Hey guys! It's me again. I'm looking for something completely different this post around. I'm not gonna lie, the site needs a new look. And the front page needs to be completely redesigned. I designed it originally, so I know it sucks. Not only that, but the front page is so unoriginal.

Here's where you come in:
I need someone to design a theme for The DRP's forum and front page, and completely redesign the front page of the website. If you design it, I can code it. So feel free to throw in new sections to the front page, remove them. Do as you feel.
My only requirements are these:

The theme should probably be lighter, in color.
The front page must have the following items:
- Log-in box that changes to some kind of status box. (you need to design both)
- Most recent posts/threads
- The blog area. (this will have to be designed in two ways. It needs to be designed for when regular members and guests view it. And it needs to be designed for when admins and moderators view it. The main difference will be that the admins and moderators will have an area to add, edit, and delete posts.)
- Links to the forum, a contact us, and an about us page.
The new site needs to have a professional, but at the same time, lax atmosphere to it.

Please note that this list may be updated as I get a few more ideas.

As the designer, you will be responsible for the graphics work, as I don't have any skills whatsoever.

Now for the fun part! This IS a paid project. I can't guarantee what I can pay you right now, but it will be above 30 dollars. Because this is a competitive project, I can, of course, only accept one (maybe two) design(s). As far as payment goes, you unfortunately have one of two options:
I can send you money over paypal (and I would prefer this option), or I can send you a check.

Also, it would help me out tremendously if you knew how to work with the themes in MyBB and could have one made and ready to install. This isn't a requirement though.
Once make your submission, we will have a forum poll to see what's liked and what isn't. This won't necessarily make the decision on whose design we accept, but it will definitely weigh in heavily on the final decision.

For more information, or to make a private submission, e-mail staff@thedrp.org.
Have Fun!

[edit]Themes created should be unisex (not boyish or girlish in particular).[/edit]

I'm so in, but don't want any cash, if I win can I donate the money to a charity?

***Nicholas_Roge*** · 06-13-2010, 05:48 PM

Oh, by all means. Are you skilled at all with MyBB by any chance? And sure, you could donate to a charity. XD *points at DRP.* All the sites money comes straight out of pocket, unfortunately. And any help would be very much appreciated.

Hrm... Maybe I should add an area for donating on the front page.

Oh I wanted to help sick children...But I guess maybe it is your money so you should keep it...
Never used MyBB before...I ONLY USE GOOD BULLETIN BOARD SOFTWARE

But I can download a base theme and work my way outwards from there.

I'm thinking...Pink and green?

***Nicholas_Roge*** · 06-13-2010, 05:52 PM

Meh. I like MyBB. And pink and green? A little vibrant... And you can help sick children too. I didn't realize what you were trying to say. Yeah, I'd donate to any charity you wanted.

But we need to brighten the place and make it less scary!
Kids these days all love black websites, it's horrible!

The point I would like to make is that the theme needs to be unisex, rather than leaning one way or the other. But if you want to make a theme like that, you're more than welcome to, but if entered, it has a lower chance of winning.

*added that to the rules*

Why don't you just use the theme I made for you a while back and pay me for that?

Nevermind, I'm working on a new one that's even better for this.
