Excerpt: Every morning before I start my workday, I go through all of my RSS feeds and read latest industry news, business news, and review CSS showcase websites to keep up to date with the latest web and graphic design trends. At the moment, I currently have 63 RSS feeds that I go through, forty of those are CSS showcase websites. Yes, its a little time consuming going through all of these feeds, but its worth it because it keeps me in the loop. I have to say, there are some very talented designers out there. I have come across some engaging websites, beautiful graphic design and awesome design effects lately. So I am going to share a list of a few of my favorite websites in a series categorized by color… lets start with my favorite color, purple! Hope you enjoy! Design Phunk – This website is a very simple and clean website that still catches the eye. I really like the background and the transparency effect on the description and on the bottom of the page. I am not too crazy about the logo font, but the rest of the website is beautifully done. Very simple without any major distractions. Camp Creative Group – This is one of my favorites. The design is beautiful. The layout is excellent. Love the font choice. The design is amazing. They have it going on and they know it. Middle East Petrotech 2010 – It was the colors in this website that grabbed my attention. Yet, another clean layout. Not too distracting. Loves it. Miss Aerobik – I find the colors used in this website to be very feminine. I am sure that was the direction the designer was trying to go. And that is why it attracted my attention. Very pretty. MyGoLocker.com – I have always been drawn to bright, vibrant color, like in this website. The bright purple with a splash of contrasting green really makes the colors of this website stand out. I find that designers who use bold colors together, such as pure blue and pure red, usually cheapen the look of the website. I think that its best to use more calmed down tones and shades when trying to put pure colors together. But this designer pulled it off very well. I also like how the designer used the sun burst rays to draw the veiwers attention right to the center of the website, where the information is. Lisa Moseley – Love this website. The colors are beautiful and the layout works so well. Very simple, one page website. Everything is right there. Looking through her portfolio, she is an excellent web designer as well. Cat Club – The header and navigation bar of this website is very nice. I really dig the transparent hover navigation buttons. 365 Days of Astronomy – Two things I really like about…
