This is the sort of "design" you do when you can't think of anything.

"Crap... artist's block... i'll just do a desktop site..."

If you're talking about originality, I don't think a layout is something to beat someone up about - especially with the limitations of the web. A few great designers break the mould every decade or so,and inspire a movement. Using a desktop backdrop isn't original, but it is a bit different and it works, and it's a lot better than silasklein site.

Rip off? Maybe. Cliché? Positively. Lame? Definitely.

see any difference = see any similarity

Way to go and write the complete opposite thing of what you meant, Shaun.

Analeis, I don't see any difference whatsoever except for that both designs incorporate desktop elements and, I dunno, the color brown? That's where the similarities end.

It's like saying the Washington Post ripped off the New York Times for using columns in its newspaper.

Yeah, no difference at all there is there Analeis? There are plenty of desktop look websites but this is the best because it keeps it simple.

You ripped this site http://www.silasklein.com/
