This is a great list of sites you have put together and very inspiring to me as a designer. I am always looking on how to improve my designs and love articles like this one because it shows me what can be created and how people are pushing their designs. I think all the sites in this list have great aspects to them. I really like iDesign site. I love the use of colour, texture and type within the site. It has a nice vintage feel and especially like the scrolling graphics at the top, gives the site a feeling of depth.
