Inspiration: Design / Web Design: Webdesigner Depot



I've filed this under general design as well as interactive design, because for This blog does a great job of bringing a lot of different design principals and inspirations to web design. Like today, there are links to great magazine cover design (a great for designing a landing or home page environment for a website of mobile application) all the way down to tips on doing CSS programming. The only thing that I can say about this site is that, unfortunately, I feel like it's design is trying way to hard. There is alot going on in the skinning of the page (header and footer) that seem to add more clutter to the page than excitement. The advertising section on the right column adds to the chaos as well. What do you think?
