Rays Lab
A fascinatingly quirky site that immediately grabs your attention. I love the illustrative style and the vibrant use of colour. I particularly like the typeface used here and the simple navigation bar.

A brilliant and wonderfully striking site for an architecture firm. I love the design of the landing page and the use of large images throughout. The immersion in aspects of architecture is immediate and powerful for any visitors to the site.

A solid portfolio site for web designer that makes a strong impact. I like the clear description in the header and the textured background used. The gallery section uses a well worn but effective concept, showing a selection of designs on an iMac.

A straightforward but effective site for a web development company. The white text works well on the grey background, while the blue colour used throughout is great. I really like the graphic details and attention to layout.

A stylish personal blog and portfolio for a web designer and developer. I like the boldness of the background colour, the circular headshot, and the intuitive layout. It's always good when you can garner what the site is for in a couple of seconds!

A clean and well though out site for a web designer. The use of a large focal header works well to draw in the attention of any potential clients. I particularly like the use of typeface throughout.

Minimal content but a strong sense of purpose is what characterises this site. The dramatic absence of content is refreshing and encourages the visitor to stick around. The bold and carefully designed illustrations only add to the impact of this site!

An excellent portfolio site that immediately draws you in! The use of a gallery as the central focus works and brings colour and life to the site. I particularly like the little details that make all the difference. Details such as the arrows that guide you in and the ripped effect of the gallery items.

Pulse News Reader for iPad
Pulse News fo iPad sports what can only be described as a gorgeous interface. The use of neutrals and a light blue allows the photographs to take centre stage. I particularly like the transparency used throughout and the clear icons and typeface used.

Dascola Barbers
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

The first thing that hits you when this site appears is the header, it\'s fantastic! The kooky custom typeface and the wood effect works really well and instantly intrigues the visitor. I also particularly like the border between the header and body of the site although the company\'s purpose could be made clearer...

This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity. As you select an item in the navigation, it opens up a new window that is then moveable and can be arranged with the other open windows. Basically, it mimics the behavior of desktop windows. A novel idea that is fun to play with.

This site is truly unlike any others that I have seen. The design is wacky and beautiful and the functionality is quite interesting. I love the treatment of the old style typography and the splashes of color in all the right places.

New Stream Design
This site reminds me of the modern are trends of the 1990s. However, it is done in a tasteful way that does not seem outdated but instead is quite attractive. I like the dark colors and tilted shapes throughout.
