Contest Time!

It’s time to redesign this site. I know that, you know that, even the little baby Jeebus knows that. The question is, what should the new design be?

Everyone on this little green and blue ball is some sort of art critic or design expert (just ask them!), so now is the time to suggest a new design for the new year of Monsieur Jaunty.

Send your best effort to the mail link in the bar on the right in any format you see fit (I can read nearly all of them, including MacPaint, Atari, Amiga graphics, even Windows!). I’ll post them all, select the one I like the best, and send the winner of the design contest a neat prize of my selection from the 1912 House™ Prize Attic worth not less than twenty five dollars (American).

Here are the rules: The text must be readable. If you pick a gooney display font, please tell its name, or send me the font itself so I can reconstruct your masterwork to fit here. Also be aware that not everyone can display the same font in their browser, so body copy fonts should be the standard-issue serif and sans-serif styles like Ariel, Verdana, and like that. Go nuts with the colors, have a field day with the layout, the styles, the feel. You get the picture. All I ask is that you give me room to maintain the links, archives, and the shameless plugs (for myself at bobtherieau.com, as well as the pitybox for amazon.com, and the San Diego Bloggers link).

Of course if you break all of those rules, I must still consider your entry, and if you break them in a very compelling way, I must consider you the winner. So I guess the rules are merely guidelines, eh?

I’d like to have the redesign up before the end of January, so I’d appreciate entries well before then.

Yes, this is fun.
