    Just a thought - I have been on a doodling streak lately in Photoshop as I have been learning a few new techniques, and thought some of the designs I came up with would be great as templates for OD etc ... but I am not much of a coder (I can modify code pretty well to get what I want, but to start from scratch its a little hard (I get bogged down in the logic - it confuses me ;) so if anyone would be interested in collaborating on a design or two, let me know. I can send full PSD etc or whatnot ... Thanks!

    Will do Jeremy. What version of Photoshop are you on? I am 95% sure that Anything I do in CS3 will open in an earlier version, but want to make sure so I don't send something you cannot use. Just sent you two recent ones ... let me know what you think! ;)


    Thanks Ainslie ... will definitely keep you in mind in the future ;)

    @ JeremyD & Fernbap: Let me know if I left anything out of the PSDs that you would have liked to have had included. I intentionally left out any text /fonts and kept only the major "sections" such as nav and body graphically defined to give the code designer more freedom of choice.

    Any requests for any other color schemes/themes? I am in the middle of some nitpicky reformat /revamp projects at work so doing something creative and off the cuff helps my brain relax and recharge. Open to requests ;)

    Yes please but it may not see the light of day for a while as I really have to do my revision.

    Please send to ainslie.johnson(at)gmail.com replacing the (at) of course with @.

    I am sure you can do them justice and then some! You definitely can't do any worse than me, right? ;) I am okay with modifying code, but write it from scratch??? ::scratches head and shudders:: not really my forte'

    Hey Kirby - Any prefences for color or "intended use"? I'm on a geekstreak here and seem to be coming up with a number of different ones;)

    Some of the layers are marked as hidden, and I'm not sure if they are supposed to be included or not?

    I've got some spare time (looking for freelance work). Go ahead and send one my way eneuen(AT)gmail(DOT)com.

    @kirby: the hidden stuff is optional .. basically variations I wasn't enamored with but someone else might be? ;)


    @neuen: will do! This is just for fun and practice and maybe to submit and give to OD for a little variety from the standard blog stylization ;)...

    I just finished my exams, so I have some time. That was supposed to say Do blue, because blue is a very popular colour on the net. champ_5_ (at) msn.com (ancient email address from dark ages, too lazy to change it), and I would love to see a mockup or two.
