A good portfolio site that utilises a scrolling central display. The use of a photograph of the designer in the background is effective and makes a good statement. I particularly like the bold typeface and use of text throughout the site.

iBooks for iPad is a stunning application that looks simply gorgeous! The bookshelf design is brilliant and makes the entire concept of reading on your iPad supremely enticing.

A brilliant personal business card design. The large black graphic makes a stunning impact when used against the plain white background. I particularly like the placement of the vital information along the bottom of the card in a light grey colour - it just looks so stylish!

A friendly logo for a software company. The toaster illustration is interesting and I like the slight difference in typeface between the word toasted and candy. The colour inversion works well but I prefer the cartoon-style logo on a white background.

A bold engaging site for a software company. The use of colour and contrasting typefaces help to draw in your attention. The textured background is subtle but effective.

This is an effective site for a Barbers that uses a cartoon style to give out a friendly vibe. I like the use of the two main figures as a focal point and the bold colours used on a sparse background. I do find the name of the barbers difficult to read, which could be clarified by the use of a simpler font, but the animated Barber Shop sign is a nice touch

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.

An example of effective use of a photograph in business card design. The framing of the photo is perfect for using in the background as are the dark colours - Pada Murre clearly stands out! I particularly like the simple nature of the back of the card which allows easy access to the important information.

A web design site with great potential. The Elegant Seagulls logo is beautiful and stands out from the rest of the site due to its hand-drawn nature. I particularly like the simple use of a border to frame the site and the typefaces used throughout.

An undeniably beautiful way to make presentations on your iPad. Keynote uses textured backgrounds and great themes to create an effortlessly stylish interface. The use of drop-down menus is excellent while the custom icons make you want to try out each possible chart style!

Relatively simple but extremely effective packaging for a CD. I love the use of just two colours throughout and the consistent graphical style. The continuation of the design onto the CD itself is excellent and shows great attention to detail.

You expect design portfolios to be good and this is no exception. The bold use of text and colour makes for a friendly and welcoming site that urges you to read on! I\'m not a huge fan of the background colour but the beautiful typefaces used throughout more than make up for it.

A relatively basic, but nonetheless clear, corporate logo. The natural palette is used effectively and the text is readable on first glance. The alignment of the text suits the logo well.
