This came up because I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out ways to graphically contribute here (other than my silly icons), so I posted the following Backstage and thought I would bring it up here as well to see what folks here in the Community thought of it:
QUOTE I am so ignorant when it comes to creating a layout. I almost feel that as the only HeadStaff that cannot do this, we should have some type of "Dancing with the Stars" type thing where someone takes a person that can't dance, well, in this case, do a layout, pair with them and at the end of the show they can do a killer layout! After a little encouragement, ranting continued: QUOTE Who knows though, it could be fun to see folks paired up with some of our infamous designers (such as Rachael, Carrie, Kristina (although I know she's very busy right now), Kathleen, Ryan, et al). Could even put up AIM transcriptions of the star designer trying to coach the learner on how to design (if so desired). Any thoughts? (Oh and sorry for pointing certain super designers out, I know there are more than those, but they are the first to came to mind that morning). |

How would we teach them? It's hard to do that remotely... and the programs have to be compatible.

How would we teach them? It's hard to do that remotely... and the programs have to be compatible. If this goes through, it'll have to be set up so that both in one pair have the same programs to work with. By teaching, I guess helping them come up with a central idea, colors, navigation, graphics, etc. And helping with the coding since the "stars" shouldn't be doing the work for them. I guess guide them by telling them where to find particular resources, and how/why to modify codes based on what they want to achieve.Is it a "choose your partner" thing or is it randomly chosen by the contest-holder? Hasn't been decided yet. Feel free to support whichever idea.
