Board Recustomisation
 
Hi everyone :wave:,

The Fan Forum Graphics Team is in the process of (re)customising message boards and now it's your turn!

If you have any picture or colour suggestions please post them in this thread. Don't post (hotlink) the pictures, links to them are fine. Make sure that the pictures are of as high quality as possible and that the top of the head of the person in the picture isn't cropped off. We also like to use photoshoot images when possible, preferably individual pictures of each cast member. When suggesting colours please keep in mind that some colours will work better than others. The Team usually tries to avoid really vibrant and dark colours because we have found in the past that they are hard to look at for long periods of time. If you would like some help coming up with colour combinations we recommend checking out the design seeds website.

Everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions for this as you are the ones who will be posting on the board and we hope to make as many people happy with the finished result as possible. It does not matter if you are a board moderator, regular poster, or casual poster here. If you have a suggestion, please share it here with us :).

Your suggestions for possible pictures and colours will be taken into serious consideration, but in the interest of seeing every board receive the best customised look possible the final decision concerning how this board will be customised will be made by the members of the Graphics Team. This is because we want to make sure that the selected graphic and colours fit into the overall design scheme that we've established for Fan Forum.

For a full explanation of the message board customisation process, see this thread. If you have any questions, please feel free to send Mel, Chelle, or Rora a PM or ask the Team on the message board customisation thread.

Please leave this topped until a week or so after the board has been (re)customised.

Note: It usually takes less than two weeks for us to finish making the new banner and the sooner we know what you want, the more we can work on it (though it can take a few months or so to set it up with the new colours on the board), so please let us know your suggestions as soon as possible.

When the Team have made and voted on a winning graphic I will close this thread until the graphic and colours get put up. It will then be re-opened so that you can share your thoughts about it.

Mel, Chelle, and Rora :flowers:

Awesome! I am sure my co mod and I can come up with something everyone will like.

shinebrighterxx 07-15-2018 10:25 PM

We welcome & encourage suggestions from all posters, not just the moderators of the board :)

Damocles 07-16-2018 05:28 PM

Yay, thanks!

I for some reason kind of associate this show with blues and greens, not sure why. Maybe something along those lines?

I have to think about the banner!

shinebrighterxx 07-16-2018 05:40 PM

I think of brown/green for the desert area personally but i don't post here :lol:. If you take a look at the design seeds website linked in the OP you might find something you like :)

I imagine you would want all the same characters in the banner? It'd be hard to find reason to cut any. Unless you just wanted the aliens (3 or 4), Liz & Maria? But seems wrong & leaving off great characters to me

kostilicious 07-17-2018 12:57 AM

Do you guys know anything about hte new show yet?
I mean is it possible there would be a new board or will it be discussed here?
Would you like to include the new show in the banner also if the show would be discussed here and not on their own board?

shinebrighterxx 07-17-2018 01:05 AM

The new show isn't until midseason (so end of this year/start of next year) so there wouldn't be anything available to use for the new show. If you do want to be inclusive of the new show we can close this & come back at the start of next year. However, as far as I'm aware the new show will be being included in the midseason poll at the end of the year as an option for a new board. Personally I'm considering it as a separate show to this as its a whole new show (same as Charmed) so it doesn't come into consideration for me when it comes to this boards recustomisation right now. Another option is that we do this board now & then come back to it again sooner if you at a later date become the board for both shows & wish to be inclusive of that. All you'd have to do there is contact me & we'll take that request into consideration & see where we could fit it in :)

kostilicious 07-17-2018 03:34 AM

ah sorry, my fault.. I thought it would be already on this fall..
thanks also for clarifying the board stuff :hug:

shinebrighterxx 07-17-2018 03:39 AM

Nope, they're holding it off for midseason as far as I know. Then I don't think even the fall ones have pictures yet anyway?

Damocles 07-18-2018 08:03 PM

I personally would assume there would be an entirely different board for the new show, and I'd prefer to keep any characters from that show off this banner :nod:

I also can't find reason to cut anyone!

I kind of like the "cycle" colours here:
https://www.design-seeds.com/autumn-issue-no-2/

shinebrighterxx 07-18-2018 09:46 PM

Thanks for confirming for the new show :flowers:. As far as I know the new one will at least be added in a poll to get a board :nod:. Don't know if the interest will be here for it to happen but that's a different story. If this board does end up as the place to discuss it & there's interest in adding the new characters in let us/me know & we can look at redoing the board again :). I imagine there's some dislike towards the remake here though so also completely understand not wanting them in the graphic or even discussing the show much here


I know SpoilerTV has pics but do you know any other good sites with promotional pictures from the show? Any picture or season preferences for them?

