Welcome to the first Friday Focus of the year and the new decade! Here are some fantastically designed websites that should inspire you to be more daring and adventurous than ever starting right now. Ready?

Nature-inspired websites come by the dozen these days, but this week’s featured designs up the ante. They’re really lovely, I promise!

It’s creative use of vegetation this week on Friday Focus. Are you ready to grow a green thumb?

We have a bunch of metaphorical designs on Friday Focus this week: sites whose looks you can immediately tie to the product or purpose they’re “selling”.

Design inspiration comes from all around us: nature, music, personal and public events, and the lives around us. Everyone of us takes our design experience and builds it from the multitude of different places we gain inspiration from.
