Hi all,
For some time I've had an idea in my head for a great skin and finally I've come around sketching it and researching if it's possible.
Although I'm not that experienced with skinning from the ground up and not that good with photoshop/indesign (haven't used it for years) I got a full vacation and nothing to do basically.
So decided to share my idea to see what you guys think and maybe can give me some advice
The sketch attached on this post is real basic and shows only the basic functionality of the home screen.
My goal is a clean skin, with grey/black/neutral tints and not the aluminium placeholder buttons although that can be made an option later on theme.
What the sketch is not showing: I thought it was a good idea when pressing up you get back to the fullscreen tv/video stream or photo gallery and down for forward/nackward/stop/play buttons as most skins have these buttons accessible from the home screen.
I know it's a bit rough but I hope it gives a good idea what I'm looking into, also I got a lot in my head for the rest of the skin but for now I want to get the homescreen done.
Skins also using the carousel effect for research purposes:
- xTV lite for original xbox
- Influence mod for Dharma
