Skype GUI Re-design (Sign-in Screen) - Skylar™ - Oct 15, 2014
Hey guys, now that I have a beastly gaming computer I'm getting back into graphic design and I love it! I can let my imagination flow into Photoshop and not have to worry about my RAM or processor being too slow or not enough! I plan on creating a GUI re-design for the popular instant messaging network Skype. I only have the login screen done and I plan on completely re-doing every aspect of Skype's GUI. I know it isn't much but does this concept look fitting for Skype? I'll be updating this thread constantly until the project is complete.

It looks pretty damn neat, although I'm not a fan of rounded inputs, but rather 2-3px rounded inputs.
Looks nice, good job.

Looks nice, good job.

Looks nice, good job.

You didn't really re-design the ui though, you just skinned it darker....

it's usually more important to fulfill the client than yourself. Unless you're into fine art.
