Hey,

I need a layout/skin for this forum and site im making. The skin needs to be able to be easily integrated with a regular site too (can be the same layout style for the regular site to.) The site is http://quadzero.com I have just installed phpbb, and will be customizing it soon. I want the design to be exciting, modern, yet inviting. Anyone who would be kind enough to make one just post here with a design. Who ever has there design picked, they will get 9 months of free advertising on the site, and will get the domain quad-tri.com for $1 if you dont want the domain you get 12 months free advertising (a $60 value) Please have it coded as well for phpbb.

Edit: forgot to mention this is going to be a music site. so make it sorta related to music (ipod like, guitar, something)
Thanks!
wozzym

hah its fine. its always good to learn. and the advertising could help you since its a music site wink.gif

Yeah sorry to get off topic, but maybe regardless of how this goes, we could come up with some sort of link exchange or something. Working on a logo now, gona pass it by the IRC guys tongue.gif cus I think it needs something more..


Edit: I'll go a head and post this. Let me know what you think. I really like the idea, but iono if my PS skills are good enough to pull it off. Here's my attempt.

^^A logo I guess, dono if you already have one or not
wozzym
wow thats cool. i like the text and stuff, and also the idea of the speaker as the o. I think that could go well with both dark and light color schemes as well. maybe make some sort of cool effect coming out of the speaker though, just a thought smile.gif

kk thanks wink.gif working on adding to it

kk thanks wink.gif working on adding to it

Edit: Here's an update,


Added some music notes, and a "stage" for the text to sit on. I tried adding speakers in the background, but it was to dark and distracting. I might try curtains or something, but that might just be to much.

Looks unprofessional, but good effort anyhow.

Kevin: If you can pull yourself away from the dark colours, you will do better. Nice effort anyhow. smile.gif

Yo wozzym, there's this 3D guitar-speaker set-up that I had built for my site. See if it's of any use to you. Here's the PNG [with transparency] image:

Sorry to get off topic wozzym, but machine that looks amazing! my only compliant is the guitar looks flat, maybe rounded the edges of the guitar will make it look more realistic. Because I've never picked up a guitar thats flat on both sides. But very nice!

There are actually guitars that are as thin as that. As a fellow guitarist, I tend to go to the musical instrument shop and look for ones I like. I saw 3 that were extremely thin. Technologies these days make the impossible possible.
wozzym
nice machine. smile.gif i bet i could put that somewhere on the radio page biggrin.gif

sorry again wozzym sad.gif

Ya there's guitars that are that thin, but I'm talking about the edges of the guitar, look how sharp they are, most guitars are rounded over for comfort and style.

No problems, wozzym smile.gif . All the best!

A hard-edged guitar for hard-edged music, eh KD? smile.gif Actually, I had originally intended to build one like this:



But it kept jabbing me ribs and after I ran out of antisceptic, I decided to build the more conventional, rounded-body guitar [posted above] instead wink.gif .

Is it a logo that you're looking for wozzym? If you are, then see if this is of any help.



As usual, this is a PNG image with transparency. If you want to add a touch of 'music' to it, you can simply copy-paste the guitar-speaker set-up [posted above] over this, scale it [the guitar-speaker thing] down and then see if the whole things looks okay... smile.gif

Alternatively, see if you like this version of the logo, with music-related patterns instead of the flat-shaded squares behind the letters Q,U,A and D:
