[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. 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 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.

Rae and Mel

Oooh! Our turn!:yay!

Mee, what do you think of foggy winter tones? I love these colors :design seeds | color fog | for all who ♥ color

[miranstarr]

Ooooh, those are pretty! Do we want to go for the lighter tones?

[love on the brain]

Yeah, I really like the first 3 colors on that palette. Did you have any colors in mind? Or pics

[miranstarr]

No, I think these colors are good because they have tones of blues in them too! I'm partial to #2 and #3.

As for pics, I just know they need the beard.

[miranstarr]

There used to be some HQ of the Sharp photoshoot, but I can't find them anymore.

thank you kristine

[Summer Falls]

Yes ! love doing this i sayni love the fog colour palette something new and for the Photoshoots the ones you have chosen are good can we do a mixture of beard and non beard?

[looking at the stars]

I think it would be better to stick with one style of his since it is more consistent for the banner just my opinion.
