01.Simplistic and minimal
Try to use as little css as possible to create a layout that is easy on the eyes. This should be made specifically for use on text blogs or picture blogs (which you should mention in the description). And don't forget to not use too many colours or fonts- keep it grayscale and imageless, with perhaps the exception of one or more colours and small details.
Entries : haeri's acid drop

02.Old school
Remember when we had those extremely detailed layouts that used images as foundations? You should definitely have a go at this one if you are confident in using photo editors (photoshop, pixlr etc.) to create such graphics like icons and banners but now use them for layouts. Try and use a great colour palette for this and stay away from grays (unless you can make it look good!).
Entries : none yet

03.Shapes
Since CSS3 layouts have become much more dimensional, and even started to replace the use of images. For this one you should use shapes as the main part of the layout, and avoid the use of images.
Entries : none yet

04.Webkit/transitions
This will be a very easy but challenging one since there are so many things you can do with the codes- without bombarding the entire layout with it. This one should be quite self explanatory- just go mad with all the transitions.
Entries : none yet

05.Javascript/jQuery
Css might make a blog very pretty and attractive, but it doesn't have the utilities that javascript and jquery has. Avoid using css and make the foundations of the layout using only javascript or jquery- you might get away with using a bit of css.
Entries : none yet

06.Fonts and colours
This is like the evil twin of the first challenge so for this one you should use matching colours(avoid gray at all times) and fonts from sites like Dafont or Google webfonts.

This is the live song:

I just need the shouting at the front part removed.

If you want the actual song :
http://www.4shared.com/mp3/U-8MaE0C/Big_Bang_-_Last_Farewell.htm

Maybe if you cant remove the shouting then you can edit the front part of the actual song and piece it together with the live song if that's possible.

And if possible, you can edit the live song till 0:56 where the girl stops singing the chorus.

Design an image skin. All by yourself.

The skin needs to have at least 40% images (I'm not counting in the images that are placed along with sidebar contents, such as profile + avatar) or in other words, it needs to have an image header and a sidebar/entries space with background or header+navigations+body background, at least. Header has to contain at least one image, brush and font. If you're doing a navigational skin, make the navigations in image format, not with html.

If you don't own Photoshop, you can download Gimp, which is not completely awesome like Photoshop, but it's the most similar freeware software. Of course, you can find resources on Deviantart, but not use somebody else's image.

So I have an idea of another challenge regarding colours and these are the rules :
→ You can only use ONE colour- no more but you can also use grayscale colours as well as rgba values for more variety. Images should be kept to a minimum and I suggest that you use a colour from colourlovers with the colour as the title of the skin.

Enjoy!

Athough they do leave opinions and criticism, they are obviously biased towards those substandard skins (you know what i am referring to).
I know I cannot judge and comment on other's opinions but this is what I have been observing, and maybe this is why the standards of layouts nowadays are dropping.
