Vbulletin Skin - Work In Progress

It appears the database has messed up and all the most in the past week or two have now gone.

So I'll post what i can remember:

Stage 3:


Work to be completed
- Gradient Overlay in navigation bar Completed
- Login Box & Stats Box Completed
- Tidy up main navigation bar Critical
- Sort out top navigation/URL Affilicates Critical
- Full set of icons to be used for the forum Main ones more critical than full
- Footer & Notices Comes standard with many things - not high priorites but will be done
- Lorem ipsum [Putting in some forums/categorys to show what it will look liek] Critical
- Unflatten and give the site some texture Critical
- Border - Basic HTML - CSS Background Critical


Work i might do
- Splash page [Just a nice design maybe provide a little brief on it as like you would for a small story]
- Web-template [A template to work with the skin - same style and colour scheme]
- Code the template into vBulletin 3 [See the template in action]
- Maybe animate the banner in some

I do rely on your support so please give me advice, comments & feedback please. Bad critism is Constructive Criticsm. Slagging is not helpful.

Regards,
Ryan

Merged Post:

Thats what i've started working on:

The blue (Read Topic) icon i feel is near on perfect for the skin
But the Brownish (Un-Read Topic) icon is not as close comapred to the read one. I tried to bring in the "deserty red/orange" colour from the header into play to stop the blue controlling the site, i think i need to work on the Bevel on that.

Just an slight update but the earlier you see the changes the earlier i can be notified of problems. It also helps me to see myself when its put up in the IE7 (My internet browser) of how its going.

Ryan

p.s. C+C Please

 

Its good so far, the only thing I can say is not to use those icons, sorry but they kinda look horrible. The rest is good though.

 

I liked the light-blue one. Ah well i've changed them and just did a different design of them:

 

Thats MUCH better, good luck for further adjustments

 

Can't wait to see the next template so far so good.

 

The only thing I would say is make it a bit more "glossy" or change the colors up some...

but still, better than I can do

 

looka kinda cool so far just not too keen on colours

 

Hey ppl - thanx for reply's.
Yes i think your right about the gloss,
So what i've deceided is to render around the top part of Liberty's crown and the plane. It will then allow me to get a better colour match with a nice gloss.

I've not done much work since, but what i have done is done a full set of Icons. I'll post an s/shot of them later on, but imho i think they are pretty saweet.

Will update soon

 

I've lost all my icons, because was stupid enough to not save them. Anyway i've just started doing them again.

Here are two that i've just completed:

MSN Icon/Buddy Icon:
E-mail Icon:

 

Very nice man!!
Good job

 

TY i'm going to carry on with this at the end of the week as i have some jobs on the go for people and have 4exams in the next 2days

 

Wow great template! I haven't seen the movie yet though
