The Design
The 2013 CSSOff contest design has been created by Sensei Dan Mall (@danielmall) this year’s design is not unlike last year’s where you will be tested beyond your limits. It should be a challenge like last year’s design from Paravel.

The design is a mistake – why U use blending modes for web design? How developer can cut for example barbie-photo or rain boots if they have white background and blending mode: ‘multiply’ makes them look good on the design?
Coding such a design is definitely not fun.
I was under the impression that all of the things you mention are precisely the point. “Can you take this horrific photoshop design, that was prepared with little or no thought about who would have to code it, and code it (responsively and responsibly) with just CSS?” — However, I have no idea how I’ll get through this without fittext.js …
Great!
I realize the contest is closed to new submissions, but why has the design disappeared?
Oh finally it come! Thank you so much that you have allowed the pro account facilities at free of cost.
It was really a great news. It was really beneficially for me.
Really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for sharing.
