Friday Focus 01/30/09: Collages and Scrapbooks
Let’s have some collage and scrapbook style web designs for this week. It’s like the lighter, less angsty grunge!
Designs of the Week
Rarely do font and gallery-type sites get a highly stylized treatment, so this one’s a breath of fresh air. Even the login form is nicely decorated, although the field sizes could have been made bigger.
Excellent use of javascript to animate the images and text—why bother with Flash? And the overall look is clean and light, which is what a fitness program is supposed to make you feel.
Beautiful typography, imagery, and colors. I like that the blurb has atypical rounded corners that break away from the boxy articles below it.

Friday Focus is always my favorite post to look for in my rss reader. Always great sites.
I always try to design this way and can never come up with anything even close to these types of designs. I guess it is just not my style. Where do you usually look for these sites?

Will, from the tons of inspiration galleries out there! But did you mean specifically this style? Unfortunately, CSS galleries aren’t good at classifying looks and elements as specific as possible, so it’s more of a serendipitous experience for me.
Do try these niche galleries though.
