MoneyBook Icon
A simple but beautifully effective icon for an iPhone app. This MoneyBook icon perfectly conveys the purpose and design of the app, something that's vitally important when designing an app icon. I particularly like the coherent use of texture and stitching detail.

Salt Business Card
An outstandingly good business card design. The pure minimalism and powerful execution of the concept makes for an unforgettable card. I love the raised text and the salt shaker holes, they make a great statement.

An excellent infographic that depicts the progression of the Champions League Final. I really like the use of colour here to add clarity to the design. The pulling out of key details helps to make this a useful display of information.

Xcode Icon Concept
A great icon concept for Xcode that uses a gorgeous colour palette. I really like the design of the hammer and the perspective given to it. The little details, such as the slightly lifted paper, really help to make this icon work.

Leather Camera
A brilliant camera icon for an iPhone app or the like. I love the use of textures here, they make an incredible impact. It's interesting that the designer has moved away from reality and more towards making something tactile and unique.

The Wine Society
A great example of product design that would make you look twice. The bow tie mark is very different from the usual wine logo and makes this design easily memorable. The way the design differs for the occasion is a simple but effective idea that further lends the brand memorability.

Shopping Cart
An excellent shopping cart element for a web based interface. I like the clear and bold buttons and the subtle use of colour. It's the little details here, like the texture on the buttons, that really make this interface design.

Nathan Rafter
A great portfolio site for a web designer that makes an immediate impact. I like the vibrant use of colour and simple layout. The only thing I'm not convinced by is what happens as you scroll over the central button, the boxes that appear look a little messy over the background.

Brushed Metal Icons

A gorgeous add event page for a calendar based app on the iPhone. I love the colour palette and retro design of the clock. The bold typography and clean design is just great!

Hollywood Fitness
A simple logo design for a fitness club based in LA. The black and white approach makes a strong statement and also makes for easy reproduction of the logo. I particularly like the badge design, it's memorable and clear.
