Help update the look of DD!

Our site looks old fashioned.

We need a re-design of the look and feel of the site, but KEEPING the same functionality. Some of it needs improving but if we keep it, it makes things WAAAY cheaper.

So I want to ask the DD community to please come up with some visual mockups of how the site can look better.
Updated and Modernised!
With a nice new looking front page, forums, user control panel etc.

Think about colour themes, usability, and layout but try not to make things too busy.
Also think about making it a modular design that can work well on different sized screens (mobile, huge TV, tablet).

Here are some concepts for the front page
