27 Letters
A stunning site that is designed to showcase and advertise Giuseppe Salerno's custom typeface made from 27 distinct typographies. As you'd expect, the typography is gorgeous and makes an immediate impact. I also love the use of photography throughout this site.

The Device Lab
A fantastically clear logo that makes great use of perspective to make an impact. I really like the way the three colours work together and the choice to have the 'the' in a circle. The typeface here is utterly readable, something that can be very important when designing a functional and effective logo.

Caleb Amesbury
A great piece of UI design that comes from the footer of the personal website of Caleb Amesbury. I really like the raised feel of the icons and green highlight colour. The simple tweets section also works well and makes great use of the twitter blue.

Target
A simple but truly effective piece of icon design for an iOS app. The target is so richly detailed and has real presence. The icon can makes all the difference in user experience, it's the first thing the user sees of the interface.

A gorgeous design for some business cards! I absolutely love the brand identity and use of patterns throughout. The colour is also intriguing, the green perfectly complementing the neutral colour of the text and details.

A beautifully minimal yet effective site for a graphic design agency. The simple focal section immediately grabs your attention, while the design gallery adds a splash of vibrant colour. I really like the simple illustrations and how effective the gallery colours are.

A simple but stylish portfolio site for a designer. The use of a grid gallery works really well here, although some colour wouldn't go amiss. I particularly like the restrained use of text and intuitive layout.
