Man, if it were the early 2000's, I could give you a seemingly endless list of sites. There was a a network of sites like designiskinky, k10k, praystation, and many others that existed to curate, and showcase interesting websites. A lot of that creativity was due to graphic designers learning Flash, and putting up their experiments. A really interesting period of time.

Sadly, I don't really know of anything like that anymore. I'll run across a random Tumblr from time to time. Or, strike gold with a random Pintrest list. But, it's nothing like it used to be, in regards to out-of-the-box web design.




Yup the design scene around the turn of the century was a magical time. Really happy to have been a part of it. Wish it still existed but we went from being punk 20 year olds trying to prove ourselves to middle aged adults with families and careers. Not everything can last forever.


> k10k, praystation

Ah yeah that's a nice hit of nostalgia.

gmunk was a favorite of mine back then. Nice to see he's had a rad career: https://gmunk.com/


http://levitated.net comes to mind.

Looks like the site is still around, but with the awesome flash content replaced by pictures.


Yea that was an amazing time, there is a website that list a lot of those https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/category/Design%20&%...

I used to go on k10k and deskmod all the time back then!
