    Yeah, so I'm entering a 'Design a Website' competition ran by my county council. I'm in the Year 7-9 Catergory. No doubt my catergory will be filled with over-confident people making a big ugly brown thing and filling it with jokes regarding Poo. Nicee..? Well yeah. I need insperation and ideas. It's obviously aimed at kids my age, and it's got to be 'fun', and 'exciting'. Well, I'm thinking of something random, but not too cliched. In theory, this should be a piece of cake seeing as I have done like countless amounts of those Neopets Graphic sites, but I'm having trouble thinking of something ultra creative.

    I will +rep people who offer awesome help/ideas/concepts/whatever.

    Do a horizontal site.
    It's unique and will impress.
    Don't do minimalist as no one appreciates these truly

    No jokes. What about a website on sports? But for kids. Make it interactive, java and flash clicking, etc.

    I was thinking to do something like 'Send a Bear' where you like send a bear with a background of a famous landmark in your country to someone else or something like that ;p But it sound kind of naff and I'm not able to code that kind of stuff :/

    I gotta disagree and say that minimalist is the way to go
    Shades of gray (horizontal stripes still good!)
    And boxes with black borders

    Judges don't appreciate minimalists designs unless they are real designers, even so you must pull it off expertly

    Haha yup.
    And tbh, I'm not a big fan of minimalist. It's ugly, and it doesn't show off your skillz ;p
    Which reminds me, I have yet to start on this ;o
