As you may notice, I am always trying to vary tutorial, resource and informational posts with inspirational ones. And you guessed it – here you have inspirational post featuring several very talented web designers from DeviantArt. All of these inspiring website examples are fresh and new, from this month so you can see current trends. I must be honest I really love all of these sites, I like current trending and research made me want to get my hands dirty with some new design too. Carefully watch every detail – some designs are very simple, but white space is used very efficiently, creating outcome to look really professional. I enjoyed every pixel in these designs and hopefully this article and talented works will make you inspired too!
Finally I know I’ve been promising my webdesign related tutorials, to come out soon – I am keeping you informed, new tutorials are in process! Enjoy what I have to offer you know! Cheers!
Author’s comment: “This layout started from sketch. I was drawing some things on the paper and then comes something identical to the result you can see here. It is a blog design with a different structure from my last wordpress themes.”
Author’s comment: “This was design done for a client who needed a new look for his portfolio of variant things such as web, photography, videos etc.”

Author’s comment: “Commercial template design. Full view is 75% of the actual design.”
Author’a comment: “Designed to be developed entirely in flash, which will be done over the next few months.”
Author’s comment: “Tried to use as little gradients as possible and only “pure” color squares on this one.”

I love them all! Especially TechLeef. You should consider the layout scheme that is only MyArtPlot – it is also pretty smooth and clean. Like DeviantArt, MyArtPlot is an art community. The other layout that you should include outside of DeviantArt is really Etsy they have a very clean beautiful looking scheme as well. Besides TechLeef I like number 36!

Excellent collection, I can’t beleive all the inspiration you can get here, and you can find even more if you take a look to some of the artist works.
Thanks, it comes in an excellent moment as I am redesigning my blog and portfolio

Well…
I wouldn’t pay TO MUCH attention to web design from deviantart. A lot of the web designs from deviantart are using copyrighted elements, and the designers don’t even own the rights. ( NOT ALL! but still a big number…)
Best example: 13. easo by osec
This design was changed 2-3 times because of several copyright problems and art theft. (read the comments of this deviation, some comments are even not display any longer cos the author is ashamed to show that he was caught)
You can read about it and the user “osec” in this journal post here:

Really great resource, designs are really very inspirational. The designers having a grate art the way they think use colors and all are really grate. Thanks atone.

Great inspiration, Some are really excellent like Snoba or smfyoo
Friday, August 28th, 2009 04:29
Really great inspirations out there! Great usage of colors and varieties of layouts! Breathtaking!
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 21:08
Xquisit. All of the designs are great, more than great. Here’s a question: In a bunch of great templates it’s hard to stand out from the rest. Now, without going back and taking a peak, which one did really get your attention?, or which one can you still remember?.
Be cool, eat right, excercise & take care of mother earth. Peace.

For me – I cannot pick one! But there is explanation for it – if you would see in this list a bunch of ugly designs and one or two beautiful – of course you will remember those two.
In this article every single design is beautiful creative piece, that’s the reason why you do not remember just one page – but remember several good separated accents.
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 08:19
There’s been some serious hard work put into all those by the designers
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 13:04
definitely agreed – also a bunch of fresh ideas in designs too!:)
