The fading of the background image into a single colour is also reminiscent of digital mash but I think the guy has taken it as inspiration and changed it enough to have this design called his own.
I like it, it’s an interesting background image but the continuity is slightly off. Why use handwritten text for some headers? And only once on a page? Should have just kept to the standard text and it would have flowed somewhat better in my (humble) opinion!

it is dumb to say the navigation is “from” f-i.com. It’s is a vertical navigation to the left of the header. It has its own alignment, spacing, font, colors, rollovers etc. How can it be “from”?
Did f-i.com create the first vertical navigation to the left of the header?
I think the designer chose a decent navigation to fit the style of the page.
I DO think it is inspired by digital mash but its no way a “copy of”. Even the header has its own style and isn’t “from digitalmash”.
Hello everybody.
I first must say that I´m extremelly proud to get featured in this gallery, which is in my opinion one pf the best online today.
To answer some of the speculations here I must say yes, I am very much inspired by digitalmash, rob is absolutelly one of my favorite designers. In my opinion it´s mostly typographical and maybe the background color that resembles most, but sh%&# man, what are you gonna do.
The f-i navigation thing is far out to me, but another fantastic studio, one of my favorite. But they didnt to my knowledge invent the sidebar navigation, that´s more of a wordpress thing
Gosh man, I´m just so proud
This has really inspired me to keep pushing the site forward.
gummisig keeps pushing the envelope. We have worked together and I must say the design resembles gummisig more than any other designer. Why? It embraces good practice on the web. It’s clear, easy to navigate, presents obvious links and scannable content.
But this is a designer forum so I guess you couldn’t care less.
Omg…always fun to read.
what envious little bitches you are.
Great site man, keep it up.
And yeah! actually better than digital Mash…and nothing like it.
it looks nice.. I liked it.. keep it up.. at least you didn’t make a website that looks like digital mash but looks bad.. though I don’t see much similarity…

Reminds me of http://digitalmash.com/
@author: why? because he’s using a popular and trendy style of line-weight contrast? this doesn’t look a thing like digitalmash.

First thing I thought of was DigitalMash as well. That said, this is still very nice.
Yea looks like it has been heavily inspired by digitalmash, if only that. Not particularly original.
Is very cool.. I like this site! If you have 22′ or higher is better! Nice!!!
background fantastic..

Namaste
gummisig
I actually think it looks better than both those sites.

Keep up the good work!
nice stuff.. i think sIFR is wots missing for me.
great otherwise, keep it up
digital mash clone!
Nice looking and combining using real 2.0 elements!
Guys,
gummisig site is NOT like digital mash. Give it a rest. Black type / grey gradient… not even the same hues.
I checked most of the commenters links.. and what do you know.. not much there.
Critics without work… is like the gym teacher who never made it as an athlete.
Omg…always fun to read.
what envious little bitches you are.
Great site man, keep it up.

Well but usually when some sites are inspiring THAT MUCH they add those sites to the footer. It just happens to be a good habit.
It’s an interesting site. I’ve seen sites a lot like this lately though.
it looks nice.. I liked it.. keep it up.. at least you didn’t make a website that looks like digital mash but looks bad.. though I don’t see much similarity…
Great work Gummy! Keep it up mate… your site always stands out when I’m looking through the gallery
