The Design Element

Atypical layouts is one of the more exiting topics to look at. Inspiration comes in many forms, but for me one of the most useful is viewing work which clearly breaks the norms. Sites which present content in unique and often unlikely formats. You won't find any standard layouts here. What is really cool is how easy to use most of them are. A few of them are a bit tougher, but for the most part the layout is intuitive, despite its atypical nature.

I personally really enjoy seeing good atypical layouts; they inherently feel fresher than other standard site. From a usability standpoint or when you just want to get your info and get out, do you feel this type of design is a detriment, it kind of seems that way to me?
