32 Lightweight Designs

Once again, I’ve been skimming through the design galleries and looking through notes and bookmarks in search of noteworthy designs. This time around, I’ve put together a collection of light designs. While more graphic-heavy designs may look great, simplicity and whitespace can go a long way as well.

Without further ado, 32 Lightweight Designs:

    I am currently designing a site for my new design business, Solid Stuff. I have done some graphically saturated work in the past, light is definitely the direction I want to go with this one. Light is the new dark!

    Great collection of light weight design examples. I’m not certain everyone appreciates the effort involved in pulling together such a collection, but I do.  Thanks

    I am redesigning my site right now, and this list has helped me narrow down some of the requirements of the new design.Thanks for the resource.

    @Imar, @Sean, Glad you enjoyed the post.

    @Bret, Yeah it does take a bit of time and effort to put together posts like this. It’s enjoyable work though.

    @Deniz, You have no idea how often I mistype that… I always try putting the extra “t” in. Just fixed it. :D

    Hmmm, I guess I was wrong. Dark is still the new dark! http://www.solidstuff.co.za

    @Imar, I reject your reality and substitute my own (as Mythbuster Adam Savage would say). Light is the new dark. I would prefer to avoid needing glasses, thank you. :D
