For a school project in a visual communications class we have to do a project, about anything really. So I decided to pick.. Skinning an IF forum and maybe added a free hosted webpage as a splash page or intro. Obviously im going to have to do it at home too, becasue we only get about 2 weeks, but.. Will this be too hard you think? ive never skinned IF, but I did make an ok ZB one ( slate in the theme board ) is it hard to pick it up real quickly? ive never applied myself to skinning really so I dont know but I am definitely interested right now. Just curious about making buttons since this would be my main issue, HOW do they do it? how do you make them look real and depthy, I try but it seems like it doesnt turn out, I just want to know a couple of tools/effects you guys use. |

Depends on a few things... Personally, I think it's a bad idea. Stick to your strengths, and get an A. After that you can start experimenting and getting better at skinning and graphics. Then next time a project like this comes around you can be prepared to do a great job.

Never settle for a half measure.

I agree with Logan, get the hang of CSS and graphical design before you actually make one for a serious school project .

Here are my tips: Play with the css, but dont start off with nothing, take a skin and edit it, get used to the css and the board wrapper. Then, you gotta know what photoshop is, and if you dont, and cant use it, ask someone/request it. - Ive been playing with ipb 1.3 and photoshop for years, and i still dont know all of the css, so, just saying, you should give it a chance, but dont expect it to be easy.. |
