Looking to buy multiple WordPress Templates

Paying $30+ per design (depending on how much I like it :D )

Only needs to be in .psd format

Only colour restrictions are nothing plain (eg. faint pastel colours) or nothing dark (black backgrounds)

Please post your designs and I'll give you direction until I'm happy with it and we can arrange a price :)

What should the themes be? (are there any specific ones? Or do you want a pretty flexible generic template design that works?)

I'm interested in this contest ;)

I have a couple of themes.

However, I have a question as well - Will we be allowed to publish the completed theme for free ?

rochow
Mar 3rd 2007, 11:02 pm
Generic themes are best, though if any specifics relate it to furniture or interior decorating :)

I will get all the copyright... basically I am getting the .psd, then getting them coding, adding a "sponsored by my site" to the bottom, then distributing them for free.

Sounds good! I want to start this tomorrow for you ;)

Also a question: Any specific size you need for the templates?

This is the first time I have come online

I should have been more clear on what type of designs I like

One example is MooseMans (which I will buy, please PM me your paypal)... that clean web 2.0 look... there are some good ones:
http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/atomohost
http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/theacmegroup
http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/civilized (like the style, but not the colours so much)

Mar 6th 2007, 10:49 pm
Jinsona: No problem, thanks for posting them anyway!

Animator21: You're banned now anyway, so its all good lol

Delusion: I guess so I can get some revisions to get what I want more, and so everyone can see what it is I like/don't like. Besides, I made multiple threads there over the past month and got little response

Freaky_Sarvesh: Yes it's still going!

Tropica: The layout is nice. Can you change the colours so it's more smoother and web 2.0 like the examples I pointed out earlier somewhere :)

DaveyBoy: Pretty good. Can you make the "Home, Page 1" etc lowercase, and somehow divide them so they have there own separate "button" on the bar - similar to the way animator21 has it. Also can you make the left and right columns around 20 px wider. Thanks!

8everything: It's on its way there :) Can you move the little bar things to the right like Tropica has them. Make the left and right columns narrower. Make the grey in the columns lighter, but keep a darker outline... an effect like on www.hotscripts.com would be sweet ;) Also can you add a title, and the blogroll, headings and all the other example text so I can see what it looks like when its "complete"!

Mooseman: I will send payment later tonight

hi i have re-coloured the earlier entry:

http://www.eveharrison.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/template4.gif

and here is another idea, please note th text is larger than it would be, as its just serving as filler for the timebeing

http://www.eveharrison.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/template5.gif

and a colour variation

http://www.eveharrison.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/template6.gif

they can be altered if you need, feedback appreciated

http://www.eveharrison.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/template5.gif

they both can be altered if you need, feedback appreciated :)

Top one is looking good. Can you make the green a bit darker so it's not so bright. Also instead of the shadow can you try adding a box below it like DaveyBoy's. And please remove the rectangle around the body. Other than that it's great!

I like the layout of the second one. If you can make it a bit brighter and more web 2.0 rather than plain grey (maybe an effect like www.hotscripts.com or a nice gradient) I would like the background to be a very little grey :)

Hey Rochow, thats for the feedback, I find it greatly helps designers, it gives us more insight to the final product

Here are the amended ideas, you mentioned about green on the first one, i assumed you meant blue ;)

Mar 7th 2007, 5:51 am
Tropica:

Design 1: The header looks good when I just look at it. When I look at the whole thing, it just seems like its missing something. Maybe it just needs a footer - I'll have another look at it later (when it's not midnight) and get back to you. Someone else might be able to come up with a suggestion.

Design 2: Not the look I am after really. Give me a day and I will think about getting it (just because I don't like it doesn't mean no-one else does)

Sorry about the good/bad news!

OMG this will cost a bit

These are great guys!

DaveyBoy I'll take the Pink one. I take it it's easy to change the colours to whichever?

Freaky: Nice. Did you make the images? If not, can you tell me where they are from and what copyright restrictions apply

DaveyBoy: Please change the title so it's text

8everything: It's a bit pale and one-coloured. Something like MooseMan's would be a good design to go off :)

Animator: Are you banned or...?

Mooseman: I'll buy it

Tropica: I'll take the first one. Try adding a picture to the second one.

DaveyBoy: I'll take it!

So payment wise:
- Mooseman $30
- Tropica $30
- DaveyBoy $90

More than likely 8everything and freaky_sarvesh will end up with $30 each also, and $30 more for Tropica!

Looking forward to more entries by DaveyBoy and Mooseman. You 2 pretty much have nailed the look I am after (hint hint to all the other guys :))

Tropica
Mar 7th 2007, 2:22 pm
cheers :)

where would you like the image on the second one?

DaveyBoy
Mar 7th 2007, 2:24 pm
Thanks mate.

For the second one you commented on, did you mean change the title so it's just plain text rather than the styled thing? Wasn't too sure what you meant.

I'll get round to cleaning up the layers in the PSD files and then get them sent over when the changes are done.

Thanks again, will try and do more soon!

rochow
Mar 7th 2007, 2:32 pm
Yes you are correct.

Sent money to MooseMan and DaveyBoy

Can you give me your paypal Tropica and I'll send it over. The image would go either below the header, or somehow become part of the header

Tropica
Mar 7th 2007, 3:30 pm
