CSS Zen Garden project

I have finished my csszengarden assignment and have submitted it to the site for acceptance/rejection. I had a lot of fun with this assignment but it was a bit frustrating as well. The formatting was my biggest issue but I feel that I've made some positive strides in that area. What I liked is that I went with a less "zen-like" design and went for the more "in-your-face" design. I used a graffiti theme and played around with different designs in that area. My first attempt was a brick wall with painted content, but the brick wall was too overwhelming. I then broke the wall into pieces and that worked much better visually. I adjusted images and such to keep them small and the page loads quickly. It also validates. This may have been the assignment that I feel I learned the most from, but it also made me realize how much I have to learn. There were some GREAT designs submitted in my class that shows even more clearly the power of understanding CSS as well as knowing how to apply it to make a page do exactly what you are looking for. We are now working on a group project that is targeted towards other AI students and then later can be used by the public at large, if they were so inclined. I'll be adding more on that once we have made additional progress.
