- boojoy, on 06/27/2009, -1/+15Step 1: Choose a font
Step 2: Write a short introduction about how you offer new forays into user experience and design and put it in a huge font. Possibly italicize.
Step 3: Highlight a few of these words.
Step 4: RAKE IN THE PROFITS!!!!!!!!
I actually like a lot of these designs, but I'm watching HGTV with my girlfriend at home on a Friday night and I'm bitter and I'm going to take it out in the Digg comments section. It's a vicious cycle. - mythicflux, on 06/27/2009, -0/+13Seriously, these don't even use animated GIF's in the background.
- confoundedjoe, on 06/27/2009, -1/+13clean maybe but not intuitive at all.
- ps3beast, on 06/27/2009, -1/+12I know I'm being somewhat of a troll, but Google, anyone?
- Zoshchenko, on 06/27/2009, -4/+13Once again...websites by designers about themselves that have no relationship to the real world. None of their clients would want a site like these because it doesn't say anything other than, "look at me - I'm a hot, cool designer!"
- ZamBlade, on 06/27/2009, -2/+1056 Clean website designs devoid of any color

/troll - graeh, on 06/27/2009, -0/+6they're not web 2.0 designs.
Most of them are classic post bauhaus german/swiss typographic exercises. A design style with roots, among other things, with the third reich (those nazis knew design). Coupled with some modular grid systems.
If you grab a typography design theory book - you'll find a lot of that sort of stuff. There are designs that look similar to many of those compositions on there dating as early as 1950. And that's not a bad thing - it's an iconic style. A familiar composition from that time which remains to this day virtually unchanged, is the VW full page magazine ad typographic treatment. It's a lovely style.
It's absolutely NOT web2.0. Web2.0 style is your rounded lower case pastel toned light gradienting affair.
A whole segment of creative is done exclusively in flash now - interactive user experience creative. Flash is not a design, or a style. It's a peerless foundation for interactive creative, in the relevant fields, however. Think MS Surface, Minority Report, Xbox live Dashesque interactive. A lot more fun to do creative in that domain than "web 2.0 web pages". Crazy ass amount of potential and possibility. - r00fus, on 06/27/2009, -0/+6myspace won't be here in 2 years. mark my words. it is the geocities of the 00's
- internetfanboy, on 06/27/2009, -0/+5Looks like alright to me .... for a personal blog
- rotundo, on 06/27/2009, -0/+5Very few of the designers who spend all day blogging about navel-gazing design are successful creatives either. And yes I know plenty enough of them to say that.
Being a designer at the moment is kind of like being in a local rock band 15 ago. You spend all your time in self promotion, hanging out with like minded people, you make a little money and impress some folks. A small number may make it big, but most of them end up having to compromise and get a regular job.
And I say that with compassion, as someone who has done some design and was also in a local rock band 15 years ago :) - DirtPile, on 06/27/2009, -1/+6I only visit sites with flashing banner ads and pop-ups that give me prizes.
- phatbyte, on 06/27/2009, -2/+7Some of these designs are really cool. What's wonderful about the new clean web 2.0 designs is that, in a time were bandwidth and internet speed is doubling almost every year the more light and clean are the websites.
I can still remember websites back in the 90s were full of flash, huge images, and bling bling everywhere....oh wait...myspace is still alive. - airstrike, on 06/27/2009, -0/+5it's actually georgia with a -3px letter-spacing setting. you can do -a lot- with that setting to change the look and feel of typefaces.
- Wuss, on 06/27/2009, -0/+5why would a designer create a self-promotional site that looks like a client site? "Look at me - I'm a hot, cool designer!" is probably the exact message they're trying to send, and rightly so.
What the hell are they supposed to do? Make their site look like HP.com? Your rant makes absolutely no sense.
And since noone's seemed to notice, the vast majority of these are free wordpress themes. - themonkmob, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4yeah its got something different about it...i think some of the edges are rounded off
- smogger01, on 06/27/2009, -1/+5One of the reasons that design worked for a certain purpose, didn't it?
