You posted two of my sites! Thanks a bunch.

Nice roundup! I try to create a nice ’showcase’ work for my header about every three weeks. I get some good feedback on some…nothing on others. It’s all a lucky guess, but also a nice inspiration and motivation to keep plugging away at winning crowd approval. Thanks for these…I’m already bookmarking some favorites, and will try to incorporate these designs into my next work.
Wicked stuff. Bookmarked

Header’s really define branding and grab visitors’ attention, much like the masthead and headline of a newspaper. These are some slick designs. I’m a fan of Luova. Most of your picks are web 2.0 and grundge look. Design is changing, however. There’s a notion that’s been flying around for the last few years that web 2.0 is dying. What is the design technique of the future?
