Web Design: Inspiration - Design Observer has a new look

The Design Observer has recently been redesigned (in fact a lot of re-designing seems to be happening around the web at the moment). The new design is simple and elegant.

On the new design the editors say:

"We've stuck with this design for over two years, despite many complaints that we were 1) not being designers, and 2) that reversed-out type is difficult to read. However, when we started, we were determined to focus on the content first, and the form second, and this default template has served us well."

Very nice, it is too.