- ThatsNotPoetry, on 06/27/2009, -2/+6Oh, simplicity. I miss you. Thank you for posting this; great for ideas.
- Braxo, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4More like topography in website design.
- MtheoryX, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4topography?
I see no maps being used here. - epgui, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4from the CSS:
color: #222;
font-family: georgia,times,Times New Roman,times-roman,georgia,serif;
font-size: 77px;
font-weight; normal;
line-height: 64px;
letter-spacing: -3px;
text-transform: uppercase; - themonkmob, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4anybody know what font the
"The ad network
of creative, web and
design culture" is in this link?
http://decknetwork.net/ - themonkmob, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4sweet. thanks a lot
- pmclinn, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4What no spinning hubcaps?
- sg1fan, on 06/27/2009, -1/+4Its a fact... the sites looked boring... simple, but boring.
- MtheoryX, on 06/27/2009, -0/+3***** flash.
- themonkmob, on 06/27/2009, -0/+3some of these are complex within their simplicity...it doesn't mean that they are very appealing. Most of these don't show a point of interest.
- epgui, on 06/27/2009, -0/+3Buried for lack of punctuation oh my why even bother with that pesky stuff
- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3I like the one with the white background
- elwell, on 06/27/2009, -1/+4you have a girlfriend?
- celotil, on 06/27/2009, -1/+4And here I thought Web 2.0 was just designing with simple* aesthetics, separation of style and content, and building to the established standards so that everyone (with the exception of IE quirks) can enjoy well formed web content.
*Simple in the context of no jarring flashy crap that gives people seizures or nausea. Simple does not necessarily mean lacking sophistication. - mythicflux, on 06/27/2009, -1/+3I wish I could digg you twice for your brutal honesty. (On both fronts)
- penguinjoe, on 07/27/2009, -0/+2well done ! I like them all
- ctour95, on 06/27/2009, -1/+3They were all sites from graphic artists and web designers... I sometimes think these and the business card lists are just cheap ways of trying to get exposure... I'm afraid I had to bury this.
- graeh, on 06/27/2009, -1/+3Web 2.0 is obviouslya distinct collection of functional implementations - as you stated.
In the context that Web 2.0 was used by phatbyte, it identifies a collection of distinct thematic visuals.
Functionally, Digg, is an identifiably "Web 2.0" implementation of various functionality.
Thematically, the twitter logo, the flickr logo, are visually distinct as web2.0 in thematic terms.
For all web2.0 does mean, doesn't mean, is used, overused, and misused - it clearly has several contexts.
Just google "web2.0 designs" or "web2.0 logos" - if you're unfamiliar with the widespread use of the term in the creative domain. - WBWB, on 06/27/2009, -1/+3I think you're right. This is spam for web designers.
How the hell are web designers supposed to make themselves stand out above the others when their sites are so dull they all look alike? - vorda, on 06/28/2009, -1/+3It's minimalism dude.
- phatbyte, on 06/27/2009, -1/+2I guess I haven't make myself clear. You're right about the web 2.0, but was I was talking about the simplistic web designing these days, or if you want, a more clean UI.
- confoundedjoe, on 06/27/2009, -2/+3Times. Or some derivative.
- l1ght80x, on 07/13/2009, -0/+0lol...understandable, but the sites do kick ass.
- skyred, on 06/29/2009, -1/+1This beer website also uses minimalist strategy (while a lot of other related websites use FLASH).
http://greatbrewers.com - sg1fan, on 06/30/2009, -1/+1You can still have a small amount of color... uh... dude. or maybe I can make assumptions and call you dudette
- Enthalpic0, on 06/29/2009, -1/+0I don't want clean I want complexity, dynamism, and visual interest...This is an easy way out...
- sg1fan, on 06/27/2009, -3/+2My thought exactly
- graeh, on 06/27/2009, -3/+2And that's why you're not a successful creative,
- MariamWilliams, on 06/27/2009, -3/+1Very Cool 3column templates but where is downloading link
