Philip Readman Design
A simply stunning site for a graphic and web designer. I love the power that this grid layout has, each individual piece stands out and makes an impact. The minimal background and navigation helps to put the focus solely on the work being displayed.

A fascinating site for recruiting new people to The Site Doctor team. I love the concept of this site and the way you can collect your favourite job concepts into a 'hand'. The design is engaging, if a little confusing - playing cards and the barn don't seem to go hand in hand.

Restaurant Porte Sainte Claire Annecy
A brilliant restaurant site that makes an immediate impact. I love the food photography here, it's a difficult thing to get right but the colour and freshness of the food here is clearly evident. The simple central block of information is easy to understand and clear, people often just want the vital details when looking up a restaurant online.
