Design by Fire: Requiem for an elastic dream An elastic layout is the perfect compromise between allowing a designer to effectively do their job while still giving the user some control over how the content is presented to them on the web. We can all have our cake and eat it too.

mezzoblue - Texture Flat colour and gradients only go so far. It's nice to have alternatives for filling larger stretches of space within a design; I've been turning to texture more frequently.

Stopdesign - now this is an inspirational site. They've redesigned since I first found them and I loved the original design but the new one is even better. It also varies from section to section of the site, different banner images, different colors but all the iamges tie into the theme of movement which plays on their name "stopdesign". Some well written articles on design as well.
The Man in Blue daring to use "web design", "standards" & "good looking" in the same sentence - my comments: this is a really good looking site, he's created a touchy feely sense to it, the blog pages look like they're 3D, his use of gradients is excellent, gives it all a shiny new car look that I just want to run my fingers over!

Web Standards Awards I stuck this in bloglines thinking it would highlight really nifty sites for inspiration on my own web designs but some of the sites are downright boring. The design at the awards site is nice but wayyyyy too narrow, haven't they ever heard of liquid design? Why make it leave half the page blank in a 1024x768 resolution? It's just silly.
