Leaves me guessing exactly what you are talking about. A blog about graphic examples might of been a good place to shine, if you think about it. Now I'm off to http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/dailysucker/ to look at some real ugly design. Oops looks like they don't have any graphics in their posts either(but there are plenty of links to click), Guess I'm just not in the mood for more blog reading this morning, it's saturday after all.

Its nice eye candy at times.

But the wet, reflective look you're talking about like anything in life, should only be used when it makes sense to do so. As designers we have a responsibility to design appropriately. you'd fast be tarred & feathered if you constantly did things just cause they were in. Use your head, keep up with trends, but only use them if they fit the overall picture.

If the site looks terrible then nobody will read it. If the site looks good but when you start to read the content you find it's lowsey you find something else. The wet floor look is a design related element and can help to entice the user to read that important content... Design and content, I believe, go hand in hand.

Good content will outshine any wet floor look. My audience doesn’t care about wet floors, they want good content. Good content will outshine any wet floor look.
