http://350gfx.deviantart.com/art/Forum-Skin-102435550 A forum skin I'm working on just for the hell of it.
I know this is old, but I'd like to give you some feedback. The skin overall has a nice design, fairly simple. However, the size for a larger forum would be too big and possibly make the forum overall look highly unprofessional or "cheesy" if you'd like to call it that. And DJ- all he is doing there is just design features of the template in photoshop, etc, then he will slice it up (the images), and code it into an XML, or most likely strait through the vBulletin editor with CSS. Not incredibly difficult, just time consuming, there is a lot of elements to forum skins that post designers miss.
