Boardwalk Empire
An unfussy and classy cinema site. The sparing use of orange is great and really makes a statement. I particularly like the little details and good use of space.

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.

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.

Brokedesign
An outstanding design portfolio site. Immediately draws your attention to the dramatic design in the centre and leads you to enquire further. The use of polaroids as thumbnails is great and I also like the contrast of the bright primary colours with the black and white interface of the site.

Stan the Snowman
A great looking post card site. The images have a delightful hand-drawn feel and really grab your attention. One design element that really appeals to me is the use of custom drawn Facebook and Twitter badges.

Tumblr (iPhone)
The Tumblr App for iPhone is a simple and straightforward way to manage your site on the go and its interface is perfect for just that. Its iPhone consistent UI is great and the use of only three tabs further increases its usability.

Squarespace (iPhone)
Squarespace for the iPhone has an undeniably stylish interface that uses custom icons to great success! I particularly like the consistent use of white, greys, and black throughout the App.

Picto Foundry
This site has a clear three column layout and uses colours very effectively in order to draw your attention to its icon and button packages. I like that the Picto Foundry site gradually guides you down the page as it goes into more detail about its packages.

Viccolla
A ridiculously minimalistic site with a centred logo and a clear description of the company. The logo is a great focal point and the simple layout guides users straight to the portfolio and testimonials.

Homepage Helden
A clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.

Sir Chesterfield
This furniture site is minimal but extremely effective. The custom typeface is perfectly fitting for the company while the dark background adds an element of class to the whole site. I particularly like the high quality photographs of the sofas.
