Graphic Style

[Winterworks]

There are currently almost no graphic styles >.<

I need something to do with graphics/photoshop/paint whatever. Like http://www.netunt.com/community/.

Anyone know of any good styles for graphic related sites? Thanks.

Not offhand, what i would suggest if you cannot find a specific theme is go for a generic style but design graphic related images around the style. This is what i did, and it seems to have worked.

Sometimes, simplicity is the better option.

On a side note; on your site, Shelley, is that a free style? Or did it cost you? Or was it custom?

Yeah, if I can't find one, that's what I'll do, thanks.

I designed that style, it's just a generic very simple style without the cherrys on top. There's no rule that states that a graphic site needs to have a heavy intensive graphic theme. afterall, we are not stylers, we are graphic/image designers and that is how i looked at it (I mainly design a generic style because i'm lazy) I had a snazzy style it took to much time to maintain when the updates came along.

Keep it simple, you'll thank yourself for it all the more esp in the long run. Concentrate on what your offering and that is graphics which will eliminate most of your time maintaining styles.

My site will be for all photoshopped graphics.

I really like your style though. I'm guessing you're not willing to share it though, so I'm not even gonna bother

Untill I design a new one I will keep this exclusively to my own site. Maybe sometime in 2009 I will re-design a new style and release the style here (unsupported) I'm using now.

with that said, Try and design a simple style, and you'll be surprised that quality icons implement to the style will make a mediocre style into something visually better than what the actual style is.

Alright, okay.

Ugh, I'll try to find a style and edit it to my own needs majorly. The Art Venom staff might give me theirs.
