Consider how they could be inspirational in creating your own website. 

You can be inspirational when creating a website when you take your personal preferences to your picture and style.

What do you like about the examples? 

I like how the websites have all there own creative differences, and not all of them are or look the same. the websites have there own individuality. 

How can the design relate to one or more of the three design principles listed above?

Graphic Design - the layout was very easy to follow and had amazing graphics.
Interface Design - the navigation menu was easy to navigate. 
Information Design - all the information is organized throughout the page.
