professional looking template

I am looking for a designer to design us a template/theme for a website. This design will be used to create a postnuke theme from, so some restrictions apply regarding with and height of elements ... Certain elements must always be found in the design such as header, footer, left block, right block, center block, story block. Here are some examples of the things we have seen on other sites, and some things we like : <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> The last person we hired did a terrible terrible job with our template so we're going to be real strict on selection this time. Show us a link to your portfolio, or links to maximum 5 things you have created for other websites. Do not even bother bidding if your skills are nowhere near what the examples show. - If we find that you have used something copyrighted, we will take it to arbitration immediately. I'm sorry I have to be so strict but I've had bad experiences in the past. - please take a close look at the examples, and don't send us a bid if you know that you can't create anything like that. - Don't waste our time with sending endless portfolio's, just select the 5 best things you've created in the past. -? we will accept someone based on their portfolio, not based on being the lowest bidder.? - if you can show us some artistic stuff you created on pc that's always a pro :) -? you will send us a status report at least once every two days, even if you didn't work on the project ! ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working? photoshop document (.psd)? as well as cascading style sheet (.css)? of all work done. 2) Exclusive and COMPLETE COPYRIGHTS to all work purchased. (No GPL, 3rd party components, stolen images, stolen work, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site). You may NOT use ANY copyrighted stuff, or images or texts from other websites ! All work must be made by YOU, not copied or stolen or whatever. 3)? You will deliver an adobe photoshop document .psd containing all the graphics used, nicely layered piece by piece. You will slice it and cut it, and export the images, so we can see the html preview. You will also be required to deliver a .css cascading style sheet, created by you, with the fonts that fit in nicely with the template. ## Platform 1. Adobe Photoshop 2. Html (& css)
