Calling All Skinners!

[Ampersand]

Hey, all.

I'm in need of some help.

I need someone (Or five someones) who are very trustworthy, very dedicated, and very creative to do me a solid, and it's relating to phpBB3 skins. I can't have you half-assing something like this; If you're in, I'm going to expect delivery.

I need five custom skins done - And not all five have to be done by the same person, but all five do need to be pretty amazing.

These skins need should have the following:

-> Amazing integration - Room on the menu bar for additional links.
-> Extremely clear Forum Icons for New Post / Read / Sticky / Etc.
-> One of these should be China-themed, but not all of them.
-> One of these needs to be used as the "Standard" skin for a forum. In other words, probably white or light background, easy navigation, and so on. Something like this is an extremely good example of what I'm looking for.
-> The skins should not be fullscreen, as far as width goes. The above link is a good idea of size, width-wise.

I also need to be able to work to mold and change some of these to fit some ideas that my team will have. But I really, really would like to see some ideas here, and these requirements are of course, malleable. What I posted above are simply guidelines, so I'm looking more for creativity, but nothing wild. Standard forum format should be good, unless it's just blow-me-away amazing. I'm not set on any of these, so long as the skins are amazing.

Any questions, feel more than free to post here.

Well...erm...I have a mock up ready done for one of them.

EDIT: Here's the full sizes: Index Topic Thread UCP

EDIT2: Hm. I appear to be missing some things. Like the line to separate the avatar etc. from the post in Topic view and the lines have shadows in the Thread view. They'll be fixed at some point before coding. ;)

Oh, I should clarify that this is not for Metanet specifically. We can certainly use 'em for Metanet, but this is for another project of mine.

Now that one's not bad at all - I'd probably like to mod it a bit, though. Thanks, brother. Got any others in you?

I can't code, Blizz. Sorry. ;-;

However, I could do some mock-ups for ya just to throw some ideas. I kinda want to do that China-themed one.

I seriously don't care if you can code it - I can get guys to code it. I just need the imagery and the ability to start putting it together.

I'm a widely acclaimed forum skin artist. I've got one in the works right now, and I can make others.
