This post is one of our Achievements and contests topics. Hey! This thread is for the unofficial free-for-all contest, with few restrictions. But there is also an Official List Design Contest, which has more rules and categories and it is hosted in the official MAL Contests forum: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1628681 You can enter both, just keep in mind they have slightly different rules. New to CSS list design? Don't worry! You can start with my simple CSS tutorials to style your list layout. Not good at coding? We also provide premade layouts for you to use as a base and focus primarily on the image/color designs, rather than code. How to Enter  Post in this topic before September 1st, specifying which list design(s) you would like to enter: a) anime list; b) manga list; c) both list designs. You don't need to have your list design ready when you post! Until September 1st, you are free to modify your list design, or edit your post changing your registration. Make sure you read the rules and guidelines below, to ensure your list design qualifies for this contest. Rules and Guidelines 1. Each user can enter: * 1-2 list designs, using either their anime list, manga list, or both. * an additional 1-2 designs from an alternative account (optional); please let us know if you're using two accounts. * classic and modern styles are both allowed. 2. You can either code a layout from scratch, or you can use a pre-made list layout (a layout previously made by someone else that was donated to the club) as the base of your design. However, if you're using one of these premade layouts we offer in the club, you must change all images and the colour palette used on the layout; otherwise, your design may be disqualified. See rules 3 and 4 as well. 3. You can use a design you made before the contest, even if you enter it in other contests. 4. You cannot use a private layout that someone else has made as your entry or as the base of you entry; i.e. no stealing. 5. Your list designs must be available for public view by September 1st. If your list entry is still set to private on that date, it will be disqualified. Categories to Win By entering, you are eligible to win any (or even all) of these categories.

You COULD do an alternate version that removes the effect and I don't see how it wouldn't be minimalist atm |

| I'm entering both anime and manga list from my alternate profile. ♦ Preferred Resolution: 1920 x 1080. Can be viewed in lower resolutions too, but it's missing most of the extra content due to screen space. Lower resolution versions have different looking elements. ♦ Preferred Browser: Mozilla Firefox. Chrome is okay too, some minor differences. Not tested in other browsers, but please for the love of god, do not use Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge. Some info: Total Size of CSS: 369 KB Total Size of Images: 88.6 MB Total Number of Images: 382 Total Time Spent Making: Lowest estimate is about 350 hours. Features:
At some point in your life, you have surely heard the phrases “less is more” and “good things come in small packages”. This is not the case. An important part when one seeks to mold something into the shape of its’ “muse” is, I believe, to capture and conserve its’ essence: not only aesthetically, but on a deeper, more intrinsic level, through retaining themes and motifs or perhaps the skeleton of the muse’s structure itself. In visual arts of any kind, this would of course be accomplished by heavily relaying on shapes, colors, and layout work. This list style takes its’ inspiration from Steins;Gate, and it shows; not only stylistically, through the choice of elements based heavily on clockwork, but through the complexity of the layouting itself, which mirrors the series’ intricate plot construction. Packing a great deal of features and extra content, it relies on on-hover panels to better compartmentalize its’ features, thus retaining a sense of order amidst the carefully planned chaos of disjointed, retro-tech elements. ♦ Preferred Resolution: 1366 x 768. Nothing additional to be gained with higher resolutions since it was created for laptops. ♦ Preferred Browser: Mozilla Firefox. The row extension code does not work on any other browser including Chrome, so viewing the list in them is pointless. Features:
The soft blue glow of a clunky, heavy monitor; the scent of dust and heat exhaust; dial-up internet and its’ snail-paced connection. Crudely designed personal webpages, barebone and sparse or eclectically cluttered, but always making use of only basic RGB. A fond childhood memory for some, but a real source of fear for many others. For as long as man has been man, he has feared the unknown — variables are unknown and thus uncontrollable, which makes them dangerous. People’s fear of technological advancement has always birthed new genres across art platforms, from Orwell’s 1984 to Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange to works more recognizable as part of a technological-fallout narrative such as Gibson’s The Neuromancer, which kickstarted the cyberpunk genre’s ascension, shaping real-world terminology as it went. The idea of mental pollution to the point of one’s loss of a sense of “self” and the pervasive idea of assimilation paint the scene across many works now considered classics, and Lain is no exception. It is, in many ways, a horror flick; and yet the bleak visuals hold a strange attraction. This design allows you to take a trip down the memory lane and dip your feet in the Wired with its’ neat use of aesthetics — but can you be sure you’re on the outside looking in? |

| I'd glad to join but I don't know if I will be able to. |
| Well i might as well enter my current style as both a anime and a manga list. This style is a classic style minimalistic poster layout (i'm not sure if poster styles are ok for the minimalist category) Here is a picture of the list (i'm also using it if you want to check it out):  it's the same one i donated Here (i hope this is not a problem in regards to entering it in this contest :P) If anyone is interested in checking it out (and possibly making their own variant) |
| I'm already doing it. |

| I'd like to try my animelist |
  MODERS – JUMP ON THE BOTTLE!!! |
Takeshino said: By changing the colour palette he means that, if you use a premade layout as a base for your design, you have to change the majority of the colours. Like the list headers and such. Also no, there is no rule against non-anime themed pictures. I wanna enter my animelist. I don't exactly understand what you mean by changing the colour palette,so can you please give me an idea to what they exactly means? Also, the images don't have to be anime-related, do they? |
|
| entering with both my list. it's NSFW btw, the layout works best with this kind of list so, i hope its okay .-. |
| I wish to enter both my anime list and manga list. Any constructive criticism on my anime list would be appreciated. :3 Preferred viewing method (for both): Google Chrome at 1080p.   |
| Is there something missing in other browsers? If so I would say that is the first improvement point. There are extremely few cases where something is impossible to recreate in most of the popular browsers. |

Pico-tan said: Are you referring to my request for Google Chrome?Is there something missing in other browsers? If so I would say that is the first improvement point. There are extremely few cases where something is impossible to recreate in most of the popular browsers. I've tested on both Chrome and Firefox, so both themes should work on each equally. However, I find Firefox displeasing to look at due to the transition, transform and text rendering. So, while they should work in other browsers, I test on and run Chrome, making it a safer choice, along with subjectively looking better. |
| Calling past contest entrants! There's still a couple weeks to enter this contest. Keep in mind this is an unofficial free-for-all, so you can enter past list designs you've made. @Kiokuzoku @Bunnie @FromZeroToZero @nymphiae @dperolio @seaven @burntjelly @sylakentH @tsiox @d_cuy @u531355 @lycelra_ @al_exs @nadeko_ @kenet @LukeLC @cateinya @doomcat55 |
| Just crossed my fingers and signed up for the official contest. I'll enter my anime list here too as well, if submitting to both isn't a problem. I've still got a lot of work to do, and not much time to do it, but I've been sitting on this half-finished design for almost a year now, so it's time to get cracking! |
| edit: I'll enter with my manga list. Best viewed with Chrome (animations are smoother) but works fine with Firefox. Hint: do not just hover over things, click on them ;) |

Cateinya said: I'll enter with both lists, but I have no clue regarding which design I'll use. Hopefully I'll have some time to make a new one, but it will be quite hard to finish it in 10 days... I should have started working on it a lot sooner ^^" I'll probably hold another one in the winter during Christmas Break, so you can save for then if you don't have time. |
| I'll enter my anime list in this one. |
| enter with myanimelist (foreverwip) and if its possible ill also enter a classic layout from my alt https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Kioku-zoku |
