Leighton Meester - Board Recustomization

room to breathe · 01-06-2015, 02:27 PM

Hi everyone ,

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

If you have any picture or color 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 colors 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.

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 colors will be taken into serious consideration, but in the interest of seeing every board receive the best customized look possible the final decision concerning how this board will be customized 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 customization process, see this thread. If you have any questions, please feel free to send Rae or Mel a PM or ask the Team on the message board customization thread.

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

Note: It usually takes less than three 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 colors get put up. It will then be re-opened so that you can share your thoughts about it.

Rae and Mel

I'm so excited for this.

Does anyone have a photoshoot or a color scheme that they want to see?

Exciting!!!!

I'm just going to throw this out there as a suggestion for a photo shoot to use: Marie Claire UK December 2010 issue.

^ I just googled that really quick, and I can tell you right now that it doesn't seem like the most practical one to use.

Unless you can link me to the complete photoshoot and that has better pictures.

I like her Lucky shoot from 2012 Ben Watts for Lucky - Leighton Meester Fan

For board colors I like mint green/teal or periwinkle/teal. No orange or dark colors please.

***madness*** · 01-06-2015, 03:52 PM

Don't worry, we are very against dark colours ourselves and avoid them at all cost.

LittleღMermaid · 01-06-2015, 03:58 PM

I was thinking of the TVD and Twilight boards. Nothing like that.

***madness*** · 01-06-2015, 04:03 PM

Oh no, not to worry about that.

And when you say mint, do you mean like this? Darker? Lighter?

room to breathe · 01-06-2015, 04:03 PM

Those examples are exceptions made due to the darker nature of those board subjects. Dark colours would not fit on this board or with Leighton so you do not have to worry

.

Does Leighton have any recent photoshoots that a few of you love?

That looks good. I like more muted tones.

I don't know if you guys were around or remember it but I thought Emma Watson's board had the prettiest color scheme before it was last re-customized. I'd actually love something similar to that.
