Design

Vivisect

This was the first 'design' site that I ever encountered, and it continues to be a favourite of mine as it continues to evolve. Note the simplicity.

Dreamline

Another site by Scott Herman of Erasing, it features the artwork of that most stunning of artists, Dave McKean.

K10K

The legendary "Designer's Lunchbox" is down for the summer, but look to see it back again this coming fall, for all your soopafamous link needs.

Praystation

I wasn't sure whether to list Josh's site here or under people, but I put it here, as it is less about him than about pushing the boundaries of design.

Once-Upon-A-Forest

The Forest is... breathtaking.

A List Apart

ALA is a must-read for all those interested in web-design. Published weekly by Jeffrey Zeldman, it covers all topics related to the industry.

The Web Standards Project

Support standards! Make the web better for everyone!

Surfstation

Ok, I rarely go there because they serve more or less the same purpose as K10K, but it has some of the slickest design on the web.

Design Is Kinky

A design portal/'zine, DiK features a great collection of designer mugshots.

Cubano

Cubano does some slick Flash work without breaking the pipes.
