I absolutely love those designs! But let me ask an honest question. Look at the top sites on the internet, per traffic and revenue. Most(but not all) have nice designs but are visually simpler. Most of the time, if I see a super awesome design its immediately: A) An edge site(being personal, small community, niche audience) B) A commercial site trying to get the "hip young crowd". One of my top concerns when developing sites is the size of graphics. The bigger concern is the size and complication of javascript. Implementing sites like these would be fun, but what kind of overall download are we looking at for our users? How much does this affect our sales or ad click-thrus for our audience?
