MazStyle - I need help!

Post by Maz »

As you seee, most of the images used on MazStyle do not really suit it. So I wish I could get some new images, especially for the lil icons at the left side. (Next to topc's name). I need icons for announcements, sticky threads and also for normal threads. As well as forums with subforums. Current flying skull from DOOM is really not suitable, it loses just about everything it has when it is shrink.

So basically something that suits hellish theme. Snakes, monsters, medieval weapons.... You know the fantacy world ;) And yes, I know it is ugly for most of you and that's why SPanek's style is the default :D (But I like ugly sites :D)

And if you didn't know, you can select the style you wish to use from your 'control panel'. the profile link at the top is where style selection is located :)

EDIT:
I'll probs post the image sizes here too, but for now you can just right-click the current image, and select the properties from the menu. There should be pixel size displayed. Most important thing in pixel size is the height/Width ratio. It must be maintained. Otherwice Image can be shrinked, although using ridiculously large images will increase used bandwidth....

Well, we generally need better graphics on site. But I guess we could announce the need in a bran new thread if we think someone might help us with that (and when someone has time to look over the process of getting and accepting new images, and add new images to the site...) :)

So basically we need a design team (or a wery dedicated design person) with people capable of making independent design decisions, and skill of updating the template files accordingly...

Do we have anybody? I am thinking SFault might have some skills, but I am not sure...
Looking over the design process could be something more or less anyone can do, but it would of course be cool if it was someone with some skills in the area...
Would it be helpful to try and line out what it is we need...Like do a TO-DO list where people can see what we actually lack and hence what needs to be done?
If we was able to do that then there would not be any problems with doing at least some of the tasks for me, and someone else can propably do other stuff and as such we can all work as a design team.
Hows that for an idea?
