A still unresolved area of research and interest to me is how to get high quality graphical treatments on dynamic content. When you see a striking high quality web design, it is invariably a static page or small set of pages. Applying a theme to a CMS as is done here in this adaptation of the mediwiki CMS doesn't create a similar impression of art.
'''Jackson''' (A Jacket responsive UI for my web space) represents a working version of my latest effort on this front.

About Look and Feel

canned skinning resources

Free, convertible to your proprietary asset with a PHPCMS and appropriate IP service:

Priced, ©, and/or need a a proper graphics artist for best result in use extended to a whole application:

custom UX resources

Original artisinal treatments are typically $3-5K per mock and up. Can subcontract that out or work with your resource.
In that case I provide wireframed function the 3rd party delivers the final product.


The Flash Resume cube ('Web Portfolio') has some pre-2011 high quality graphical treatments I maintained but didn't create.

The relation between graphics and IT is much deeper in my overall work history than the above may indicate.
More on this in my web:

¹ Contact gardener or we can subcontract with your selected one if available.
² Subscription based, you can download while subscribed.

To be clear, I'm a programmer, systems integrator, software engineer, whatever, not a graphics artist or visual designer. As of 2011-09, while everything current in my space is arranged and composed by me, I can't even draw but don't see what that has to do with software. As for the role of design in software, my position is same as the Winograd quote in the last link below.

Although I can do the quality of "design" work which you see, and which I without any deprecation whatsover refer to as "superficials", Gyrony is a design freelancer I can partner with if you have a multi-person budget and need this kind of work done. Resource limitations from my focus on software and function mean I am not going to be able to do better than you see in my self-produced space except by collaboration with another such worker. Even Don Knuth had a collaborator (Duane Bibby) that did the illustrations in the TeX Book.

Don't have time for this and am concentrated on software. However to some extent this is a software issue and it's deeply intertwined with software as in drupal or theming systems. The C-六 link shows existing free drupal themes I've adapted in anticipation of more detailed graphical treatments by others.

Jackson (A Jacket responsive UI for my web space) represents a working version of my latest effort on this front.
