I think this would be a nice addition in the New Year
New Year / Website's 1st Birthday Combo
I agree! Super nice!
See the theme down at bottom for selection. If you have the time to provide the other sizes, I'll default the theme until after the 1st.

What the shit...never got notified of this.
Derp.
Looks great, my fault!
How exactly do you design these things
@lookoutawhale?
@lookoutawhale?
First I take a screenshot of the 4 sizes. Then i cut out the forum in each size and use it as a stencil to edit out the background.How exactly do you design these things
Although I think I may have mixed something up. Does the happy new years sign get clipped for you on the cell in portrait mode?
I was following the forum's response settings.
I was thinking the narrow was portrait and the mobile was the landscape mode like in their settings up there, but I think that may be wrong in that.
Here's what portrait looks like on my phone
@lookoutawhale
And here's landscape.
How do you do the art? That's what is so awesome.

thanks, that helps me see how other phones see it. My view is the exact same as that. Mobile for portrait, and moble for landscape. I thought most of us saw it through narrow on potrait and mobile for landscape. Guess that's not the case.Here's what portrait looks like on my phone

Our looks a little bit different though because you have that extra black mod bar that normal users dont get so your forum gets pushed down a bit more.
Thanks!
I edit the hell out of it in photoshop like my cartoons hehe. I move stuff around to see if the theme works or not. Sometimes it doesn't look good and i scrap them. like the christmas one that i made was going to be a bit different. I was going to make the wallpaper look like a bad christmas sweater and then a brick background with a window looking into someones house with their decorations but tried it and scrapped it thinking an ice background with a snowy snowman seemed like a better fit. Its kind of trial and error.
Man I would love to be able to do that stuff. I find it intriguing. Where do you get the art from? Like the champagne bottles, glasses, fireworks. etc. Are are you drawing all of that from scratch on a software?Thanks!
ill find them from the web and edit them. like for instance this is the cake:
but i took the letters off the top and changed the colour of it and then added the 1 birthday number
and this is the fireworks. with the colour changed and background taken out on top of the wallpaper.
this is the glitter found in the text
you take all the elements and then you kind of put them together to see how it all goes.
The happy new years sign is made in text and then i create the wire from shapes and then added glitter and paint it from scratch kind of thing.
Amazing work my man. You have got some serious skills.ill find them from the web and edit them. like for instance this is the cake:

You should download Photoshop. Maybe play around with it a bit. You could make some pretty cool stuff if this interests you. I can help you out if you have any questions regarding it too.
