Make an SAU style!

[PranK]

C'mon all you design orientated people! Make a new SAU style!

We need some nice styles for the forums as the current ones are a bit boring... ie, more images and nice colours!

Show me what you got!

just make sure its low on the bandwith as well hehe one thing having a nice style, but its a pain in the arse waiting for it to load..

The million dollar question is, where and how are these styles supposed to be submitted (as per my Q on ICQ)

Here is my attempt, i know Shan will make the winning one but i decided to have a shot at this... it's only like the 3rd layout i've ever done, but your comments are welcome. It's based on the first layout i ever created, please feel free to edit it and add improvments etc... I tried to find a picture with as many models of the Skyline as i could, hope the owners such a Ferni don't mind me using their cars on my layout, thanks.

EDIT: Had to make it a lower quality JPG Image so i could upload it.

That's quite a decent effort sock. I like it. I would go for a darker look though, perhaps gray? I just seem to like gray in websites (as seen here - http://www.nsperformanceclub.com)

I think that gray would suit that header better. A nice effort though mate!

suggestion, how bout like back in the day that dark grey/black one, i liked it wasnt too flashy.

How do you make a theme?

I mena im a graphic designer, but ive never made a theme ..

how are they ment to be done?

[funkymonkey]

you take a bitmap editor and a vbulletin layout (simple screengrabs usually help) then you modify it till you come to something you like, then you slice the image into the elements and you use HTML to tie it all together... simple stuff really

Hey Guys,

Ive quickly knocked up a style for the Home Page Ive gone with the grey theme as I agree it's the very 'in' scheme at the moment.

As you can see all positioning, etc of the elements remains the same - the main updates are to the colors and backgrounds so it should be nice and easy to implement. Blah blah blah

Feedback is appreciated:

nice scott

try doing one up the same but change the white background to a darker grey to compliment the lighter grey

[ScottKing GTS-4]

V2 - Drop Down menu, water mark behind heading, new background (subtle)

Excuse the nasty JPEG compression, trying to keep it under 109k

Thanks Jimbo,

I like your idea - darker grey for the backgorunds to replace the white - Im just worried about which font color to use over the top without making the page to hard to read. I could use White text on the dark background but that tends to send some people blind (I personally dont have a problem with that). Anyway keep the comments comming mate.

[Jimbo2000]

maybe the yellowish mustard that your username appears as (if you're using the blue SAU style)
