So I was wondering...when you guys first start out a skin, do you look to others for inspiration for the maintitle? Even if it means sending it to a friend over MSN for comments.

I tend to try and mix some fancy maintitle's from some skins I like, but..I never end up liking my maintitles...

What do you guys do? I once got inspired by a bedsheet...it was so weird I felt like a dork there..I didn't end up using it because of the outrageous color scheme (like 5 colors lol...) I may use it eventually though...

So, what do you guys do for inspiration with maintitle's? Do you get it from real life scenarios, or spur of the moment, with friend input?

*Fixed spelling mistake xD

I plan on making a skin, and the inspiration came from my pillow, so whatever works. XD

My first skin, was an expirement, and I just made it up as I went along. But my second skin inspiration came from this skin(IFSZ's skin) I like the fa, f1, and f2 colors, and so it's light silvers and all. Never be as good as this one though. ;_;

When I skin, I usually look through the gallery to see any new skins that I could rip off of... I mean... get inspired by. :P

Sometimes ideas just come to me, others I use inspiration and try to play with the design to make it unique.

In the past: I stole other people's ideas for maintitle.

Now: I make my own maintitles, without other's inspiration.

Heh, I've only made 2 but the first was inspired by another skin I saw, and the second one which I posted somewere but can't seem to find, I made with sombody in mind, I just try to do what I think looks good, I'm never really to bothered what other people think...But if I make something, and i really don't like it, or if I make a mistake, I always tend to find myself starting again, or from the last posint were I had my stuff before it went wrong, seing as I'm a newbie to CSS it gets confusing.
