Board Recustomization

Hi everyone ,

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, Catia or Chelle 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, Catia and Chelle

That's a shame . I see that too as the most recent I found was from 2011 or 2010 which would make the graphic quite old. Not sure if there's more recent ones on a different site? Or even how old the pictures in your current graphic are?

If there was a third picture & we had no other recent choices we could use these which are at least from 2015 but there's only the two pics on that site

We try not to use appearances wherever possible but if we have no other choice we might be able to use these from March 2016 or these from December 2016. Looking at the ones from this year I don't think they'd be usable, maybe these but I feel like JDM would be in the way & there's no solo pics of her there. I don't know how usable they'll be, they are a lot harder to use & often the lighting is awful as its all different between the pictures but we can try if you're happy with them? Up to you what you'd rather see us do really

I know it is a shame as a fan i want more lol so much more

Those photo shoots that you have used were the ones i was going to suggest it the only good ones we have .. can we use movie shoots? Cause i think that would be the most recent .

The banner one is from her time in White Collar that was back in 2014

I do like this shoot .. its really old but it is nice - John Russo - Salon (2009)

Otherwise we got promo from movies - the summer villa ( 2016 ) , Suprised By Love ( 2015 )

If we can use public events we might need to go back cause she is usually with JDM
I do like this there is some solo photos you could use again it is old - ' Magic City' Premiere

Colour wise , we have done purple and this is orange would love a change again . Depands on which oneyou choose for shoot but i do like these theme colours

^ Of those color choices, I like the last one most. It seems like most boards are green/blue though. I'd like something outside the norm, but I do like the last one Petra posted in case it's the only thing that would translate well to FF.

Would any of these work or are the colors too different?

Personally I'm leaning toward the last two options, but I'm not sure how they'd actually look on here. I also like the idea of steering away from too much orange or purple since its been done before. Wouldn't mind if we used purple accents though and pinks instead of the peachy color we have now.

Also agree with all of Petra's pic choices! Especially the last one, if it's possible. If not, I like the idea of using images of her from her more recent Hallmark movies. Are there any LW stills we could use?

Any of those colour palettes would work. We just try not too go too bright in colours and too dark since it can be harsh on the eyes, other than that. You can pick whatever colour scheme you'd like.

^ Understandable, I've been on dark boards in the past and they weren't pleasant to the eye. I like softer colors in general so that's fine with me. We'll see what the other posters think.

The current banner may be from White Collar but it has to be from at least 2011 as that's when the board was last done. I wouldn't recommend looking at pictures from before then as that wouldn't be giving you an updated look which rules out all her photoshoots

I haven't looked at your colours but those are completely up to you & it doesn't matter which pictures are used just so you know

We can use movie shoots but I'm not sure that there were any usable ones as I was looking in there too. The Summer Villa might have some but I don't think so

This is exciting Hopefully there is something recent that is usable.

I'm so glad, I love Hil and want it updated!

I wish she had a recent photoshoot but I'd like to see some photos with the blonde hair if possible.

These ones are probably possible to make a banner out of?

as for colors we had purple the past.... i dont mind the orange but I'm not sure it really fits Hilarie either. i love the grey/turquoise idea. i dont think green fits hilarie really...

^ Same here. I'm actually not a fan of the colors on the Ellen board. I wouldn't want something like that here. And I agree about green not really being Hilarie. I kind of like the last two I posted with the yellows and pinks. Hil has been posting a lot of flowers lately so I think something like that would suit her.

I'll post them again:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...4fe015d3ae.jpg
http://colorpalettes.net/wp-content/...palette-21.jpg

Do you guys like those? I want everyone to be happy with the colors we choose since we all post here. Maybe we could even combine some of the colors we like from each one. Or just find something completely different.

If anyone finds any other color palette's they like, please post them.

ETA: Okay I found some more.

These combine the yellows and pinks:

More of the blue/pink:

i dont like green or pink, i dont see that for her at all. i think purple fits her better than those options.

^ I like those. The colors may be a bit too dark for FF though. Maybe we could do something like that in a lighter version?

I know we talked about staying away from purple though. That's why I was looking more at the pinks/yellows/blues. What do you think Petra?
