Contest: Design IPB Skins, Prove Your Worth - All graphics designers out there

miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG
Hi guys,
    [/tab]Recently a whole bunch of requests have poured in, to design a new IPB Skin specifically customized for our board. There seems to be no derth of good graphics designers on our board - so why don't you go ahead and boast your skills in this regard?

[tab]Here I am providing you (see attachment) the IPB Graphics Development Kit - which is basically a photoshop file containing all the standard IPB Buttons, Headers, Logos etc. in a proper editable layered format. Enough to get you started on a new design set and to give you ample idea about the required dimensions of each graphics.

    [/tab]So why don't you go ahead and show what you've got ?? We're anxiously waiting to applaud at some brilliant new designs. Simply let your imagination fly wink.gif

[tab]As a footnote, I've got a whole bunch of piled up credits (nearing 800) and am willing to part with some, if your design is really brilliant and unanymously voted for by the whole moderating team. I'll talk to OpaQue and see if it's possible to transfer credits from me yet. In any case, you've got:
  • The chance to win 60 credits from me - that'll take care of 2 months of posting needs for you.
  • The chance to showcase your creation as a skin on our beloved board.
    Are you up to it ?

All the best smile.gif

OOPsss .. sorry, my bad. The Announcement Forum doesn't support attachments - so when I moved the post there, the attachment got deleted. So I'm putting it back in Graphics Design forum and re-attaching the file.

Have fun smile.gif

Oki Doke, I got it. Thanks, hope you can see the results soon smile.gif although it won't be very interesting, not my part at least.

Come on guys - so little response ? I was hoping for far more. The stage is set - and you're getting 2 months of free credits... plus the other perks as mentioned above. Still not motivated enough ?? Awaiting a more decent response tongue.gif

I would love to join the contest (and win biggrin.gif )since I can use the credits very well, but I got an problem. I have a quite old very of photoshop and every time I try to load the PSD file it says that the files has to many layers to load it.
Is there a version with less layers? Or do you guys know where I can get an newer version of Photoshop?

Thanks in advance,

so is there any limitations on colors or anything....like i understand that you wouldnt want any obscene graphics being used (such as nudity - althought that could turn out pretty good tongue.gif) but i mean like...any design...and are you guys actually going to use these ? or is this just for fun and possibly an estimate of what you guys would update them to ?

No dude - am serious about this.. If you guys can come up with some real funky cool space age skin and yet keep each individual picture size small (increasing overall page load time) - we'll surely use it. But all the modding you do should be thematic.. everything should blend in together really well.

Also for fun - and the credits tongue.gif I've been piling up more & more.. wink.gif

Warbird, use a tryout of Photoshop CS2. Or, you could try GIMP.

I am contemplating on designing something, but with four projects already under my belt, I'm gonna have to deny this one. Such a shame that my <caugh>crap</caugh> wont go to use.

Anyway, I suggest that you leave it to the community to decide which one they would like to see, perhaps a poll.

Hey guys (and gals)

I've decided to start my own entry for this.

Yesterday, I was hunting for the logo, stupid me never thought to take the vector logo from the flash animation on the home page of asta. So for those who want it for their own developments, below is a very accurate cut-out of what the original logo was.

And below is my (partially completed) preview of what my skin is going to look like.

You're off to a good start... I can't wait to see it when it's finished... but anyway... maybe I'll still make another re-submission, with new skin smile.gif

Yes the only thing i did change was the colour the asta name and the logo changes it did take about 45 mins to an hour which i said in my original post, and again i didnt want to put too much work into it without getting a much clearer direction on what the board is looking for. And all i know now is to make sure that we can read the text, its not a green and do more than just change the logo and skin colours....still not a whole lot to work with.
