Well, drat! :-)

Feel free to comment on period usage. I might not use
the advice, but I would enjoy hearing it. :-)

No, it doesn't. I just really like black, purple, and
gold (it's the colors that I buy all of my juggling
paraphernalia in), and I was trying to figure out a
way to have each colour represented with close to the
same amount of area.

I prefer large blocks of color, but I won't rule out
stripes.

I like complex lines. As long as it's something that I
can draw by myself (or with the help of rulers, french
curves, stencils, et. al.), I'm ok with it. :-)

I am more attached to the colors than the divisions.
Is my cause hopeless? :-)
