Interesting redesign at msnbc.com
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37643077
Pretty bold move for a mainstream new source, in my opinion. First off, the entire article is one one page, as opposed to the multi-paging most news sites use to pump up page views. Big bold headlines, large line height for easy reading, tons of white space. Also, innovative navigation in the right margin, with the little icons that indicate where on...

Wu-Note Project
A great concept artfully executed: Wu-Tang albums covers re-envisioned in the style of old Blue Note jazz records. The designer, Logan Walters, also has a ton of great work at his personal website.
