    I just came across the comic 'how a webdesign goes straight to hell' in some threads :eek: So thought would also post this comic from theoatmeal

    8 websites you need to stop building

    I guess many of us designers at some point of time would have been approached by people like the 'the next facebook' guy in the comic ;) btw 5th one is my favourite. also tell what is your fav.

    Hehe, I can identify with those. Especially the facebook clone, and the web 2.0 one. The thing is, if it's what the client wants, you don't really have much choice :(

    Most of those websites would require a lot of knowledge or startup money to work anyway.

    The 5th one is my favourite too, although I'm now a good designer. Anyways I like to create clones of famous and big webistes, because I find it as a bit of a challenge :)

    So the 3rd one that says not to create clones of sites I ignore without hesitation.

    That is hilarious! I liked the "How a web design goes straight to hell" it's oh so familiar when dealing with egotistical clients.
