Board Customisation

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 Rae or Mel 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.

Rae and Mel

Opinions on color scheme and who all to put on the graphic (including HQ photos if available) would help us a bunch!

I know there are pictures here. I have no idea if there are other promotional pictures or if any of those characters should not be included as I know nothing about the show. Those are just the pictures I found when checking which shows had pictures while figuring out which boards to add to what round .

I found some more here. It's just headshots... Not sure if you could use them at all

Otherwise I couldn't find others as well...

And I think they all should be in the banner... Besides Mayfair She died in the season finale but still feels like such a big part of the show. I really am not sure what to do about her. What do you guys think?

ETA - About the color scheme I have something I'd like to see in that color scheme but I'm sure it won't look good. I really love these opening credits of Blindspot sooo much. And maybe it's somehow possible to create a color scheme that match the opening credits? If not (and I really can imagine it looking horrible, honestly) it's not a problem at all. But that's right now the only idea I have because it's really hard for me to associate a color scheme with the show other than that one. Here is a gif-set of the opening credits:

Either cast photos, work for me I think we should include Mayfair but then again, idk cause she did die already in the first season maybe if we do include her put her way in the back. I think Jane and Kurt should but up front and center and then from there it doesn't matter who is next to them and what order (except if we include Mayfair).

I was thinking the same about the colors except with red for some color. I like this or even this color scheme. I think it comes close to the opening credits right?! Let me know what you guys think!

We can certainly try to add a splash of red. I love the 2nd color scheme you posted, Jo!

For me it definitely would be the second color scheme as well. Although I think that Rae could be able to come up with something that's even closer to the opening credits. I know that Rae is just stunning in what she's doing! I totally count on her and I'm happy that you liked the idea of using the opening credits as some kind of base for the color scheme

The 2nd one was my first choice! I love it from the first time I saw it.

I totally see a colour scheme in the credits and would happily work with that. (I have not looked at your suggested colour schemes yet). Would you like me to put together a colour scheme based on the credits (with a splash of red)?


ETA: I had a play and there are so many possibilities there. You have your flesh colours, and then blues, purples, and greys making up the inky drawings in it. This is just some of what I could see in it, with some browny-red shades.
