Best of CSS Design 2007

Smashing design and WEB Designer wall have unleashed the best of CSS Design for 2007.

Some of my favourites include:

Scrapblog
A beautiful web-app frontpage.





Larissa Meek
A beautiful blog design by Larissa Meek, formerly a model, now she is an art director at AgencyNet.




Veerle’s Blog
Another classic beautiful blog - I previously commented on Veerle's designs here.

SlideShare - Death by Microsoft Power Point

I visited SlideShare Link for the first time last month (can't remember how I found it), and I stumbled across this excellent presentation.

Two reasons why I think this is great:

• The slideshare technology is very cool
• The presentation is really appropriate

I attended a Microsoft Business Intelligence presentation after viewing this slideshow and common mistakes highlighted here appeared in a number of the Microsoft presentations.

The great thing about this technology is it is fast and all presentations are indexed on their server - making it very easy to share your presentation with the world.

Webby Awards | My Top 5 designed blogs

The 2007 Bloggy Awards are now on and after voting I thought I would give my favourite top 5 design blogs vs the Bloggy top 5 design blogs.

A "weblog" is defined as a page with dated entries.
The contest is open to any weblogs that existed for a period of time during the year 2006, so weblogs that were discontinued during 2006 are also eligible.

2007 Bloggies

1. Veerles Blog
2. Pearsonified
3. French Toast Girl
4. Gizmodo
5. Subtraction7

My Favourite 2007 Blogs

1. Pearsonified
2. Blog Studio
3. Antipixel
4. Shape of Days
5. Odds and Ends
6. Veerles Blog
(I had to add Veerle's blog after visiting it from the bloggy Awards !)

There are 1001 top blogs / websites around but when you visit them, you realise that it all comes down to personal taste. But I am happy if I find 1 in 5 blogs that I like. Friends regularly ask me to send them links to good design work (so here is a shortlist).

For a great list of blogs on any category you can think of, visit 9Rules

... We started 9rules to give passionate writers more exposure and to help readers find great blogs on their favorite subjects. It’s difficult to find sites worth returning to, so 9rules brings together the very best of the independent web all under one roof.
