iceactivity
A stylish and different portfolio site for an interactive designer. I like the bold use of a single focal image that introduces the designer. The gallery section works well within the flow of the site, you are gradually drawn down the page.

A brilliant business card for a designer that would make an immediate impact. The tactile nature of the raised lettering makes you want to hold it and turn it over in your fingers. I like how simply stylish this design is, the silver really works well.

A beautifully minimal and clean site for a freelance designer. I love the stylish logo and use of a subtle greys, it really works well and lets the product design make an impact! The simple gallery is effective and adds some great colour to the site, your eyes are naturally drawn around the page.

Fish Eye Charters
An excellent logo design intended for use on a T-Shirt. The white type on black makes an immediate impact, as does the ageing logotype. The detail here is great, from the fins and scales on the fish to the subtle deterioration of the typefaces.

Chi Logo
A great concept for a logo that's based on the Chicago cityscape. I love the abstract design elements here and how the buildings appear to be springing forth from the 'V'. I particularly like the colour palette and use of colour differentiation to break up the logo.

VAO Moscow
A clean and stylish interface for an augmented reality browser designed specifically for Moscow. The attention to detail is great, a particular highlight for me is the design of the radar as it really helps to give this interface character. The use of icons throughout it excellent, while the icon designs are certainly unique!

Rodania
A stunning site for a Swiss watch maker that oozes class and sophistication. I love the use of photography here, they've managed to perfectly capture something of the beauty of the designs. The whole site mirrors the design ethic of the company itself, something that's not always easy to pull off.

Mizuno USA
Mizuno USA is an example of clean and useful user interface design. The drop down menus are intuitive, while the colour selector is an incredibly useful feature. I particularly like that you can filter the selection of irons by your handicap.

Daniel Büttner
A clean and stylish site for a web designer. The neutral colours and intuitive layout are effective at putting the visitor at ease. I particularly like the interesting navigation bar at the top of the site.

Tyrrell Design Ltd
A brilliant, if slightly abstract, logo for a construction company. I love the symbolism and great use of bold colours. I find that the use of perspective here really helps to make this logo stand out.

Matjaz Cuk
A brilliantly coherent and outstanding visual identity for a designer. I love the use of yellow as a focal colour, it helps to keep costs down while retaining memorability. The design for the CD case is great, the tiny details are a really nice touch.

Audi Exhibit Interface Design
An incredible example of interface design for the Audi exhibit at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The sleek and stylish black and red colour scheme works extremely well here, as does the layout and arrangement of the bespoke computer interface. It's interesting that they have chosen for a physical and tactile control, although it does look inspired by the interior of their cars.

Jake Moore
An brilliantly unique design for a business card that would immediately grab the attention of any prospective client. I love the concept of a circular design, although it many be a little impractical to store! The colour palette used here is certainly striking and instantly ignited my curiosity.

Rain Interactive
An awesome site for a design agency that features a huge slideshow of previous projects. The slideshow is very effective at immersing the casual visitor to the site, while the simple yet brilliant concept of the three circles works well to get the identity of the company across. Some of the images are particularly striking!

A gorgeous design for a web interface. I love the bold and consistent use of red throughout and the ingenious use of video content. I particularly like the unique menu design, it certainly asks questions about the future of interactive sites on the web.

Steven Taylor
The minimal approach works really well here! The choice to use white on black is great and helps to make the card immediately useful. However, what ultimately makes this design is the gorgeous textured card and engraved nature of the text.

Ron Rizzo
This is a fantastic site for a jewellery designer! I love the impact of the header and use of high quality photographs to capture the beauty of the diamonds. The way the body of the site scrolls upwards while the header remains works well here, while I particularly like the transparency of the logo.

Facebook Facelift
Facebook Facelift is an awesome concept for a redesign of the Facebook user interface. I absolutely love the clarity and simplicity of the design, it truly enhances the usability and enjoyment of the Facebook experience. I also particularly like the concept of a Facebook Publisher site that would function as a stripped back communication platform.
