Working on some possible designs for the new homepage on elementaryos.org

Not actually a real Joey Sneddon quote.

Hey, I apologize for this might sound like an angry rant, but why does almost all of your designs look like they are heavily inspired from OS X ? I am totally unaware about the context here, but I feel that it would be great if Element and other user interfaces that you design will get a different look than the contemporary Mac OS X cement look. As a solution, may I suggest looking into older user interfaces ? Like that of Mac OS 9 and then revamping it to meet the current requirements ? In any case, getting similar to OS X makes Element lose it's visual identity. No two persons are alike, so why should 2 OSes be :) ?

I had the misfortune of using MacOSX Lion only yesterday, elementaryOS has its own distinct look and feel, separate from MacOSX. I can think of 2 people that look and behave very much alike, but I love them both for their own individual quirks and personalities despite their similarities.

I agree but if eOS want to be a strong alternative to Mac OSX, it's usual to begin by inspiring of it.

Is it such a good idea to mimic interface elements like the buttons and entries on the website?

Why would it be a bad idea to have a consistent visual style?

I like that you guys take your website design seriously. I used to be quite into KDE 4 some time ago since GNOME 2 and the other options felt too old-school for me (I figured anti-aliased windows and menus were necessary, just to prove a point). I've definitely grown out of that now- eOS and the site make KDE's site look like a joke. It feels like they only had a few good designers for the icon theme and widget theme and left the rest to fate.

As they say, you can put a ring on a monkey, but it's still a monkey. Keep up the good work, it's certainly paying off.
