Really Simple
A clean and minimal site that uses a fantastically intuitive layout. I like the effective use of red on the white background. The gallery is slightly quirky but adds to the character of the site.

Another Tomato
A simple but brilliant logo that immediately catches your eye. I really like the bright colours used here and the textured appearance of the tomato. The logo itself looks like it's a childish drawing, something that can be very hard to capture.

365 Typefaces
Here we have a gorgeous iPad App that uses 365 typefaces to give each day a new twist. I love the vibrant use of colour throughout the App, it works really well in combination with the vast array of typefaces. I particularly like that day gives you an expose of the daily typeface.

Sellected
A clever site for a web development agency that immediately grabs your attention. I love the use of red circles and the intriguing layout of the site. I particularly like that the tagline is supremely visible, it immediately tells a visitor where they've come.

Rock Bluff
A good example of a stamp-style logo, in this instance for a brewing company. The use of a ribbon for the company name is really effective and helps it to stand out above the rest of the logo. I like the circular nature of the logo and the stag, but the white border gets a little clumsy around the antlers.

NFD
A striking and memorable personal logo for a designer. The use of red is really effective at holding your eyes, while the typeface is straightforward but clean nonetheless. I like the concept of a circular badge-like design for a personal logo, it's nicely contained and would work well as a thumbnail.

Jorge Riera
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

iwearyourshirt Calendar
Besides from being a fascinating idea for a site in itself, iwearyourshirt also has an interesting calendar interface that allows you to see which shirts will be worn on which days. I like that each day is greyed out until you scroll over it and how easy it is to see when there are days available for sale.

The Pixel
The bright pixelated colours used here immediately grab your attention and make this logo a memorable one. I'd have liked to see a more random displacement of pixels but overall the design works. The typeface is really good and the straight edges perfectly suit the pixel idea.

Hairloss Specialist
A wonderfully deranged idea for a business card for a hairloss company! I love the concept, it could spark a slew of finger puppet based business cards. The quality of the image really helps to make this card work well, how can you resist?

Barouge
An excellent logo and business card for a restaurant and bar. I love the striking use of white and red to really make an impact! The texture on the card is great, as is the typeface used!

Salmon Designs
A straightforward but classy design for a business card. I like the clear typeface and recognisable setting of the letter S. Having the key details on both the back and front helps to make the card instantly useable.

Pocket Informant HD
A gorgeous interface for an organiser and calendar App. Pocket Informant\'s use of colour is brilliant and brings the iPad to life! The layout is intuitive and makes great use of the iPad\'s spacious screen.

Hong Kong Design Institute
A clean and simple logo for the Hong Kong Design Institute. I like the unfussy nature of the typeface and the use of bold. The use of a simple logo is effective in maintaining recognition.

Billings Touch
A clear and intuitive invoicing App. The clarity of the design is great, while the use of colour throughout works very effectively. I particularly like the use of three simple tabs and the standardised header.
