April 2006. Dan’s first entry into The Style Contest was Trail Mix. Trail Mix offers up some fun design elements with a zip-lock bag top, a few hand-drawn elements, and — most importantly — the duct tape title.

How did we leave our mark?
The duct tape title was initially put together in Photoshop, and pieces were supplied in the style download for you to make your own title — but only if you also had Photoshop. Dan rectified this by writing a fun tool: the Duct Tape Title Generator, which allows you to type the title of your site and returns a complete duct tape title, ready to drop into the Trail Mix style. The result is a uniquely-customized style for your site without needing the knowledge or tools to create the art.
