[room to breathe]

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 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 colors get put up. It will then be re-opened so that you can share your thoughts about it.

OMG really? I'm so bloody excited

[Drunk On You]

How exciting.

[madness]

So are there any colours you already have in mind, or suggestions of things that should be included?

[fire for a heart]

yay that's exciting

[Stay to the Lights]

Yeah, we should start thinking of some colours. Hm.. anyone have anything particular in mind?

[Drunk On You]

I can't think of any colors.

[xlennie]

Hmmm, what is a bookish color?

[Stay to the Lights]

Hm.. lets think about books in general, the colours you tend to see, even on the hardbacks when you take the cover off.

I feel like a dark redish?

Looking at my books, I see lots of reds, dark blues, even pinks and deep greens are a popular colours.

[room to breathe]

Are there any images you would like to see in the graphic?

[Drunk On You]

I think blue or the deep green would be pretty.

Maybe graphics of different formats of books? Paper and pen or something similiar for writing.

[Stay to the Lights]

Yeah I like that. What about graphics of particular popular books? and definitely something to symbolize writing. Like a pen, paper, or/and computer/typewriter?

[Drunk On You]

Not sure about particular books. Maybe classics though? And a picture of an e reader.

[Stay to the Lights]

Yeah. I wasn't sure about that. I just started to think on other general boards.

Or maybe just books in general, nothing special? an e-reader, definitely. Maybe like a hardcover, paperback and e-reader?

This is cool

Or something all together like that?

Maybe we can have it mixture of classical books and tech books since many people use both?
