So. I was thinking on what to do for this contest, and it had me stumped for awhile. I came across three strict idea's:
-EDGE Gold Theme
-A "Nintendo-Like" Theme
-Abstract Theme
The first idea, it seemed really good, considering this is to see the beautiful themes made by others. But then I saw the others. And there are some incredible themes that are on this topic. But then it hit me, while browsing through what other people had done. 'What's the point of making a gold theme, when only 60 people will actually have a golden EDGE?' So, basically, that question turned me off from the EDGE Gold Theme idea.
Then, the Nintendo-Like Theme. I tried for awhile to get this to work, and while I was making it, it seemed pretty awesome. I make the background, and some objects on it. It looked pretty nice. But then I stuck it on the EDGE Editor, and unfortunately for me, I could not get the colors I used to work. The words were completely swallowed by the picture, and you could not read the text. [Trust me - I tried what seemed like hundreds of colors.] :/
So, then I took my final idea. The Abstract idea. I've always liked these abstract themes, they always seem so nice, for some reason [At least to me.] So I started this theme, and after several hours, it finally took some shape. I think it looks nice, but if you don't, I'd love to hear why. So yeah, here's my entry for this contest. Whether I win, or I lose, it was great fun making a theme, [for my first time, too.]

So there's the theme I did. I had some trouble on coming up with a name, so I just stuck to something simple - Blueish. I tried pretty hard to get all the colors to work together, and since I kept with two colors, and 2 shades, it seems to work. Woo. =D
