    Sounds like a spam post to me.

    How about more information on how you intend on generating profit from others' work?

    Ok, more info. I'm a web designer and I have some PSD templates in my hard disk and sometimes I create some PSD files just for fun so instead of store all that files in my computer, I decided to share that files with the community on the internet, and I create this website, so now I invite all the community to do the same thing with you unused PSD files, and get some money from donations via PayPal. Thats all.

    The idea of invite you is to create a useful website to all. So what do you think, you only need PSD files with the layers very well organizated and the community decides, if download the file and if donate some bucks to you as designer.

    You receive all the credit for you work and links to your main website or whatever and the idea of this project is to publish almost all the files that I receive I mean without filters or restrictions, you file only will be rejected if is a totally scary and creepy design or don't have all the layers very well organizated or others HUGE problems.

    So, let me know what do you think, I think is a good idea. See ya!!!

    quick question about these designs, I do Photoshop CS3 and stuff, and make sigs, banners ect. I have had a few goes at websites and one is currently being used by my best mate for his airsoft team.

    Back to the point, all my (very few) designs revolve around one or a few images layerd into dreamweaver, organised and orientated in frames and text layerd over it.

    Are these designs actually ready to run websites with their flash and HTML already made, with just adjustments to text and images, or are they just single image testing themes that show what you will do with the images you make IF you put the HTML behind them?

    These designs contain only the PSD file (single image), if you know html and css you can create an awesome website without the problem of think in the appearance (designer work's).

    A good and very well coded template in HTML/CSS requires more time and work, so put professionals html/css templates for free is not too good for the bussiness, in that case I prefer sell the template and charge for every download.

    My opinion and I hope work with you and publish you PSD files on Zoprit, you can receive donations direct to you PayPal account. See ya!!!

    Nice templates. Just one suggestion about your site though: you might want to seriously consider watermarking your preview images, because you are showing full-size versions. It would be very easy for someone to copy the image and slice it up for their own use (without paying).

    If you don't want to watermark, you could also make the preview images less than 100%. Protect your work...there are a LOT of thieves out there!

    Oops - nevermind. I see that you aren't charging for these templates anyway. You should though...it's ok to give some away for free, but don't be afraid to charge for your best designs.

    I like the idea behind it, but designers can spend a lot of hours on their creations and to have someone donate peanuts, well to me wouldn't work, I value my time and work way to much for that. I think the designer should be able to set their own price.

    Just my opinion :)
