Hi! I'm the new head developer of CeresCP and I'm in charge of bringing it back it's glorious days. I've been working on rewriting ceresCP core completely to make it as flexible and performance-efficient as possible. I'll make it a A-class web application. And all this awesomeness will need a new look, and that's what this thread is for.
CeresCP Theme Contest
Prize
Winning theme will be featured as the default theme in the rehash of CeresCP All cerescp users will have your theme as their default
Your personal website/portofolio/whatever will be linked to at the footer of the theme, "Designed by <a href="'http://your.portofolio.personal.site.whatever.com'">Your Name</a>", granting you and your work great acknowledgement and exposure.
Information
I do recommend you to have a open mind on the design, forget how the current cerescp design is and works, let your design skills run free.
Theme should work flawlessly in all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera)
How to submit your work: take a screenshot of it on a browser and post here (no psds! only html (aka fully-working theme) accepted) -- use the forum attach file function if you like.
There will only be a winner if any of the submissions are actually used (aka I will only have someone win if I like a submission)
Be aware that if you're the designer of my chosen submission I might ask you for minor tweaks on the theme before making you the winner.
Deadline: There is no damn deadline. I will close the contest when I choose a submission (or when I get tired of waiting a submission)
Should there be any new information I'll update this post and post a reply to this topic letting you know about it. If you have any questions post in this topic.
footer-note: why this is the "arts & writings" forum? because jman said this topic belongs here.
1st update (17 march)
I'd like to remember however that you are not required to run your design over the control panel. you can simply create a html with your theme in any shape or form you design it to look like, since the new ceres panel was completely rewritten I do not require you to have your design adapt to it -- I will have the control panel fit the winning design.
