rants and ramblings - an XHTML 1.1 weblog

This is your chance to win:

• Free hosting for 1 year
  • 500MB, with full cPanel controls

I have not redesigned this site for the past 2 years. It’s time to do so now! I haven’t decided on a layout or color scheme yet, but am open to suggestions. Your task is to create custom images for the site - with colors that you select. I will match the sites design to those colors on the winning images.

For your chance to win 500MB free hosting for 1 year, here are the rules:

• Create site logo
• Create header text as images (cool font)
• Create misc. images for “eye candy” on site

The color scheme is totally up to you! Feel creative!!! The only condition as far as images/colors go is the designs MUST be highly professional in looks. Colors must be easy on the eyes.

The site in question is niched around Web Standards, so all colors must pass accessibility tests for color blindness and such. You needn’t worry about SEO issues, such as using images for text, as I will use standards-compliant image replacement techniques.

This is a graphics design contest. Please note images currently on the site. Their placements, size, etc. will be a good “guide” for you. Please comment on this post if you are interested. Start and finish dates will be
announced soon.

I just may create a poll for users to vote on the designs, and have them posted here for your review.
