Thomas Antiques
An excellent site for an antiques seller. The use of neutral colours allows the slideshow of fascinating antiques to flourish. The central logo is perfect and makes a good statement. It\'s also worth noting that the site continues to fascinate as you move downwards - using antique photography and simple descriptive text.

A great design site that makes an instant impact! The use of colour is subtle but effective while the overall feel of the site really works. The Twitter, Facebook, and Blog links are great, as is the company logo!

A simple but brilliant web design site. I love the central idea and effective use of colour. The custom typeface used for \'I Just Make it Look Good\' is great and really makes a statement.

Studio Pixel
A clean and clear website for a design site. The minimalist approach is effective and allows your attention to be drawn towards examples of the companies design work. The logo is recognisable and makes a statement and the sparse use of colour works really well.

Alexanderkryska
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.

Elegant Seagulls
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.

Tim Palmer
Good use of orange against a neutral background here. The layout of the site makes it easy to navigate while the tape player adds interest. I like the box that slides through various tracks that were produced and/or mixed by Tim Palmer.

Billy\'s Downtown Diner
A brilliant restaurant site with an active header that brings the street to life. The way the menu bar and logo use perspective to jump out at you is great! I also particularly like the use of colour set against a desaturated background.

Moovents
A unrelentingly fascinating site! As you move about the page the colourful background artefacts ebb and flow beautifully. I love the use of the whole colour spectrum contrasted against the white background and the design of the logo.

Polecat
A bright and endearing site for a team of App developers. The consistent cartoon style is great and really draws you in! The overall design is fantastic. Everything is readable and well spaced and the site leads you through the design process perfectly.

The Font Game
The Font Game is an App that is perfect for passionate designers and illustrators and as such needs to have a stunning interface. Fortunately it lives up to expectation; utilising space and icons brilliantly, keeping it simple, and focusing on the fonts!

Matteo Larghi
An extremely stylish portfolio site. It exemplifies great use of space and a neutral palette. Of particular note is the use of a large portrait as the focal point, something which I find really works!

Froot
An attractive magazine style site that draws together interesting things from across the web. The central logo is extremely effective at grabbing your attention and I love the fruit theme. I also particularly like the use of large thumbnail links and how attractive they make the site.

Acrobits
A clean and bright corporate site for a mobile solutions company. The use of space is great and naturally brings your eyes to the important information. I like the simple but effective logo and the subtle use of fading to add interest to the site.

Sander Wapstra
A relatively simple site that uses its typefaces and layout to draw you in. The designers initial in the to left is great but could be larger while there is a certain lack of colour. I do really like the custom designed Twitter icon however.

Codehero
A site that needs using to fully understand the design - with each section coming to life as your scroll over it. I love the contrast of the blue and red with the black and grey of the rest of the site.
