Forum Skin Contest
« Thread Started on Feb 19, 2007, 3:27pm »

As you probably know, the layout for a forum is called a "skin."

In this challenge, you will be designing a skin for this message board!

There is only one rule:
Be appropriate.

Be creative as you want! The basics for the skin include a heading banner (it would replace the text "Ballistic Blends" at the top of the forum by your messages) and a background.

If you really want to go all out, practically every image you see on the forum can be replaced with something else, so you can make new smilies, dividers, etc.!

1st place will almost positively be put up along with any others I deam worthy, though 1st place will be the default skin (to change the skin you modify your profile settings).

Will close after at least 3 entries (preferably five or more).

Any questions? Let me know.

*raises hand* I'll enter!

It might take a while though, I'm a bit busy.

I might make more images (for the buttons and stuff) later, but here's the header and background. I went ahead and made the new forum/thread and old forum/thread images...I hope you like 30 seconds to mars enough to have a 30stm layout.

Did you want me to do the colors as well?

Wow, you make me so jealous. Yeah, you can do colors, as much as you want.

I'll have to close this, due to the lack of entries. I'm sorry for the time you put into your graphics. They are very very nice. I don't think I'll end up using them now though. I'll probably just change the skin to match the main layout each time.
