A brutally simple logo that's an interesting example of personal branding. The clean lines and basic nature of its structure help to make it memorable. I like the flow of the design and the relatively unique way the logo uses this particular designer's initials.

Stylefish
A fascinating site for a design agency that goes by the name Stylefish. I like the consistent use of colour and strong sense of branding. It's bound to make you look twice, something that's relatively hard to do!

LYO FOOD
A solid site that makes an immediate impact. I really like how strong the logo is and the use of orange to highlight specific design details. The grid layout below works well to give visitors the information they need.

Matt Brothers
A wonderfully designed site for a web designer that makes great use of transitions and HTML 5. I really like the intuitive scrolling and flow of the site, although the background picture viewable at the bottom is of a rather poor quality.

Cloud Drive
A simply gorgeous, and highly detailed, icon for a cloud drive concept. I love the use of colour, the blue really makes an impression! The perspective also helps to add depth and intrigue to the design, finishing off the design perfectly.

Vuzum
A clean and functional site for a web design studio. I like the use of a slider to show previous examples of work, and the subtle background colours. The navigation is intuitive, while the site gives you a good idea of what the company does.

Typetastic
Type can be one of the most important elements of an interface, and makes an immediate impression on every user. I love the bright and bold design here and the gorgeous use of colour!

In Motion
I really like the layout and design of this particular site, especially the illustration on the left that only becomes entirely clear after you realise it's a site for a mobile massage company. The colour palette is great, while the iconography makes a real statement.

Sticky Butterscotch UI
A gorgeous example of consistent user interface design that makes an impact. I like the dark textures and little details that give this UI set depth. One of the hardest things to achieve is making all of the elements look like they fit together, something that is certainly accomplished here.

Cloth Hill
A simple but effective logo for a clothing site called Cloth Hill. I like the way the white works on the yellow background and the use of shapes. Using very basic shapes and ideas, a clear picture is formed in your mind - something that is very effective at making a design memorable.

Designstudio Steinert
A simply great site for a design studio that makes beautiful use of the grid layout to grab your attention. I particularly like the diversity of colour, and the way the designs brighten as you highlight them.

Column Five
A simply gorgeous site for a design studio that specialises in infographics. I love the use of a huge slider to showcase examples of their work, it makes an immediate impact. The use of typography throughout is what most stands out to me, attention to detail and neat little touches abound.

Hillary Hopper Logo
This logo is just so clean and fresh it makes an immediate statement! I love the selection of typefaces and the interesting combination of colours. It's recognisable and gives you exactly the right impression about this designer.

Drops
A simply stunning site for a charitably project that aims to support Wateraid. I love the colour palette and consistent design throughout the site. The illustrated elements make a great impact, as do the little touches like the pictures of the team behind the site.

Jim Nielsen
An effortlessly clean and stylish portfolio site for a web designer. I particularly like that the site uses a consistent red, white, and black theme throughout. The simple typography and use of thumbnails help to give you an idea of this designer's work.

Contacts Icon
A solid icon design for an upcoming contacts app on iOS. Why you would need a different contacts app is beyond me, but the icon has a good sense of style. The use of textures and detail and a nice depth and character to the icon.

Orlebar Brown
A solid design for the site of a clothes designer that makes a statement by sticking to a limited colour palette. The monochrome photography and use of red works really well and gives the shop a level of style.

Tiny Player
A gorgeously simple interface element that really goes for conserving space! This tiny music player uses subtle colours and minor details to add depth to its minimal design.
