How to spot quality within web design

While perusing my popurls page today I stumbled upon this little gem of an article. As I'm about to embark on the redesign of the OfficeTime website I've been searching for inspiration as well as researching the latest design patterns and conventions. Touching on everything from 1px highlights and drop shadows to current trends in typography and spacing this article has given me plenty to think about. 13 April 2009
