Personally, this style of design really floats my boat, but even if this site isn't your cup of tea, there's no disputing its sound execution of design and ideas that just 'work'.
Check out the artwork and photos as well - proper creative stuff.

As far as the black bar goes, initially that top photo was going to be a placeholder for something else but it grew on me. The reason for me blacking out the eyes is the photo itself... quite frankly, Eisenhower's eyes scares the hell out of me: http://www.americaslibrary.gov/aa/eisenhower/aa_eisenhower_subj_e.html

I wonder how long before this style becomes a little ubiquitous though.
Nice work Dave my man, nice work.
