Submitting designs

• Have you tested in as many browsers as you can? Windows and Mac? (a good answer: yes)
• Can you scale your fonts up to 150% in Mozilla? (a good answer: yes)
• Do you get a horizontal scrollbar at 800x600? (a good answer: no)
• And I think we’ve had our fill of garden/asian imagery themes. Let’s go a bit further.
• And seriously. Enough with the intentional horizontal-scrollbar thing.

While none of the above points alone disqualifies a design, please try to address as many as possible before submitting.

As well, keep in mind that I have a purpose: the Zen Garden is about showcasing high–end CSS design. The cream of the crop will become official Garden designs, so treat this as you would any other portfolio piece.

Only official submissions will be added. If your design is borderline, but not quite there, I will take the time to send you a personal critique and make suggestions for how you can improve it. In both cases, personal communication is guaranteed.

Please don’t be offended if I don’t choose yours, as sometimes even very good design doesn't make it into the Zen Garden for one reason or another. Your hard work will not go to waste, though. The ‘comprehensive design list’ exists to showcase both official and unofficial Zen Garden designs alike, and your design will show up on it regardless. My turn-around time is a few weeks, but keep checking back periodically.
