I think people will always react personally to bold colour and style -so your site gets a huge Yes from me! Being able to manipulate objects with surreal colours/shapes/backgrounds is great, and these suggested sites offer so much -thanks.

Hello Jai. Most wordpress themes these days are too restricted to the same bland old column by column format. Why not try something more in the lines of a magazine style theme. An example is Revolution Pro Theme .

Here is A handy list of Magazine style themes.

P.S: Magazine style themes are quite hard to come by on the web so might want to consider dominating that niche because it is the next thing in WordPress templating.

P.S.S: I use a modified version of one of your Wonderful themes for my website and it is simply amazing. Thanks a lot for all the hardwork.

Personally, I’m looking for the following in a site:
3 columns, availability to customize rotating header images, and of course all the other bells and whistles that I’m just learning about.

Would like it to have clean lines, neutral/natural colors, feel open and fresh, contemporary, and yet reflect environmentally-friendly and organic nature: clean and “green”. Design should convey a sense of trust in the content.

on the other hand – GRUNGE – is definitely the in design at the moment. I’m talking about dirty textures, hand drawn doodles, yellow scotch tape, coffee stains, paper clips, poloroid frames for pictures, torn paper, dog-eared paper…

check out this article from smashing magazine on grunge design: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/03/11/the-secrets-of-grunge-design/

http://www.zeldman.com/ love the colours and feel of this one, however three coloums is more useful (maybe you can turn off one colum if you want to).
