[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

Yeeees, Ed.

Those look great.

[bring me home]

!!!!

I'll look at those when I'm home from work!

I can't wait!

[where we belong]

This is amazing

Thanks Rae and Mel

I loved those choices a lot, Yvonne. I need to check for more possible ones

[bring me home]

Seriously..this is going to be impossible

[sweet creature]

Maybe think about colors first? I think a soft green board would fit Ed.

[bring me home]

I"m terrible with that!

But I do think soft green would work. I feel like we gotta make sure his hair isn't super read if that make sense

[where we belong]

Oh, a soft green would look great. It would match the theme of Multiply as well.

But when it comes to art, I'm not the best one with the ideas

[sweet creature]

You mean that his hair doesn't look super red? That makes sense to me, Jenn. And yea, that's something we can be careful with once we color the pics a little.

^ Do you like any of these color schemes? We could use colors from more than one of them if you like.

We could saturate the colouring a bit on it so it doesn't clash with the colouring if the pictures turn out to be that way.

[looking at the stars]

love them Catia. I'd love to mix 2 and 3 for it since 2 might go very well with his hair

[bring me home]

I love all those color schemes! This is going to be hard!

[sweet creature]

Aww.

Would you be happy if we used any of those photoshoots that Yvonné linked? Or are there others we should keep in mind?

[bring me home]

The pics I really like...his head is cut off.

I'm going to look some more tonight and at the ones Yvonne posted
