I'm not a fan of busy or over complicated designs because they can be really distracting or confusing to the eye.

I actually like simplicity in design, but I only tend to think it works a small % of the time. Often you end up with a lot of nothing to talk abut because when it fails (and most of the time it will), you end up with nothing to talk about for the reason of it being so simple.

This is why "one colour backgrounds" can fail badly.
