50 Impressive Magazine and Newspaper Styled Web Designs
Unlike other web design styles that can use larger images to compliment the design, Magazine is limited to being designed within the parameters that the content (namely, the text and the occasional thumbnail) dictates, and that is were the problem lies.

Weekly Web Design and Development Inspiration – N.16
The single page portfolio/bio sites is becoming more and more popular, a trend started by Tim Van Damme, with Marvin Y. Thomas and Oscar Barbers sites excelling in this style. Overall, it has been a strong week for great web designs, keep them coming. Oh, happy fifth birthday Firefox!
50 Inspirational and Fresh Minimally Designed Web Sites
The most important factor for minimal to work well, as it should be with all design styles (but, not always the case), is the content. Without good writing or a strong portfolio, the style has no impact and the web design looks cheap.

Weekly Web Design and Development Inspiration – N.13
The simplicity of the new YAY!Everyday redesign, even though I did love the original site design, looks and feels great. As such, simple and clean design seems to be gathering momentum recently, with a lot of established sites toning down and stripping out all elements that are not necessary. Being a big fan of minimal and clean web design I can only say, long may it continue.
A Showcase of 35 Beautiful Typographical Illustrations
Illustration and typography are not typically associated with each other, they each evoke a strong and separate visual statement in relation to there own style. Can this type (as a figure of speech) of illustration be regarded as illustration? Or, on the flip side, can the art of typography, mixed in with illustration be regarded as typography? If you are an illustrator or a typographer you will probably each have your own opinion. For us, its a match made in heaven. The combination of the two design styles creates something unique, it demonstrates that art has no boundaries, and ultimately will create something beautiful.
