Description: http://www.thoughtmechanics.com is looking for a new custom theme. If you have any questions, please just ask. We will start the contest off with pretty free creativity, then as we see things we like, we will start moving towards a certain look. The design should be made so there is no left/right scrolling. Either by making the design fluid, or however else you choose to ensure there is no horizontal scrolling on the blog. Here are some example sites for you to base your design off of: http://www.shoutwire.com/ http://digg.com http://msxsecurity.com/ http://bizmp.com/ http://dealspl.us/ http://duggtrends.com/diggmirror.aspx http://www.protolize.org/index.php http://popcurrent.com/ The design should be coded and ready for install You can enter the SP contest if you like, or I can deal with you here. http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/contestbrief.php?contestid=2367
When will this contest end? I am thinking of entering but will need some time to learn teh wp format, so when will it end?
It ends in 7 days, unless we don't get a design we like then it will be extended. But probably you can count on it ending in 7 days.
OK thanks Didn't mean to spam you guys, I just searched DP for people seeking sponsors for their WP themes and figured it would be a good way to get the word out. I sent 10 people PM's about it.
Haha, finally a WP theme PM that I'm interested in! Could you please provide at least some details about the look of your desired theme? Like colors, columns, adsense ready, do you want like only Photoshop design or do you want us to use an image? Thanks, Kate
Look at the site now, it would be nice if you can duplicate the colums shown on this template. As for colors, just look at the example sites I listed above and make your best judgemnt. If we want to tweak the colors, we can. Just be creative Personally, I like the colors the current theme has myself. But I'm doing this project in partnership with maz, the blogs owner. So I'm not the only one makeing decisions. You're a designer, it's what you do! Get creative! Looking forward to your entry! -Barry
I don't like color scheme, it doesn't seem to go well together. Though I do like the grayish background and the shadow effect you have. Look at the current theme we have up at TM, see how nice it all goes together? The colors need to complement each other more. I do like the rounded corners of the main body area. The grey area where the main menu is, that's ok I don't like the red headers for each story and the logo is no good. Thanks! And sorry for picking apart you submission =\
well here is mine heh had some time working on it but well i got it glass is my fashion he he he yours could be too
It's not too bad. Though I don't particularly like the red. I also dislike the bubbly fonts, it makes it look like some kind of kids blog. It needs to have a more adult feel. And by adult, I don't mean XXX, I just mean more grown up.
ly, before I start re-doing it, could you provide me the PSD of the logo you're using? It would be of enormous help. Thanks
Whats up Barry? I cannot code but Im sure that we could find someone who could do it for you. I made this in Photoshop for you. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Kevin.
