This is the design i submitted for `Kevin's Help Out Kevin the Code Monkey Contest held a while back.

It turned out to be the winning design and is currently being used at [link]
(at time of writing, `Kevin, the monkey, accidentally wiped his db :))

The contest called for a new design for `Kevin's blog. In keeping with the current trend, it had to be a validated XHTML/CSS design. I jumped at the chance to participate because i love making new shit and 90% of my job involves updating old shit. So it was a chance to flex my [obviously limp] creative muscle for the first time in ages :)

For the web geeks:
  • It uses image replacement for the menu buttons

  • Validates all round (or at least it did when i made it :))

  • Uses to an old style switcher from ALA to switch between colour themes

  • ems for text size ... text resizes gracefully

Props to:
  • `Kevin for the contest! I also stole some of his art for the header art.

  • =bydumbo for the fantastic monkey!

its beautiful. good use of colour, well layed out in a traditional and easy to use format. navigation is clear and concise - and gives good user feedback to where they are.

displays perfectly on safari 2.0 and ff mac.

also really like the tidy and ordered css files ;)

nice work, an easy winner
