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.
Nice work OP, looks much better then the original already! Keep it up, ill be following this:)
Regards,
TH.
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. Thanks for the feedback so far guys, I'm actually considering changing the rounded rectangles radius since it's a dark themed GUI.
OP you should probably add a exit button, on the design

Needs more skype blue. It's skype, after all.
Posting so I can follow this, GL OP
You have to give up what you are, for what you will become.
Looks awesome!
I'd like to use it once it's complete 🙂

Looks nice, good job. I've changed the image's textbox's to have a 3px radius, I plan on changing the sign-in button's radius as well when I get home from school.

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.
Not available for work at this time. Apologies for any inconveniences.
