IWC Schaffhausen | Fine Timepieces From Switzerland | Home
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
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

Black Estate Vineyard – Omihi Waipara. New Zealand Wine
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.

One of those single-serve personal webpages. This one sets itself apart through the use of unusual type and just enough of a splash of color.

It's another design inspiration gallery, only this time organized by pattern, e.g. "breadcrumbs", "backgrounds", "audio", etc. A much more useful way to do it, really.
