Anyone good at designing Wordpress themes?

just for the point of this thread being so empty and not getting responses I'll just say I've never heard of Wordpress. D:

[Reincarnate]

It's a blog thing.

[darkshark]

I'm pgood.

Though designing one from scratch is almost obsolete with how many pre-made themes there are out there.

www.themeforest.net

[Reincarnate]

That was the site I had already been using to look for themes, but nothing fits what I have in mind (a few are close but only in part)

I'll probably end up just Frankenstein-ing together parts from different themes or something. A lot of these themes have all these bells and whistles idgaf about.

[darkshark]

What are you trying to do?

[Reincarnate]

*Very* hard for me to describe/articulate (I can only see it in my mind) -- but a sort of blue-hued Deus Ex: Human Revolution style of tech coupled with sort of bright, video-game colors/space-like undertones a la the Noctis theme. (In other words, think DX:HR + Final Fantasy)

In yet other words, a cool/sexy/sleek fusion between technology and magic, with blue as the primary base color of things.

Wordpress is just HTML. Like Darkshark said, doing it from scratch isn't gonna happen and it's highly impractical. Your best bet is to find a base template that's as close as you can get to what you want. Then go into the HTML yourself and start tweaking and fiddling with everything yourself. You'll slowly learn, it's just taking the initiative to actually look at the code. I 'would' if I didn't have my own Tumblr project going on at the moment... Sorry :'(

[Reincarnate]

Yeah, I suppose -- it's just hard to find what I'm after even in terms of base.

So it's basically making a website template in a sense... well if you want something customized, it can certainly be done. If you have an orignal idea then templates aren't going to do much except perhaps act as a reference to what you actually want, with this and that changed etc.

EDIT: oh right that's what you did with the Noctis theme lol. I can picture your idea, it seems doable. However it would take quite a bit of work.

[Reincarnate]

Yeah, that's why I was hoping to find something already made that fits what I'm after, but it doesn't seem to be out there.

[Reincarnate]

Anyways if anyone's willing to help with this, please let me know. I'd be willing to pay if it's really, really good and you know what you're doing (as I COULD do this myself but it's going to take me like ten times longer and I'm not experienced with creating art on the computer... would much rather just pay someone else to do it right so I could learn from that instead and get the ball rolling on things).

[Reincarnate]

Fack.

[darkshark]

Yeah I don't have time to work on that sort of project right now. Sorry D:

[Reincarnate]

Still on the prowl for a good theme if anyone's aware

As a budding web developer, I've thought about trying my hand at Wordpress theming. However, I've heard that it's deceptively complicated and not worth the effort. For some projects, it would probably be quicker to design a new blog system from scratch rather than try to work around Wordpress's system. If this project is important to you, I would engage a wordpress developer to do the work for you.

I know it's not the response you want, but it's the response I'm going to give.
