Professional Website Design Needed for Gaming Community

I need a professional design for my gaming community. It should be written in PHP and use a MySQL database. The portal page should be able to read news from a specific vBulletin sub-forum and display it on the main page as well as caching the news to reduce server load. It should also display on a block/sidebar the latest forum posts, polls from a specific vBulletin sub-forum, online users on the forums and support the ability to add custom content to sidebars. The portal should also have a back-end for administration and it should be hardened against sql injection attacks. The Graphic design should be similar to other gaming websites ([login to view URL] , [login to view URL] , etc.). The logo i currently use for my community is above this description and i would like the design to blend with it. I was thinking of a nuclear theme with crumbling walls, rusted metal, warning lights, air horns, etc. The graphics should not be from a template site like template monster. I want it to be original. The level of detail i want for the graphics is rather high, so you must be good at graphics. In terms of the level of detail i'm looking for, look at [these screenshots][1] of the game "Fallout 2". Those screenshots portray the level of detail im looking for (burnt wires, faded paint, rusted/dented metal). I am open to suggestions though regarding the general theme of the design. I do not want any of the main elements to use flash - but depending on the design we agree on some elements can use it (like recent forum posts). I would also like a matching vBulletin forum style (based off the default vBulletin style). You can see my site at [[login to view URL]][2] **_P.S.
