DeviantArt is about art, art is about self-expression, and journal is about the only part of user's page that one can fully modify to express themselves. There are many interesting skins around DA, and I've created a few myself – but they were meant to be general, to fit to as many journals as possible. But perhaps you want a skin that reflects your personality, artistic style, tastes in color and other various subjects.
In this case you can commission me, and I'll create and code a layout that visualizes your most specific ideas. If it's possible to make by means of Cascading Style Sheets, I'll do my best. I can provide skins for journal and galleries, for individuals and groups. Send me a note, and we'll discuss the details.
Price outline
Prices are in USD. This is a guideline; the final value will be determined by the complexity of items listed and other elements that you might want to include.
Base journal layout
20
A layout with images provided by you that need little-to-no Photoshop processing and slicing. Simple styled header, footer and subheaders.
Text-boxes and background texture are included, you may choose this option if you'd like.
Text-boxes and background texture are included, you may choose this option if you'd like.
Gallery layout
10
A matching layout for your gallery – header, background, thumb frames.
Header
3-10
Depending on complexity. May include your name written in a unique font and styled, various effects, elements you'd like to combine.
Footer
3-10
The same options as for the header.
Subheader decoration
2-5
Depends on complexity. This may be a simple image next to the subheader, or a background that makes it a rival to the journal header itself.
Thumb frames
2
A CSS decoration around your thumbnails in journal and gallery.
Menu
2
A menu styled with CSS only.
Button image
3
An image with hover effect. One can be used for all menu items, or each link can have it's own. The price of each unique image is 3$.
Examples
To give a better idea of how much can be charged for each element, here's the calculation of some of my public skins' value:
And the value of the layout I use in my own journal and gallery:
- Base - 20$
- Header - 3$
- Menu - 2$
- Buttons - (3 menu buttons + "Comments" button) x 3$ = 12$
- Thumb frames - 2$
- Thumb description - 2$
- Gallery - 10$
