Oooh, That's Clever! (Unnatural Experiments in Web Design)

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Paul Annett, Clearleft
Description:
Find inspiration in the ridiculous. See technological quirks as opportunities. Try something previously unheard of with your site design. Laugh in the face of convention. Use and abuse CSS in ways never before imagined. Get away with it. And if it doesn't work, try something else instead.
