Ok, sorry if this seemed rude, it wasn't what I meant to say, but bad day and such, so I apologize if I offended someone. What I was meaning was:

clichés can be good or bad, for them to be good takes tremendous work, or a great deal of luck. It's important when working with webdesign to be aware of current trends, what is overused and what is new. The web 2.0-look (and especially the iTunes-reflection) has sadly been beaten to death and kicked several million times now, which is very important to be aware of. It meens that working with too many gradients, orbs, dropshadows and the before-mentioned reflection-look has the potential to drop your page from good to average. And on the internet, bad is better than average!

My suggestion is to think Strip, not Clothe. Think about your effects, what to they do? Do the dropshadow add to the feeling, or distract. It's not always a good idea to make everything float around. Sometimes it is, sometimes not, judge for yourself
