Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stay-tuned-to-this-channel-for-more-details dept.

A few weeks back I announced that Slashdot was throwing open its design to the readers. An individual will win a Laptop, and hopefully we'll all win a Slashdot design that looks good. My Journal Entries have chronicled dozens of entries since the contest began, commenting on many of them. Today I share with you 3 of my favorites. These aren't necessarily "Finalists" but I think these are some of the strongest entries. First up is Michael Johnson's design, second is Jason Porritt's entry, and third is a design from Peter Lada. The contest will end around the middle of next week. Entries can be sent to redesign at CmdrTaco.net. Read my journal for extensive commentary on the many entries, to see what stuff has been working and what stuff hasn't.

    Good idea Jason Porritt: host the new slashdot CSS in your home PC with dynamic DNS. Seconds to be slashdotted!!

    Which I gotta put on you, Taco. When clients do that to me (I am a graphic designer by trade), I know what I am getting into, which is a client who has nonsensical, nostalgic attachment to elements that simply do not work. That stuff doesn't typically end up in my portfolio.
    In other words, what ends up in your portfolio is what feeds your (very obviously) outsized ego - and not what actually satisfied the customers.

    And the artistes wonder why everyone is so down on them.
