Although only really a section of a blog this is a site that has to be seen to be understood. It\'s just an awesome example of brilliant web design that captures your imagination! I love how with every inch it draws you in and demands that you delve further!

Bento for Mac
Bento is personal database management in true Mac style. Filemaker really stepped up and addressed the complicated nature of their apps and made Bento both beautiful and simple to use. The sheer array of options for customisation is awesome!

Deez Harman
A straightforward but undeniably effective portfolio for a web designer. The intuitive header is good and I like the size and readability of the main typeface. The coffee mug and cookie design is a nice touch and adds interest to the focal area of the site.

Just Notes
A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Rocket Farms
The incorporation of the rocket in this logo is great. It\'s bold, eye-catching, and makes the brand recognisable. I particularly like the custom typeface used alongside a subtle colour palette.

Spreadt
The handmade paper look of this site works well with the use of a custom typeface. I like the torn paper effect and use of light blue and pink to highlight the key headings. I also find the use of punctuation in the logo helps to make the company name recognisable.

Dorota Soida
A very stylish business card that utilises a simple crest logo. I love the way it has a clear focal point that grabs your attention! The text on the back could be made clearer, but nonetheless a classy design!

An incredibly bright software site that makes a massive impact. The orange logo really grabs your attention while the text concisely conveys its message.

Delivery Status Touch
A supremely useful App for tracking your parcels and packages! The use of colour is extremely effective and stops the App overloading you with seemingly meaningless information. The functionality of this App is amazing and its intuitive interface only serves to make it more useful.

Cheeky Monkey
This site features some really great graphical elements. The excellently illustrated monkey character stands in front of a jQuery chalkboard with smooth transitions. This is a really nice looking page that has been kept fairly simple with content and messaging, which made room for some eye-catching artwork.

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.

Nagoya
I do not have a clue what this site is about but I think it is beautiful. I love the big circle and the representation of Japan. The writing is also excellently rendered and placed. A great pice of design in any language!

Damn Good
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.
