Web Design Inspiration

You are Under No Obligation
Elliot Jay Stocks: ‘Destroy The Web 2.0 Look’ @ Future of Web Design, New York takes a look at just one of many popular design styles but the points that are brought up are just as applicable to all popular design styles. He talks about why designers adopt this style and offers us an alternative to drawing inspiration from what we see most frequently in CSS Design Galleries.

Learn from the Best
Avoid cliche use of style and look for inspiration from "big name designers" who coincidentally avoid cliche use of popular design styles. The ones listed in Stocks presentation, do not use the "web 2.0 look" at all:
