[texhax] using \maketitle for fancy titles

[Shelagh Manton]

I am trying to produce a leaflet (using leaflet package) and I wanted to
have the first page as a title page but with a fancy title. I thought I
would struggle through the colortbl package to make a colourful box to
enclose my title in. However before I started I was wondering if this is
the best way. Or to put it another way, can \maketitle handle complex
tabular macros or would it just choke? I managed a rotate environment but
y initial experiments with colortbl seem dodgy. (but of course that could
just be my poor coding) Has anyone had experience with this before?
