Hi, I have a website that has skins for homepages. The skins are really cool and I've done 50 skins in the last few weeks. I'm all skinned out and am looking for an artist that would like to make more skins since I offically have reached creative burnout.
For a programmer, creative burnout comes pretty quick.
1) Here is the site:
http://www.homepagepal.com
2) Here you can browse the current skins:

3) Here is where you can learn how to make a skin and submit a skin. Download the example ZIP file.

Of coarse I pay money, and making skins is really easy. It's just 4 images and maybe a CSS file. I can make a skin in about 20 minutes.
I would like to know how much someone would charge to make 50 or so skins. Off the top of my head, I am thinking only about $5 per skin (hey it's only 1 image, a background, and two text images).
Since I can make 3 an hour, that would be $15 bucks an hour. If you make a whack of them on Saturday, you could make $150 no problem.
Does that sound reasonable? Maybe you can look at how easy/difficult it is to make a skin and say yes you'll do it, or say I'm out of my tree. I'm probably out of my tree. I have done 50 skins. So it isn't that tough.
