TSF I'm angry with you, it's been two weeks and I have yet to see the skin released, why torture me!? Why!? In other news, I do notice the similarities between both sites, but cannot really tell if its just coincidence or not so I'll leave this to the pros.

Mike, if you can rip a 'layout' or 'style' all sites on the whole internet could better get their servers down... hm, WC actually really look like all other skinning sites

Spilled bleach over it? funny indeed
(for seriouse, some idiot offered me $400 for the design after I gave him a link so he could check it out...


And no, I never wanted to be a thread to any design or design company but think of thi: You guys deliver quality work but that work probably comes at a high price. I like to think of myself as a person who delivers quality work but I bet I can deliver an interface at the fraction of the costs you guys do.

And yes, I know the spelling is bad on the site. Dutch guy eh... ofcourse that won't stay on it.

Well, Styl, I think allot of these post or more helpful than anything else. Yes the style of your site looks like the skins factory. Yeah it is possible that most will not care a lick, but I just think that for a skinning firm or business you should be able to come up with something more 'original'. Original in the sense that there is a major skinning firm with a similar look and you might want to separate yourself a little more with the button style and background borders.

Hey take a look at Deviant Art in the category web interfaces. Lots of ideas there!!! In doing my research for the skin report (as well as other things) I found it and its amazing!!!

I recently made favorites of some of them on my anifanatic deviantart main page:

#71 by craeonics - 8/21/2004 10:50:33 AM All plagiarism (or not) aside, you need more pics on that site, man. There's way too much text and no flavour whatsoever. Also, the overall text layout is sloppy (which is something most skinners have in common).

yeah, and even putting politics, memories, and even 'likeness' aside too, I agree its text heavy (but I assume that it is because it is in the design stages... the same with the spelling)

Text layout... well, I think artist tend to have a problem with that (and spelling) because they use a different part of the brain than people who calculate or are more into non-art activities.

So as an artist (sort of) I have to be very careful about spelling and style formatting and language. MAN THAT IS TOUGH!!!

I hope all this helps. From all the comments I see here you should have a very banging site when done.

well you can always bring the text into Microsoft Word and do a spell check - which was basically my point.

DWatson - i think possibly monday or tuesday. Most likely monday. It went through a lot of bug testing since it's shipping on their machines.

I'll give you one more peek though:

I didn't mean to get testy, but after 50 or 60 posts, the message did not seem to be getting through. So for the sake of decorum, I will apologize for calling him an idiot.
I might have used Obstinate, or could have used Obtuse, but should have just let the facts speak for themselves, as observation is the best telltale of them all. I will defer final Judgement, for when the site is changed. I would be more than Happy to be proven wrong. I always am, it means I can still learn a thing or two and have not turned into a curmudgen.

Looking very good jeff, only one thing that is really 'wrong' with this preview is the little joystick?, antena?, that is comming out of the icon in the middle. It just looks like it is out of place, maybe some depth at the point where it connects with the icon would help.

just my 2 cents... the other icons are looking very neet I must say...

I really dont care what it is, it looks sweet but dont you think the antena should be a little bit 'pushed into it'?

I say 12!

The half because the wall wasnt properly obscured and got rejected.

CerebroJD has a point!! Only 5 or 6 will get through!!!

Monday is here!!! Give up wht skins!!!

Oh and Styl, just visited your site. Much better name. Does it have a spanish twist to it?
(and yes I still think it should not say skin in the name )

DW, coffee wil keep you from sleeping during nights

RE: GUI Olympics: just too damn busy for something like that.
