The purpose of this contest is to get a really nice design, to be used as a premium drupal theme, and to scout for hot designer talent for future work.

Take a look over at 99designs (from Sitepoint) to read the details and following the contest: http://99designs.com/contests/5944

No! I haven't posted on the blog in a while, but fact is I'm busier than ever and the stuff I'm working on is something that is going to change the landscape of Drupal theming greatly.

Besides doing client work, I have been working on premium Drupal themes to be sold on ADT. As far as I know, 2 other companies are doing the same thing. One of them is SEO Position, and the other is a new company that is going to take on the theme shortage with a huge effort, let's call this new start-up TNT for now. You'll learn more about them in the near future. (ps TNT is not owned by me).

The themes line of ADT is going to cater the market for omnipotent highly flexible themes that come with a high degree of configurability and generic but extendible designs, while the other 2 are going to provide a collection of niche templates.

I have no view on when ADT is going to launch it's premium themes but it's going to be at least 2 months, the first theme is still in an early stage of development (design), but the concept and technolgy is already tried and tested.  

With this blog post I'm launching my new website, alldrupalthemes.com . I made this site firstly, because I've heard many complaints about Drupal having comparatively very few goodlooking themes. The second reason for making this site is that I have used drupal and it's modules so much without being able to give much in return, as my php skills are not (yet) sufficient to write good standards-compliant modules.

Whats on alldrupalthemes.com now:

• 5 free Drupal themes
• 1 Drupal Tutorial

Whats coming up the coming 2-3 weeks:

• plenty more tutorials, some more advanced theming topics probably
• 2 more themes, a port of Delicious Fruit by Dieter Schneider, which is an excellent example of a Drupal site that doesn't look like a cookie-cutter CMS site! and a port of Judgement, a free theme that will demonstrate that with some advanced theming, drupals frontend and backend output can be displayed in a slick looking envelope-size brochure website design.
• Request-a-theme form
  

Please keep in mind that this site and the themes are brand new and not tested by anyone but me. If you find any bugs in the site, or in the themes, please use the contact form. Any feedback is much appreciated! I will also submit these themes to project/Themes (once I figure out how that works).
