One of the most beautiful-looking websites of recent times, Web Designer Wall, has been redesigned. Sad to the see the old design go – when I first stumbled across the site a couple of years back it really opened my eyes as to what was possible with web design and inspired me in a number of my early designs. For my money, Web Designer Wall was the best of the handcrafted/watercolour/sketchy-looking sites that were so ubiquitious a few years ago as designers reacted against the shiny/reflected aesthetic of web 2.0.
Like I said, sad to see it go, but the new design retains the spirit of the original whilst incorporting some modern web tech including HTML5 , media queries and CSS3. Check it out!
