Theme Creation Advice

[kingb33]

Just some advice for all theme creators. When creating a theme that is in a series...Street Fighter, SFAlpha, KOF, Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug, etc etc

it would be better if people used the artwork that was released for that "particular" release in the series...it keeps the theme more pure.

For example, KOF 96 art style and art resources and different than that of KOF 2000. Bill's upcoming KOF set is a perfect example of this visually.

Now i know art isnt always readily available for certain games but the quality of your theme will show if you take to the time to search and exhaust that option first. Google is your friend.....

Just my 2 cents... I'll be throwing out some themes of my own when HyperTheme is released.

thx!

just FYI

i was a web / graphic designer way back in the day.....and ive been a Manager now for awhile of a web dev team at my company that has 3 designers on it....just so u wont be like, who is he to preach??...lol

Billy is giving out Hypertheme to those who ask. If your that excited about making a theme send him a pm. Or me. Im sure he wont mind.

Id love to see what your "google skillz" can come up with.

hopefully i can find the time to make original ones instead of editing existing ones

haha no...but i do have 2 little girls and im a single father, so it's tough....

but i do plan on making some original ones if HyperTheme makes it easy enuff....

im trying to get used to using Flash again....been a loooong time. and i only have a trial version....its too expensive to buy now since adobe bought them out
