I keep pointing to and referring this layout by the almighty Bryan Veloso from circa 2006. I remember it being an inspiration back then and has definitely left a mark amongst many of us... myself included. It still pops up every now and then in conversations with colleagues.
Now, this is problematic and it's bigger than might appear at first glance. The ephemerality of our medium is becoming more and more overbearing. I keep referring back to sites that have been redesigned, have moved or simply have ceased to exist.
Thankfully, there's Internet Archive... still, although their effort is amazing and definitely valued, it isn't 100% effective nor complete. Thus, I'll start archiving a few role models that have lead me along the path of this web industry of ours.
