A few months ago I published a collection of incredibly artistic websites that featured illustrations, creative headers, and detailed backgrounds (Update - 25 Incredibly Artistic Websites - Part 3 has now been published as well). Since then I’ve been bookmarking a number of sites for the same reasons, so I decided to post a follow up for your design inspiration.

Wow, these are truly awesome web designs! I loved all of them but my favourite is Josh Tilton’s
July 1st, 2008
Nice designs but most of this sites fails at one point: the interface design is more important than the content, sometimes that’s not a big trouble but a lot of times it is!
Of course, clients love eyecatching layouts!
July 1st, 2008
What a great list of sites! I don’t think I could pick a favourite, thanks for bringing them to my attention!

Steven,
My favorite by far is the Basmati Tree site, as far as looks go. My sentimental fave is Tennessee Education, because that education sites are usually horrid. It is really well-done. Good for them!

Glen,
Thanks for the suggestion. I like it.
Marcel,
I agree that there are other factors more important than design. Still, I find these types of sites to bring out a bit more creativity when I’m working on ideas for a site.
July 1st, 2008
another nice set Steven! There are some a-m-a-z-i-n-g sites here!!

every freaking website is notepaper, stick-it notes, tape, pencil, grunge, stickers, sketch, labels, random stuff. Hah.
July 1st, 2008
oh and paperclips, industrial paper clips, pens, highlighters, torn paper, paper pieces, paper, paper and more paper!
Is anyone original anymore?
July 1st, 2008
Love it. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m needing to redesign my blog and this is a fabulous post.

Mihen,
You forgot about coffee cups, they’re everywhere too. There’s always going to be some trends that a lot of people are using in their design. That doesn’t mean they can’t display some creativity. I think it’s ironic that you didn’t leave a link to your own site with your comments - that’s usually how it is with people that rip on the work of others.
July 2nd, 2008
NJ Rebel seems to be the best…nice selection of sites
July 2nd, 2008
Those are great sites that really show of artistic value. Thank you for sharing.
July 2nd, 2008
Thank you for the list - another one for the bookmark folder.
toucouleur.fr has an incredible depth of field in the header - brilliant. I normally dislike busy designs but when designed and executed to this level, it’s a different story.
July 2nd, 2008
That Toucouleur one is crazy, I love it.
July 2nd, 2008
It is. It appears crazy and carefree, but the attention to detail is astounding; even extending to the tabs at the top.
