Board Customization

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 Mel, Catia or Chelle 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.

Mel, Catia and Chelle

Its already been said the GT is caught up, plus with Easter this actually later than it could've been. This is also around the time we'd like to be starting the customisation process, it just took a little bit of time for the team to catch up to reach this point.

You already know this Sarah, but you can take a look at the design seeds website to see if there's any colour schemes you like . The word blue can be open to interpretation, especially since the ocean & sky are usually two different shades of blue (you'd at least get different results if you looked at sky colour schemes than you would if you looked at ocean colour schemes or if you looked at sky & ocean colour schemes that'd be a 3rd result)

Yay!

I definitely like the blues! I like the second set, moreso, than the first, but fine with either!

I’m gonna have to look up photoshoots he’s done... I can’t think of any photoshoots atm, except for the B & W one.

It looks brown to me, not yellow . The first would provide more contrast/variation in the colour scheme since it has the two colours in it, while the second one really only has different shades of blue. If you want Jessica you can also look on design seeds to see if there's ones you like other than just Sarah's suggestions (not that there's anything wrong with either that she posted )

I like a blue & yellow together. Maybe this one:

Poppy Yellow

Although, yellow might be hurtful on the eyes for some people...

What about a light blue & light green together?
A Door Green
^Like the 2nd one up from the bottom?

Here are some photoshoots I found! Is it OK to just post the link to the website, or do I need to narrow it down to a couple of pictures?

Session #005 - Armani Code - The Chris Pine Network Photo Archive

Session #006 - Men's Fitness - The Chris Pine Network Photo Archive

Session #004 - DuJour - The Chris Pine Network Photo Archive

Session #008 - OffCamera - The Chris Pine Network Photo Archive

Photoshoots are preferable to pictures but you can link to favs if you want

The yellow probably would be too bright but you could combine it with one of the other colour schemes suggested

Do we want pics with or without a beard? That is the question.

Its more "gold" neither Brown|Yellow

Anyway to do both beard|non-beard???

Jessica we will probably want to do photoshoots between 2016-2018, we won't want to go too far back

I like that 2nd color schemes - though I'm thinking more like 75% blue for the board due to his eyes

I like "gold". I agree that the board should be mostly blue, though! Maybe two blue colors together? A light blue & dark blue? How would that look?

Sarah, he really hasn't done many recent photoshoots. 3 of the ones I linked were from 2016. The other one was from 2014. Not sure if we're gonna get more recent than that...

I think these ones would be good (with beard):
#1
#2
#3

These are with less facial hair & a little bit more smiling:
#1
#2
#3

With beard, more expressive, but older (2014):
#1
#2
#3

These are from when he was on SNL, which is more recent (2017), but I don't really like the pictures, except for maybe the last one.
SNL (2017)

There are also the B & W pics that we got screenshots of. Not sure what year they're from... Don't know if they quite fit for customization, though.
