Okay, unless you want some graphic art done by me, code man here, you will need to help out. Yup, that would mean getting up and doing something. I know, the struggle. Actually, what I would like is to see if some of our more graphically inclined members here can do up some cool banners and buttons for PHPDN (or your favorite PHPDN sites, even =).
This isn't a contest, but if you want to think of it as one, go ahead. The winners will get to see their fancy artwork be used by use people here with complete disegard to ownership.
Okay, just kidding. But seriously, if you could help out, post some cool graphics and what not here, that would be a Good Thing (tm).
So, buttons and banners for PHPDN or PHPDN Members, or else, I will have to unleash my paint skills.

cool, ive got some graphic skills within this code-infested mind.
so do you want us to upload these images somewhere? (and if so where) or do you want us to use the bbcode img tag here? either one works for me, i just want to know what you need.

another question. do you want the color scheme of these buttons/banners to match the current color scheme of the site? im guessing yes but i want to be sure.

Just bbcode image them here. Or if you can't do that, simply email them to me, and I will upload them (though, I want to be lazy here so bbcode them if you can, less work for me =)).
As far as the image style, whatever you want. If you want to keep the same style as the rest of the forums ,that is fine. If not, no harm.
Just have fun.

A quick question about that graphic, how did you make it ie what program/techniques and where did you learn to do so? I really need a good graphics tutorial from somewhere.......

i used cinema4d to make a blob/spiny type thing, cropped what i wanted, pasted it into adobe, inverted it, type in php developers network, added a drop shadow, made to arrows and beveled and embossed them, saved optimized, and uploaded...

where did i learn this? trial and error mostly...

Well I am a design and development director. Or simply call me an art director. I already agreed to do some banners for Jason, but I'd like to create a couple new styles for this place. You know completely new skins/styles that you can choose between. The default style for phpBB get kind of old. Well I'll start on the banners and stuff and check back later with you on the styles, k?
