What do you think is the best way of making forum skins? I'm planning a site now, and would like to have +/- 10 skins avalible when it launches. I don't have photoshop, and I run a mac, so there isnt much i can do when it comes to graphic design. I do have Dreamweaver though.
 
Yeah, I just don't have a spare $400 to buy photoshop with 🙁
Is there anything online that can open .psd's?
My school has CS, so when I gt a windows computer I can "try out" their version on my ccomputer.
 
I have a mac, so I don't have Notepad. Is it just a text editor, because I have one of those on my computer.
 
Any text editor is fine for designing websites, you can even code a website in Microsoft Word.

Only things you really need to know when making a forum style is Graphic Design, HTML and CSS. If you don't know them, don't bother as you'll get nowhere.
 
i could help you on http://skinned.site50.net/index.php i can't make you 10 skins really quickly or in a good amount of time because it's just me but i am sure I can get 1-2 done in 1-2 weeks maybe 3 because of time. I do the skins for free as well as mods

I know a good amount of the last two, but are there online graphics websites that don't suck? I may actually be able to get by without knowing graphics, because SMF is mostly text based.
