The Big Noob
I think this site is really pretty: The Big Noob™ - a Neubix Studios production. despite the fact that the archives are broken. the profile pics are excellent, and the big top image is informative plus pretty (wallpaper esp). I also like the way it creates its own "fold"... designing for above- and below- the fold is a 90s thing, but this is more like fitting two pages elegantly on to one; anyways, all the info is on the bottom part, and the top is just a quick way to engage people.
1. there are a lot of sites I think are really pretty without noting them. 2. I won't necessarily be imitating this site. 3. what is it with young designers focusing on their personality?
see also: purevolume, a music site that is kind of designed by those people. similar: blocks of content that aren't explicitly labeled but very clear what they are/contain. lots of types of content on the same page. content gets smaller/more lists as you move further down the page.
