TTL Needs a Makeover on January 19, 2008 @ 7:11 pm

What is involved:
We want you to submit a layout for the Senior Staff that is currently set up on a host (their own domain or free service). The entry should include styling as the layout would appear if on the Network.

Entrants must keep the current content of the main page intact. Styling may be changed (i.e., if you can find a better way to do the menu, you can re-vamp it).

Things to keep in mind:
- The layout needs to work for everyone - don’t create a layout that will look fantastic in 800×600 resolution, but horrible on anything else.
- The layout must be cross-browser compatible and preferably XHTML and CSS valid. If you are unsure how to make your layout compliant with these particular guidelines, please feel free to ask for help on the forums.
- Keep the color-scheme viewable!
- Be careful of using fandom images - this is going to be the primary TTL layout, it needs to cover lots of different interests. (If you do use fandom images, then please either make it a multi-fandom layout OR make multiple layouts to be used as skins.)
- If you want, you can also create a header image for the message board (which we will update to suit the colors of the main site) and link buttons for the Network.

Dates:
The competition is open until the 1st of February. Once entries are closed, the Senior Staff will go through the entries and select a short-list that will be put to a public poll.
If the votes are close, we may decide to skin the site with several winners.
Winners should be announced in February, along with TTL’s new look! Smiley

Submitting your design:
Entrants should e-mail the Senior Staff (janet@celestialmb.org) with the following:

Name
Contact E-mail
Domain/Collective URL
URL to the Entry URL
And any comments/information they wish to provide about their entry.

Entries MUST be received by the 1st of February. Late entries will not be accepted.

For the Winners:
We will advertise your site for 6 months on the site.
