Outline Community Theme

Overview

We're trying out a great new project here that was thought up and developed by the Gold Members. As a community, we're going to begin crafting a theme, piece-by-piece through a series of battles, and then it will be coded to be released in to our database and used as an Outline theme!

Process

We're incredibly excited about this project, but we're fully aware of problems that could arise - including inconsistent theme pieces, designers, or the problems of tossing a PSD around an entire community. We believe we've created a unique, innovative, and intuitive solution to these problems utilizing our own graphic battles forum. Here's how this is going to work:
  1. Each component of the theme is going to be put to a battle - anyone can submit their entry using the existing PSD (with the exception of battle #1 which will not have a pre-existing PSD).
  2. After a certain amount of time, each entry will be put to a vote which decides whose entry gets to stay in the theme.
  3. After all components have been designed and the print is complete, we'll create a name and the graphics while one coder gets to work bringing our creation to life!


You'll be able to track the progress of our theme in this thread!

Battles

Version History


And that's it! You'll find some more specific rules in each battle thread as they come out, but they won't be too limiting. Character defines everything, and we expect this theme to have a lot of it, so we'd love everyone possible to participate regardless of how long you've been here. :)

Great idea, Cody. I won't take part in the designing portion, but I'll be glad to vote. There are already quite a few good options.
