Looking For Skinners To Help With Tutorials
You draw, we write
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
For an artist new to skinning, few things can be more helpful than a step-by-step tutorial walking them through how to create some element of a skin, or learn a new Photoshop trick that could save them hours of time and frustration. The people best suited to providing this knowledge are our community of skinners, the people who spend their free time actually making skins and using the tools.But, as many artists have said to me, just because you can make a skin, doesn't necessarily mean you can explain it or write about it clearly so others can understand.
That's where we can help out. I'm looking for a few skinners to work with to create some new, detailed tutorials to skin things like WindowBlinds, ObjectDock, Icons, WinAmp, Xion, Dreams, Cursors etc. Full tutorials, mini tutorials (i.e how to make just one element of a skin) etc. You provide the pictures and walk me through the steps, I'll write it up and format it for general consumption.
If you're interested, please post a comment below.
(Additionally, if you can't skin, but feel you can write and want to pair up with a skinner to write a tutorial yourself, let us know in the comments too!)

Funny you should say that. I requested the very same thing last year! I didn't get an overwhelming response to my post as you can see: Tutorials for the offline user
MySecret was kind enough to help me out and she and I have since converted many tutorials to PDF for personal use.

i also have a suggestion as well,how about the tuts be either downloadable by clicking on "save page as" but without having to download the posts that are usually below articles,or a printer friendly version or my personal favorite pdf format,basicly something that is the tut only along with the pikkies & no other stuff i.e banners,replies etc.

Sounds good to me,i also have a suggestion as well,how about the tuts be either downloadable by clicking on "save page as" but without having to download the posts that are usually below articles,or a printer friendly version or my personal favorite pdf format,basicly something that is the tut only along with the pikkies & no other stuff i.e banners,replies etc.
That's kinda the point of the wiki, you get just the tutorial by itself, no comments.

If one of the skinners wants to give me a rough step-by-step, I can easily write it up.
