Simple but powerful visuals for this brand new one day festival that took place in Stockholm, Sweden last Saturday. Great colors and typography wrapped in a single page wrapping works really well here.

Ditto is a beautifully designed online shop for buying designer eyewear. Make sure to check out the "Recommendations" feature, as it is both technologically and ux-wise a wonderfully implemented tool. The site would be great even if it wasn't for this single feature. Also, I'm loving the addition of the little "$" icons as an incentive to lure new users in to engage with the site.

If you haven't heard of Daniel Källbom yet, now is the time. He has mad skills, he works on wonderfully disruptive projects and he has a phenomenal portfolio. If you like Daniel's work, you should also check his brother's portfolio.

This one here is a shameless plug for my own agency's site. However, to my defence, I would like to state that I'm super proud of the site and that I only played a minor part in the final result. It was truly a team effort, where @rovdyr and @jensen2k did most of the heavy lifting. Via @MaximeDeGreve.

Lorenzo Verzini is an Italian designer & art director living in London. His portfolio pretty much kicks ass. Beautiful stuff! Via @rovdyr.

With this one Styleboost is literally late to the party. The Norwegian design studio Uniform recently turned 15 years old, and the accompanying site tells the story of the studio through animation. Unusual and nicely executed.

Built by @dhg, @connors and @fat, Ratchet is a framework for prototyping iPhone apps with simple HTML, CSS and JS components. While I have no doubt that Ratchet is the new cool kid on the prototyping block, the reason it is listed here on Styleboost is simply because it presents the tool in a elegant and informative way.

Even if I'm not using Branch as much as I should, I still consider it one of my favorite sites of 2012. I think it has so much potential when it comes to raising the bar on online discussions. This topic is something that has been occupying a lot of my time lately, and Branch is one of the most exciting takes I've seen on this so far. Also, it looks great and is full of subtly designed features that may help Branch succeed.

“Boy genius” Nick D’Aloisio recently launched his mobile news app that has a long list of high profile investors like Stephen Fry, Matt Mullenweg, Ashton Kutcher, Betaworks and many more. The app is interesting enough, and looks beautiful. However, that shouldn't be enough to be posted here on Styleboost. The site is posted because it is accompanied by a very smooth and elegant landing page. I'm pretty sure that it works wonders to show off the power of Summly.

The Next Web recently gave their site a nice big responsive overhaul. The result is one of the prettier news sites around. However, what I find more interesting are the moves they've made to make their content more easily accessible. Specifically I'm thinking of the now very simple main navigation, the big type, the well organized homepage, the clean article layouts, and so on. Main main takeaway from the redesign is that they tried — and succeeded — to make the site less overwhelming. This is something that very few news sites dare to do.
