Hello D-Toid Community,
I am currently working with a colleague of mine on a front end application for selecting MAME roms for play in a custom arcade cabinet we are also building. We both have tremendous programming skill, though we are a tad lacking in the artistic department.
What I ask is if anyone is willing to lend a hand in coming up with some retro style, gaming related-ish backgrouds and button icons for our UI.
I've include for reference what I was able to mock up quickly - it's terrible I know - but the goal here is to select a sorting mode on the left, display a subset of selections on the right, and when the selection is confirmed, move on to a more sorted screen, with titles, screenshots, and descriptions.
Note that any retained designs will be fully commended (details to follow - (not $$ btw)), and the resulting product will be made available to the community at large.
Thanks guys!

Say away from using a picture and then trying to make the interface work within it. It usually doesn't come out well. Don't be afraid to have an orderly interface. Most of the time your users will be more appreciative of a clean and easy interface then a snazzy looking one.
Just kidding, I've designed things for much less, like ninja stickers. I may design something for you along Tornotlukin's specifications, cause the man knows what he's talking about *respek knuckles*
