Inspirations and favorites

Art is an idea that has found its perfect form. ... No matter how perfectly you do something, it can still be improved.

Don't try to be original, just try to be good.

More "design links and favorite sites":http://urlgreyhot.com/personal/weblink/view/122 can be found in my link log under the "Visual design" topic.

Fido AB's flash site is awesome. very nice grid that reminds of fourm designs, I think because of the blobby shapes becoming rectangles and squares. could do this layout with CSS as well I think.
