Mimic. If you ever wondered; did bluemonkay design this site, the answer is not really.
I took from the web design catwalk and mimicked a design I really loved. It was very different to just about all sites I’ve come across.
Of course liking a site is one thing, getting it to work is quite another.
I’m now running textpattern plugin overload to make it work like the mimicked site.
Some people may call this design theft, I say if the fashion catwalk crowd can put up with it, then web world must be able to as well.
