Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is back with another buzz-worthy service. This time around he's launching a mobile payment startup that allows the iPhone to accept credit card payments. As the iPhone app went live a short time ago, Square also launched a revamped website courtesy of inhouse designer Robert Andersen (fun fact: The last time I wrote about Robert here on Styleboost, I accidentally referred to him as Booby).

Poolga is a excellent resource for drop dead gorgeous iPhone wallpapers. It is also a very beautiful site all on its own. What's even more impressive is how it manages to pull this off without competing with the wallpapers for attention. I love the pixel perfect details, the subtle color variations and the most beautiful sidebar in the history of sidebars. Also, if my memory is not playing tricks on me, the site has slowly turned into this beauty over time through small iterations.

The first installment in Reagan Ray, Trent Walton and Dave Rupert's "The Many Faces Of..." project is out. This project was born out of a great love for movies and quality actors. Reagan's illustrations and design really makes it stand out. It's always great to behold pet projects like this one.

A few days ago, Facebook announced that they had acquired Divvyshot. If I'm not mistaken, Divvyshot launched its redesigned site just a few days prior to the announcement. I'm not sure what's going to happen to the new design and the service, but hopefully someone will make use of Divvyshot's design even after Facebook has merged the service into its own photo sharing service. It's a high class quality design that truly stands out from its competitors, after all.

Humanstudio (a.k.a Human) is a creative agency consisting of a core studio team and an extended network of talent. Founder Nick Bax was previously a director of The Designers Republic. The studio's portfolio site is basically a grid of thumbnail images of various sizes. The navigation is intuitive and easy to use, though I'd love the previous/next links to be a bit bigger. The work on display is, of course, splendid. Via CssDsgn.

Mike Matas is a photographer and interface designer over at Apple. He just redesigned his photography blog. It is done purely in javascript, no Flash, and I'm not sure I can put into words how outstanding this site is. You really should take a look at this video explaining the interface of the new site. This is ground breaking, gorgeous, jaw dropping interface design. If you're interested in reading more about Mike, there's an interview with him over at Cocoia.
UPDATE: Gordon just pointed out in the comments that Mike doesn't work at Apple any more.

Here's a designer clothing site from Serbia with some nice details in the navigation. Notice the way the items in the navigation become active as the images progressively are preloaded one after another. I'm not 100% in love with all the choices made in the design, but it looks stunning and has a slick implementation of various levels of navigation. Kudos to Nikola Arezina for pulling it off with such class.
