Smashing Magazine: 40 Creative Design Layouts: Getting Out Of The Box

I'm currently trying to redesign a website that needs it: http://www.credentialsonline.com. The ideas I have right now just aren't very exciting and I want to not design it exactly like our corporate site, http://www.healthlinesystems.com, but do want to make them look like a "family".

So, of course, I turned to the web for inspiration.

In the showcase [on their website] we present 40 creative out-of-the-box layouts that break the boring 2- and 3-columned, boxed layouts. We have collected pure CSS -designs, CSS+JavaScript -layouts as well as Flash -designs. Most designs presented below risk their site structure and content presentation with unusual approaches. That’s what makes them different. Hopefully you will find some creative ideas that you can develop further in your future projects.

We strongly encourage designers to break out of the usual boxed layout conventions, experiment with new approaches and risk crazy ideas. Show what you are capable of!

What do you do to get inspired for web and/or print design?
