This week on Friday Focus, we pay homage to the good old newspaper, whose elegance and practicality ought to transcend the ages. Print isn’t dead; not quite yet.

Rainbows are typically loud and attention-grabbing, but these sites have toned down the explosion of color to bring about a more modern look altogether.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Hope you aren’t too stuffed yet, ’cause we have huge backgrounds on this week’s Friday Focus.

Focus is one of the most important aspects of design—you need to tell the audience which elements are important and which aren’t. This week’s featured sites execute this idea well, and even take it to the next level. See if these designs don’t grab your attention at all!

This week on Friday Focus: one-page sites that sure to tickle your design tastes. They’re both playful and well-made, so enjoy!

Happy free 7-11 Slurpy day! Happy iPhone 3G day! Let’s celebrate with some sleek websites this week.

Oh, and we have a ton of examples this time, so brace yourself!
