...about designing and coding a website by the forum members devoted to graphics, designing, sigs and renders?

It would give a chance for people to get talents recognised by visitors, and hell, we could even sell some of the stuff. Some while back there was talk of a site like this selling work between Egaladeist and a few others. This plan didn't get too far, but who knows :chk:

Many people would/could be involved - designers, coders, admins, web masters etc, which would be kind of community activity thing for the forums.

What do you guys think?
 
Id be in, i am ok with web gfx : / and id like to learn some coding so id be in, but i have dial up now and cable wont be available for about 2 months not in our area till may or june
 
Well if the idea is in favor, then may as well make a start!

I'm happy to set up the server and account etc, and I can also pay for bandwidth as only $2 a gigabyte which is no major problem. But that's jumping the gun a little.

A name will be needed for the site - I will be using dot.tk as the 'provider', and a freewebtown account, so the site will be www.whatever.tk with all the hosting done @ freeweb.

Also we'll need a list of the content that will be on the site, such as a forum, guestbook, sig creation form, tutorial page and submission form etc.

Any ideas?
 
I'm in! I don't know wether we'd sell anything but we could keep an archive of content,
After a main page we could have a forum link to this, or even have a separate forum.
 
It’s a good idea I think.

Do you mean having a different site and forums or just use the HWF graphics forum. If you want to start a new site with its own forums etc it will take time to grow as there’s plenty of sites out there.

If you want and can wait till the summer when I will have more time, I could help with the host/domain and forums etc

PM me some domain ideas.

I wouldn't want to draw traffic away from the site, so perhaps we create a thread in graphics design leading to the site, but on all the pages have a "Back To The Forums" link or something.

Also, the Forum could be this site, with a link to graphics design as the default forum maybe? That would encourage traffic for both sites.

Agreed, it will take a long time for the site to get busy if it even gets a couple of visitors, but development and content could be designed now.

Still need a name :confused:

Decayed Designs
Fragmented Imagination
Destroyed Visions
Delusional Divinity
Shattered Realms
Broken Designs
 
Yep. Nab it while its still there. Although you could have like shatteredrealms365.com or something similar.
 
--::==[UPDATE]==::--



I've had a go at making the navigation for the site, this would sit directly below the main title graphic which would be abstract and tech, I think would look good.

If you want the *psd give me a shout and I'll upload it some place.

Then have ago changing text, colour etc etc.
 
I guess I could try a web banner ...but it wont b as good as anything u can produce

EDIT:What font have you used there??
 
This is what I've done so far
