Cinnamon Toast
A great site for a design agency that draws you in with its bright use of colours. I like the illustrations and graphic styling of the site, it gives an idea of the style of the designers. The simple five-slide gallery slider works well to showcase recent work.

Choose Your Coffee
A beautiful example of interface design that features a simple selection mechanism. I love the colour palette and minimal buttons! The textured background gives a sense of depth and character to the interface.

Born in the Barn
A fascinating site for recruiting new people to The Site Doctor team. I love the concept of this site and the way you can collect your favourite job concepts into a 'hand'. The design is engaging, if a little confusing - playing cards and the barn don't seem to go hand in hand.

Hank Williams
A beautifully vintage example of packaging design for a set of Hank Williams recordings. I love the antique radio as the basis of the design and the vinyl effect given to the CDs.

Restaurant Porte Sainte Claire Annecy
A brilliant restaurant site that makes an immediate impact. I love the food photography here, it's a difficult thing to get right but the colour and freshness of the food here is clearly evident. The simple central block of information is easy to understand and clear, people often just want the vital details when looking up a restaurant online.

Quaker Oats
An intriguing piece of product branding that makes great use of the lids on these Quaker Oats pots. I love the fresh and delicious-looking designs that feature on the lids and the impact they make. The use of colour is engaging and works well to complement the neutral colour of the oats.

Brooklyn Fare Coffee
A brilliant branding project for Brooklyn Fare. I love the minimal design, the simple text on a plain colour works really well in this instance. I like the impact of the slogans and the impact of the chosen orange, it's very different from most other coffee cup designs.

Solo
A beautifully striking site for a project management tool for freelancers. I love the black text on orange and the intuitive way the site leads you through. There could be a reduction in the opening text, however.

Child Bros.
A great snapshot of a beautifully designed interface. I love the subtle use of wood grain and the attention to textures and layers. I love the restrained colours of the background, it allows the content to make an impact.

Delivery Costs
A simple shot of an iPhone delivery costs screen for an app called iPostcards. I love the wood grain and the fascinating use of typography. The green and blue circles work really well to make the details clear, even on a small screen.

Arnaud Beelen
A fascinating approach to a design portfolio. I love the twist on the grid concept that's been implemented here! The use of fragments works well to give any prospective clients a taste of this designers style.

iPostcards
A gorgeous fragment of a user interface concept for an iPhone app. I love the grain of the wood and how well the chosen typeface works with it. The no/yes button is simply brilliant, I just want to press it!

Navigation
I really like this simple approach to making a more engaging form of site navigation. The way you navigate a site has a real and definite impact on your user experience, this small change makes a difference. I particularly like the vibrant colours chosen to bring the navigation to life!
