I see a nice clock on the left!
And it says I have more time then last time ;)
Seriously though, that clock is really useful.
Oh crap, I just remember I still have a coding job to finish :(
thats one nice looking layout… too bad i can’t take part today.
My family just came into town, so it looks like I’m not going to get finished with my entry. It was really fun giving it a try. I will definitely do it again next time. This design was a little more complicated then the last one. I can’t wait to see how people handled it. There where a lot more design elements in it that were not as obviously converted to markup. It leaves more up to interpretation. It would be nice if you showed more than just the winning entry, looking at the different ways people went about it is where I feel the real learning takes place. See you next time.
I definitely agree with Jared to pick more cool things from other designs on how you can do this, and this etc.
A more complete table, with more notes would be great… but it costs a hell of a lost of time I think…
And indeed, there are some design elements that can not be translated into markup in an easy way. First I thought was that the design was not quite difficult, but I have to rethink that ;)
[…] finally finished with my cssoff entry. I worked on it from 1am till about 8am, and then a couple hours this afternoon ironing out browser […]
35 minutes left–phew! I missed this competition last time because I was out of the country, but I’m glad to have been able to take part this time around. Thanks for the fun challenge.
Thanks, guys.