Is this the colour scheme you like? That's pretty & would be easy on the eyes :sigh:

YES ONLY ONE Board PLEASE for the Original Roswell! We were hear first lets keep it that way! :D


The new show has a new cast, and a totally new storyline and concept then our beloved show! Plus it has a different name anyway! It's called Roswell New Mexico! So they can have their NEW and OWN board!

I love the colors! I am thinking maybe orange and gold. It reminds me of the colors used in the title opening for Roswell.

It only makes sense if the new show does have a following, for it have it's own board since as it was said... it has it's own name.

In terms of color. Some form of orange would be good. Once upon a time wasn't the board orange and black? I am only going on memory... I believe the last one before this one was purple...

But some form of orange would be good. Or maybe red, if they might for the colors... But I am fine with anything...

Season One DVD .. Orangie/Black/Redish…almost burnt orange.

Damocles 07-19-2018 07:10 PM

The original board had a dark background and was kind of orangey/brown (I have a screencap if anyone cares).

I personally DESPISE orange, but if everyone else likes it that's ok with me!

And yes Chelle that's the one I was looking at :nod:

shinebrighterxx 07-19-2018 07:44 PM

We no longer do darker boards so that aspect of the previous colour scheme won't be replicated. We also prefer to avoid red whenever possible and black is almost exclusively only used for the text in posts. We can however incorporate orange/burnt orange shades into the new colour scheme if that's what you would like :). We may even be able to make it work with the colour scheme Lisa suggested if others like that one?

Roswell 10/2/00 07-19-2018 09:16 PM

Maybe a gold and silver color combo might be better if orange is a no go. :D

Jasper1975 07-20-2018 06:10 AM

My only thing would that it would be close to what we have now... or at least the gold...

I am open to anything... But how about a nod to our show about aliens...

A combo of light green (the energy our aliens exibited or their green DNA) and Silver, of course what were the shell of the aliens Michael saw in Summer of '47. Or what is common for aliens... away from their human personoa...

The green doesn't have to be too dark. Lighter...

It would be something different. If it's possible and looks okay with the silver...

shinebrighterxx 07-20-2018 06:39 PM

I would suggest looking through the design seeds website to see if there's anything there you like. Or seeing if you can make your own colour sceme to show the sort of colours you are thinking

Lisa had suggested this colour scheme which is more blue/grey & brown
Doing a quick look I saw this one which is more green & grey but may not be the shades you were thinking
Then this one feels a little like a mix of both

Was there any picture preferences or are you happy for the team to use whichever work best? I know Isabel & Marie at least change hair styles during the season so not sure if things like that make you have a preference of promotional pictures from a certain season?

Damocles 07-20-2018 08:18 PM

I love both those links you posted too, but I'm easy :lol:

I personally wouldn't mind pics of the characters from season one - not sure about everyone else?

shinebrighterxx 07-20-2018 09:01 PM

:)

I had some more time & found a few more:
Succulent Hues
Colour Nature
Fresh Hues
Colour Tiled
Colour Shore
Coastal Hues
Still Tones (possibly with some green added?)
Foraged Hues

Roswell 10/2/00 07-20-2018 09:35 PM

I am pretty easy with color scemes as well. I love the Succulent Tones ones you picked I also like the still tones one as well.

As far as images of the cast go I do like the cast photo we have now. It includeds pretty much everyone in the cast and shippers are happy because everyone is pretty much represented.

Any cast photos from season 1 and 2 I like as well.

Jasper1975 07-21-2018 08:50 AM

Great colors. I also probably prefer the Succulent Tones the best...

In terms of the cast picture. The one we have works because it has everyone... and good representation.

shinebrighterxx 07-21-2018 04:08 PM

The picture will be different as we use individual pictures of the characters (as we did with your current one). I was simply asking if there was a preference for which season we get those pictures from not which characters you want ;) (I've seen the show so I know everyone who should be included is in there or at least everyone who was a main except for Jesse - would you want him included?)

naturellebella 07-21-2018 07:33 PM

Most of the characters live their best hair life in Season 2 IMO.

Jasper1975 07-21-2018 08:06 PM

I don't mind Season 3 Max and Liz. Because that is the last look, we know them as of on the show (post the California episodes), when Max is has gotten his hair cut... He doesn't look the greatest with those orange streaks. Liz looked great all season long...

I don't like Michael's haircut in Season 1. Season 2 was okay. Season 3 was a little long, but got quite used to it. So Season 2 is probably better.

Isabel is better as a blonde, so Season 3 is out...

Maria... Season 2 is probably her best look. Although I did like Season 3 until she colors it in the second hair... I didn't like pixie or short look in Season 1.

Kyle, Alex and Tess stayed the same genuinely all the seasons they were involved.

So I guess generally Season 2. Except Max and Liz, Season 3 post California...

But I will be fine with whatever is chosen.
