You should have a good concept on HTML and howto use CSS. You can make a skin without it but I'd imagine it wouldn't be very good nor easy...

You'd need:

-Image making skills. (Photoshop etc. if you intend to make your own images)
-XHTML skills. (To edit the templates and layout)
-CSS optional if you want to edit form colors etc. but you need to know the basic XHTML of calling a CSS class, which is used quite a bit in the template system.
-Good/excellent knowledge of which template affects where.

If you know those, you should be fine. The last point can be learnt by just playing around with the templates and that.

I have been wanting to get into doing some skins for vB also. I have been skinning for phpBB for a while so I should have the grasp of it quite quickly but my main drawback for now is going to be having somewhere to test my skins that I am working on. I do not plan on buying a vB license just to skin for the community Anyway I'm sure i'll find a webmaster with a test board they will let me use to test the themes I make. (heres hoping!) Anyway I will need to have a way of getting either the default vB3 theme or a similar free one in order to see the structure so that I can get started with skinning. Any suggestions on where to get this or recommend a good alternative to the default theme to begin working from to get to understand vB structure??
