Remarkable web design. Lots of understated and cool flourishes. I love the slightly parallaxed lines along the edges of the page, giving it a container definition, but a very light one.

Design View / Andy Rutledge - News Redux
july 2011 by gordonbrander
Andy Rutledge redesigns the NYT without permission. I think many of the choices here are in the right direction: featuring authors of opinion columns, going big and visual for main stories. I like especially the strict separation, visually, of news from opinion

Intricate and minimal grid-based design. Very evocative of Muller Brockmann. A clever play with layering elements (foreground and background playfully intertwine) causes the page to pop, keeping it from looking flat.
