anderskorte -> RE: Layout selectors / inspiration? (9/11/2006 4:08:27)

For layout inspirations, I often look at crazy sites like this.
W3C Sites is nice, but many of those sites have the problem that the example sites have been selected only because 1) they comply to the standards and 2) they simply “look good”. The meaning and client's wishes gets lost somewhere in the process when I look at nicely decorated sites. The outcome is then nothing more than a decorated and bland presentation. It's nice though, decoration is also very important.
I don't know if there are such things as layout generators or website layout selectors. It's pretty hard to build that kind of software.
There are methods for layout design in the print design world, but websites are always a chapter of their own.
I find layout design the most difficult task. How to come up with the right layout with the right amount of dynamism? After all, I'm someone with no design education or background. Still I'm interested in catching the viewer's attention and creating a good eye flow, that's what I get paid for.
