So What is This About?
There is clearly a need for CSS to be taken seriously by graphic artists. The Zen Garden aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation. To begin, view some of the existing designs in the list. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into this very page. The code remains the same, the only thing that has changed is the external .css file. Yes, really.
CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of those able to create beauty from structure. To date, most examples of neat tricks and hacks have been demonstrated by structurists and coders. Designers have yet to make their mark. This needs to change.

While not strictly a artistic or that much of a creative project but more a test of my web/design skills. I’ve made a go of the old Css Zen project with an aim of a fully working one page website that has full cross browser rendering, semantic code and does not rely on any browser sniffing/tricks.
I’ve checked it in ie 6, 7,8, 9, FF 3.6, FF 4 Safari 3 and Chrome and there are no huge differences. So I feel this is pretty successful and I’m quite fond of the Eastern imagery.
