The Skin Review
Wednesday, July 28, 2004 by Hus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have an idea I want to run by you guys. I want to start a group that will rate and review skins. Now, not just your random rating and comment, a very thorough review, with detailed explanations as to why, what, where and when. Also, it MUST require atleast 3 very knowledgeable people. Each person being an expert in his/her field, thus being able to give a better explanation. Here's an example...
We would rate a skin on categories...
Originality
Graphics
Assembly
First person would rate the overall skin design and it's originality. The 2nd person would be a graphics expert, and thus be able to rate the graphics quality properly. The 3rd person would rate on how the skin was put together, if any bugs, etc, so that person must be efficient in building skins. Average the 3 ratings and you get the final rating. We could do it weekly, like the Weekly Review and highlight one skin, and give it the rundown.
If you guys want to try and do something like this, post your thoughts. I figured we would first start out with Windowblind skins and branch out from there. So for a well-rounded review, we would need a Skin-Studio expert, and a graphics expert. I would be the "Originality" expert...
This is just the base idea, if it does get off the ground, we would probably make a JoeUser account and post links in the comments section of the skins we rate. Maybe once the new WC is here, we could have it right here on WC.

I think that if I was on the bubble of making premium suites and there was a review organisation/committee that had built up a decent reputation for their review work, then I'd be wanting them to review my up and coming premium stuff, because that would be a plus for my stuff, hence a gratis copy for the reviewers wouldn't be an issue for me.....I don't know how other skinners would feel about it.

I just bought the Carbonix suite, and it has to have the coolest skins I've ever used in it! People need to know about those other skins! These are incredible! We need to review these! Its incredible! Wow, thats alot of exclamation marks, but geez, this is good stuff. That should be the first one reviewed.
