Nike+ Sport Band
A absolutely stunning concept for a sports band that integrates with the Nike+ system. I love the colour and variety in the other potential designs, although the orange and black one does it for me! The incorporation of the USB memory is an ingenious idea that purely enhances the user experience.

Wes Bos
A stylish personal blog and portfolio for a web designer and developer. I like the boldness of the background colour, the circular headshot, and the intuitive layout. It's always good when you can garner what the site is for in a couple of seconds!

The City Is Burning
A bold HTML5 site for a web designer that has clearly had a lot of attention given to it. I like impact that the header makes and clear way the site leads you through. A good example of a how a single column layout can work.

Pixel Stadium
A clean and well though out site for a web designer. The use of a large focal header works well to draw in the attention of any potential clients. I particularly like the use of typeface throughout.

In the Lost & Found
A great site for a self confessed 'curious designer'. I really like the framing of the body of the site by a textured header and footer, they add interest but keep the content uncluttered. Using a small gallery of recent projects is a great way to add life to any design based site and immediately draws in any visitors.

Drexler
This design and development company utilises a rather interesting user interface to engage visitors to the site. The content is laid out in a horizontal slideshow for which you can, if you like, use your arrow keys. I like the overall simplicity of the idea, although using your arrow keys is perhaps a little gimmicky.

*Twodesigners*
A brilliantly stylish and simple site a pair of industrial product, graphic, and space designers. I love the simple monochrome approach and stylised sketch as the focal point. The restrained home page works well with only three of their most recent works being shown in the gallery section.

the works of Roel Wouters
A fascinating approach to site navigation that aims to engage users through its unique and disjointed layout. I like the odd design of this site and its quirky appeal. Making a site intentionally unintuitive can sometimes work to further engage visitors, a portfolio site like this is the perfect candidate for such an experiment.

Gatilho
An almost surprisingly bright and vibrant site for a design agency. The use of colour and graphical detail is fascinating and really helps to draw you into the site. It might divide opinion but it won't fail to make an impact!

Tyler Jones Studio
A beautifully minimalistic site for a furniture designer. I love the straightforward use of photography and the way in which the site allows the furniture to make an impact. The purity of the site is almost striking and appeals immediately due to its clean and intuitive layout.

New Year Gift Set
A beautiful and original idea for a calendar that was designed for Huggies. I love the moving baby's feet concept that imitates the baby's steps to show the current day. I love the childlike and innocent look of the calendar, as if it was hand-made.

Tree of Swashes
A simple but striking logo that has an appealingly hand-drawn quality to it. The use of white on black is almost always strong, and this is a good example. The intricate design makes for an effective and memorable logo.

Ashfall Design
An effortlessly clean and effective web design for a designer and developer. I like the use of typeface and typesetting as the primary way to keep the readers attention. The consistent use of colour and imaginative gallery section really help to set this site apart from the rest.

Bar-T Calendar
A simple but pretty approach to a calendar. I like the blue painted design and attention to detail. The rounded boxes and use of typeface really makes this calendar.

Fents Electrical
A brilliantly sparky logo for an electrical company. I love the use of pinks and purples for the spark design, it looks great in contrast with the straightforward white text on grey. A stunning logo that's memorable and sure to make an impact!

The Pixel
The bright pixelated colours used here immediately grab your attention and make this logo a memorable one. I'd have liked to see a more random displacement of pixels but overall the design works. The typeface is really good and the straight edges perfectly suit the pixel idea.

Chrono-Shredder
A fascinating design for a calendar that allows you to shred each day once it's done! I love the bold red and framing of the days. It's a great concept that'll really help you to put the past behind you.
