Opposites Attract Challenge

It’s been a while since we had a challenge, so we released a series of polls in the codingcabin discord server to determine what we should do next. After several tiebreaker rounds, we decided to combine the two for an (optional) two part challenge!

Option 1:

Create a theme with a complementary color palette. Complementary colors are pairs of colors found on the opposite sides of the color wheel. You can use this tool to help determine your color palette, just make sure you select  complementary in the sidebar.

Option 2:

Create a theme that is the opposite of your usual style. Not everyone has a specific style, so it’s okay if you can’t think of an exact opposite! The goal of this challenge is to step out of your comfort zone and try something you normally wouldn’t, like making a fansite theme if you’ve never made one before, or using a dark background if most of your themes are light.

You can also use this as an opportunity to explore styles that you don’t see often in themes or have been hesitant to try, like maximalism or brutalism.

You do not have to do both parts of this challenge, but you can if you want! You also do not have to be a member of the server to try the challenge.

Because the theme-making community deserves to come together and build a strong network of cooperation and mutual help, and to fight the lack of active networks that focus on the amazingly talented designers across Tumblr, @baechys  , @themehive , and @grangersdesigns took things into their own hands and created CodingCabin, a Discord server made by theme-makers, for theme-makers.

The server is open for each and every theme-maker, established or just starting out.

What you need to do to join?

1. Have, at least, one code released.
   
2. Reblog this post and send us a message asking for the link to join the server!
   

What you can find in the server?

So many things! Share resources, tips & tricks, help people and get help in return, make new friends, learn new ways of designing things for your upcoming themes, and so much more!

Our team is supported by amazing theme-makers that you definitely know, like @magnusthemes , @espoirthemes , @annasthms , @pegasusthms , @cactusthemes , and others!
