30 + beautifully illustrated & grungy websites

Shiny and glossy web 2.0 design elements are now officially out. Grungy backgrounds, illustrations, textures, scanned papers, stacked cutout pictures are back into the scene... Although catchy and really beautiful, at a first glance; i do think that overdoing it may render the site heavy to load and harder to read. WHAT DO YOU THINK? ... Post your comments below.

very inspiring!
usually im not a huge fan of "grungy backgrounds" bcoz most of the time this style is a little bit bulky, but these visuals are great!

Very sexy but I am not entirely sure of where I am meant to be looking/ going on some of them. The user experience is a bit of a mixed bag.

Actually there are 2 magazines that can also help the visitors to explore : Computer Arts & her sister artsprojects .

These are beautiful! This is what I want my site to look like - the problem is, I'm not much of a web developer/coder at all. I'm an illustrator and designer - but just the front end stuff. What would I need to do to be able to crank out this level of technology (I'm plenty creative, and could design it... just not build it).

thanks for any help or advice people might have.

It is interesting to learn some facts. I am trying to get some qualified information about how to make websites profitable and some 347.000 websites pop up on Google. How difficult it must be to get a ranking among the first 12. Being fairly new in this business area I have faced the fact that it takes a long time to get the basics into your bloodstream but it is highly interesting and I have learned more when visiting your site. I admire the frank way of “speaking” and I am also impressed by the presentation of facts, so a big hand from me.

The how to buy an essay service should utilize your premium writing for a future evolution, because students always seek the original essay of perfect quality.
