I've been meaning to release this stuff for a while, it's just that around the time I finish any design project, I'm sick to the gills of looking at it. Even just opening the Photoshop files to check the color profile is nauseating. Nonetheless, Falak asked, so everyone receives.
here's the Sandbox *.PSD's, for use promoting the Sandbox theme for wordpress. Included are the yellow and gray gradient versions, and the solid color file. there's also the original PDF of the sandbox outline, printed from AutoCAD. probably not the most attractive vector file ever. I have a strange monitor profile, which usually monkeys with the way files display for other people. the wp-sndbx image should look like this, not like scott's. I saved them without the profile this time around, so it should be okay. If it's not, yell at me in the comments.
I've also been meaning to release the *.PSD files from Walk in the Shadows, since it does little good to develop a non-PHP theme as GPL, and only open-source the CSS. Well, it depends on how graphically intensive your theme is. Promised Land uses 2 images, which come from an image I no longer have the PSD for.
My workflow seems to differ a bit from most designers', as I understand it. I do my initial layout in CSS, in browser, and then size my PSD according to the width that I need. The document is only tall enough to accommodate the elements I'll be exporting. I don't see much point in organizing type in a graphics editor. The design happens in my head, or on paper, so I don't need to look at the whole page to see whether it works.

Adam would it be possible to have you put your sandbox downloads under a specific tag or something? I have been around the net and it seems that you have some great Sandbox CSS links, but I personally had a little trouble finding them all when playing around! Thanks for putting things up as it really helps those with no design ideas!
sort of. the problem being that some of the skins are for sandbox 0.6.1, some for 0.6.1-wpcom, and some for sandbox 0.9/1.0
the ones for wp.com are all tagged customCSS, and there are more by not (that) ugly and others under the same tag on wp.com.
All actively maintained sandbox skins for wordpress.org (sandbox 0.9-1.0) are listed with my wordpress themes, since they install the same as any other.
any theme that isn’t listed under those two isn’t actively maintained. The latest promise is that sandbox 1.0 will be on wordpress.com within 24 hours. I have no faith left in sandbox 1.0 promises, but if it happens, then there will be a substantial benefit to a merged/updated list.
Thanks Adam, even now knowing the CustomCSS tag is going to help ‘navigationally challenged’ people like myself
happy to help. you can also check it out in the forums, there are a few more skins there.
