The three designs I chose to replicate were: Design a cool Photography Portfolio, Designing a Clean Photo Portfolio Site in Photoshop, and the Webstudio Layout Design.
The best thing about these designs are that they are free inspiration. Each one has the ability to be customized. Which in creating a website is very important. There also were 27 different ideas on that blog.
The bad part about the designs is that they are over used around the web. The first one I tried was because I have seen several sites with the exact same layout. Knowing that you can start with that base design and change it seems to be a problem for some people. They stick with the same colors and everything. Also each one that I did (and maybe it was just my choices) were very graphic heavy. That isn't good for a website. The idea for an efficient website is to create it with the least load on you server. These designs don't accommodate that.
Overall, I was very inspired by the different designs. I will probably incorporate these into some of my future web designs. I will just try to make them as good looking with less server calls.
