Designer's words:
Most of the site is hand coded, and took many many months to implement. It is the 7th revision of mixnmojo since it's creation in 1997, and without a doubt the finest one.

The coding was all done by DJG, and the visual part was done by myself and Jake.

Our comments:
If you are a LucasArts fan, you probably already know Mixnmojo aka The International House of Mojo aka the mysterical aroma of voodoo captured in a delightful potpourri aka ... well you get it. This seventh version of the design is better, and more refined than its predecessors, and the purple-orange color scheme finally looks right, not to mention it also looks beautiful. The cute hand-drawn icons displayed with news entries are instrumental in setting the identity of the site as well.

dotajames (2) - Aug 28th, 2005 Presentation  9 Graphics  9 Usability  8 Technical  8 Personal Slant  9 Overall 8.6 Great design! The colour scheme works well, and was a good choice. The curved borders at the top look really neat, and the information is displayed very clearly. Fred (158) - May 14th, 2001 Very colorful design scheme, along with the design itself. Looks quite good. The design is small, but it's very organized. Could use a bit less text news to make it not as long. scabb (4) - Apr 27th, 2001 The International House Of Mojo took a long time to get its new look, with countless server failures and a long mojoless few weeks, but when it came back, everyone loved it. Everyone. There is even a "mojo community" - not spawned from The International House Of Mojo, but due to the immense popularity of the site, the name has stuck. The Forums on Mojo are blazing, the chat room started up by Skyfox (The Scumm Bar) has become filled with regular IRCers (more info), and the number of hosted sites is increasing. This, is the greatest thing about Mojo. It hosts all the greatest LEC related sites, and even breaks off into other entire networks of adventure related sites, such as THE source for amateour game creators - Adventure Developer. I know that sites such as "The Scumm Bar" and the now extinct "Booty Island" helped make mojo, but this site really has done a lot for the web, and has brought together lucas arts fans, sometimes in relationships too (emma & telarium). The coding is obviously excellently done, the graphics are obviously excellently done, and Spaff is dedicated at everything, in particular providing us all with the BEST LEC news. Oh, one more thing: _emma_ r00lz
