A CSS graphics designer.

Hey guys, I am looking for a designer who can do designs like this one
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=192/192.css

in CSS of course. I guess I may be going a bit overboard with the design of my blog/directory but I don't want another cookie cutter design.

Could you please give me a list of your best CSS work and prices. I have already asked the only guy around that I know of who could do it (potter) but he is starting a program and no longer taking customers for that stuff.

Great link! Much to learn from!

Gimme a few months, or possibly years, and I might be able to provide that service for you.

How about 2 months?

Sorry... I'm just a cocky newbie who needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut.

Two months might be pushing it, but if you're really willing to work with someone who has very little experience I'm the perfect high risk investement for you!

What exactly do you want your design to do for you?

Well, I want it to be unique, save bandwith, and be a fly for the SE spiders. As I understand it, a design in CSS does all the aforementioned.
I already have someone to do the script work for me when the design is complete.

virgohippy · 2006-05-04, 03:13 PM

And you're looking for that gothic, romantic, storybook feel?

I know a guy who has a strong sense of contemporary cool with a pretty unique style. I'll ask him if he's interested in taking on a side job. I don't know if he does css, but I can convert any graphic design of his into a css design for you... unless your script handler can do that already.

karomesis · 2006-05-04, 03:46 PM

Kindof. I really like the borderless design and the fadeouts of some of the graphics.

The name of the blog/directory is society of libertines , think De Sade meets Robb report. If you could translate into CSS why couldn't you just start with the CSS instead? I ask because I am unsure of the difficulties involved.

virgohippy · 2006-05-04, 04:25 PM

Every artist has their own way of doing things, and is used to doing certain types of projects, but if I were to do those graphics you pointed out I would probably work them in graphic design programs, like illustrator/photoshop/freehand, then later convert them for use in web applications because it's much easier to do it that way.

CSS is just a way of telling the browser where to put and how to treat those images, the same as html.

I contacted the artist I mentioned and let him know about the job.

If he's interested, can I send him your email address? Send it to me in a PM.

karomesis · 2006-05-04, 05:17 PM

yeah, thanks for the help.

virgohippy · 2006-05-09, 03:12 AM

*bumb*

The designer got back to me and said he's too busy to put his fullest attention into this project. He did say to ask him again in about a month or two. But, if you come across someone else before then, by all means you should go with them.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of help.

karomesis · 2006-05-09, 10:17 PM

I appreciate the effort

I found a guy in brazil who can do it.

No worries. Glad to hear you found someone.
