I really like the look and feel of http://meta.photo.stackexchange.com

It is so much more aesthetically appealing than that of https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/

(which is basically just using the cookie-cutter- stackexchange design)

I propose that we upgrade graphicdesign.SE to have a better design/ layout.

I think that we can do much better, and a competition would be nice to do as design proposal

I doubt I'll ever do a dark theme on a main site. The Physics site had a dark design and it didn't go too well. I had to pull it after its launch. Meta.Photo was an exception because it was a meta site.

As for the design for this site, it's possible that we may launch its final theme before the site officially graduates. I think it'd help the site's growth since our main users are designers. The "Sketchy" beta theme was purposely designed to make the site look incomplete, but I can understand it may turn off potential new designer users.

    actually it is easier to read because of the high contrast ;)

    +1 @Littlemad : My personal preference is for light on dark too. @Lauren Even if we stick with dark on light, I'm sure we can come up with a much better design than the present one!

    high contrast aside, it should be off black and off white, the two extremes are far too much. The words can appear to "shake"
