Thank you for the list of themes. There are some great themes in both lists, and I've used a few of them in the past. However, for this particular project, I want to create a theme that has more of a food or restaurant context to it.

Unfortunately, my artistic skills are almost zero, which is why I was looking for something with most of the work already done.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the links.

During the past couple of days, I've looked at the links you provided and did a search for other restaurant sites and food magazine sites.

I like www.cookinglight.com, www.saveur.com and www.olivegarden.com. I think that the color/graphics themes on those sites are fairly neutral and could apply to many different types of restaurants or food magazines.

It would be helpful if there was an area in the right portion of the header (to the right of the logo), where block photographs (maybe 3 small blocks) representative of the type of restaurant or food type could be easily placed. This way, XOOPS users could easily customize this by just changing the photographs, without completely redesigning the header/logo area. A simple text logo could be created and placed against a white header background, with the photographs to the right being the other part of the logo. This would be very flexible for people like me who have no artistic talent! One of my biggest issues when developing a site is trying to make a suitable logo.

Instead of having the banner to the right of the logo (which would cover over the block photos), the banner area could be above the header/logo area. Maybe even provide space where two banners could be placed side by side

Anyway, those are just a few of my thoughts.

Dave

Hi Dave,

If you desire you can use one of these images below.

Resized Image


Resized Image

I went to make a theme for a customer who gave up the project.

The images are not thus fantastic but it can serve of base for its creations.

If you desire sends me a PM that I send the originals in photoshop to you.

Cheers

Hi rplima2004,

Thank you for offering your images.

Unfortunately, I don't have the photoshop software to work with the images. I probably should spend some time looking for a photo editing software tool.
