A beautiful and effortlessly minimal site that allows this designer's work to make an immediate impact. I love the subtle use of colour and restrained use of text. The gallery section really draws you in and gets you straight to the point.

Design Closet
A bright and colourful logo for a design agency that immediately makes an impact! The background is particularly effective at showing off the colours of the logo itself. I really like the typeface and how memorable the logo idea is!

Moovents
A unrelentingly fascinating site! As you move about the page the colourful background artefacts ebb and flow beautifully. I love the use of the whole colour spectrum contrasted against the white background and the design of the logo.

Alvena Business Cards
These business cards have a beautiful texture, rounded corners, and vivid colour. They certainly stand out from the norm. I particularly like the inverted use of the logo in white on the reverse of the card.

Indus Tuesdays
Two strikingly different colours, but consistent styling makes these cards work really well. The whole concept just seems to "work" for me, and I love that they're presented on a wooden textured background.

HippoApp
This site features some really superb illustrations, animated background objects and a mouse-powered parallax effect. It is a beautiful design from top to bottom and the developers really went all out on the eye candy.

Creative Mints
This incredibly unique site features some awesome illustration work and super bright colors. Note the generous use of whitespace and the use of another color in the middle of the site to break up the content.

The Bridal Boutique
This site features a really clean and professional design and plenty of high quality photography. I really like the navigation area with the pop out hover effects. The lightly textured background is also a nice touch.

Pancake Payments
Pancake is a way to receive and track payments and project deliverables. The cartoony illustration style is fun and the bright colors work well together. The overall design is quite clean with plenty of white space.

Mary-Ann Foster
Sometimes the simplest idea can make the strongest statement. Here we see only a large circle and a navigation area but the visual statement is quite unique and attractive.

Cafundo Estudio
This is one crazy site concept. There is a giant rooster head, some Tim Burton-esque 3D typography, apstract tentacle shapes, vertical lines and star bursts. From just reading that description you would picture a hideous site but it actually looks great! Nice work.

Apperang
I am not sure how it all works, but Apperang is a site that claims to pay users for downloading iPhone apps. Regardless of whether or not you can actually make money from Apperang, it is in fact a great looking site. I like the big, bold typography and rounded, shadowed button shown above.

Zennaware
The large image in the center really steals the show and is a really nice piece of 3D modeling. The rest of the page is very minimal and serves as the perfect setting to highlight the primary graphic.

PhoneGap
PhoneGap is an open source framework for mobile apps. The site features a lot of great bits of design. The dark gray background with the square is nice, the icons are excellent and there is a seamless flow between a two and three column layout.

Dr. Lyle Natural Health Care
An online store for natural remedies and medicines. The bright orange is a refreshingly unique choice that was risky but implemented well. The layout is clean and flows well for the reader.
