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.

Big, bold and red. This mock branding is a real attention-grabber, and I love the use of bold colour. The logo is surprisingly good, with the sideways heart offering a unique take on a well-known concept.

This busy but attractive website has a layered feel that brings a lot of depth to the design. There is some really nice illustration work on display and the glossy buttons near the bottom are a nice touch.

A fairly simple but attractive portfolio page with a horizontal image slider as the main visual element. Note the repetitive use of the dot pattern and the generous use of whitespace.

BDQ Works
In truth I think this site could a bit of an aesthetic overhaul but the swiss army knife mouse won me over and is a great graphic to represent the business. Also, there is a lot of content on this page but it is divided up nicely into clearly distinct sections and provides good inspiration for organization.
