  Old  First vB Skin [WIP]

Ok folks...I've never designed a forum skin or even a site design...I've just always done logo's. That said, I've been working on one lately and have hit a brick wall. I just don't know where to take it from here. I know there are improvements that I can make...but I just can't come up with any

Input's appreciated!

I would have to say that is a nice skin for your first, GTAce.

Now make a forumpost bit...

I like the setup, I'm just not a fan of the strong red.

Thanks guys

I was holding off on the postbit until I finished the index....I want to make sure it's exactly what I want or close to it before I start another page that I'll have to just change later.

Not a fan of the strong red? ...That's the one thing that I really wanted to take away from this skin - Red....people don't use red enough these days. It's all blues, grays, and greens.

Would appreciate more input - I need to make it look perfect before working on the other pages

worse.

I find that the dark red it a little bit intrusive, and the lighter one is even worse. Try using scan lines or something on it to dull it down.

Thanks, I see what you mean...does this look any better?

I'm not sure that I like it, but it might just be the method I used...the feel of those grid lines isn't all that great, imo

Two more with scan lines...these look a little bit better than the last with lines, imo
