[room to breathe]

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.

Ohh, so excited for this one.

I think given the characters that will return for season 2, the banner could have included Chanel, Chanel #3, Chanel #5, Hester, Dean Munsch, Zayday, Chad and Denise. And I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.

^I think this one will be a lot of fun too and am excited you're excited!

Skyler Samuels and Oliver Hudson are TBD for season two...

I think we should have a red color scheme. What do you guys think? Chanel wears a lot of pink as well so maybe a red/pink theme would be good.

This poster shows the red/pink color:

I think red/pink would work well especially that's what I associate the show with.

There are some HQ pictures of the show here

Keep in mind that red is a harsh colour so we generally try to avoid it and use it in small amounts. How about pink/cream shades with red highlights? Or pink/brown shades with red highlights?

If the characters are TBD for now I would not recommend including them just in case they are not in the show anymore.

[That's My Girl]

I agree with Rae, red is hard on the eyes so I've been thinking, I've seen poster with blue sky, and maybe it could be a blue/light red scheme or pink/red (since channels' are wearing pink often)like Rae suggested but the main color, need to be light so either light pink or blue could be an option for this

I think the characters you choose are the main ones from this show from what I've seen and I agree it's better to keep it to the chore one for now.

[lizzybug57]

Thanks guys. You are the experts!

Let's focus on light pink with red highlights then if that works and will pop.

What about this picture that showcases the main three cast members?

We use individual pictures and I linked to some in my post and Catia has linked to some too.

Pink with red highlights would be perfect. So wxcited for this

Got it! I saw the ones you guys linked! The look awesome. I didn't realize it was individual photos put together.

[*Stephie*]

Ohhhh this is exciting.

I agree for the colors, pink/cream with red highlights would be the best. And it fits with the show.

For the banner, I agree with Catia. She named the main ones and should we add Red Devil?

[lizzybug57]

Love your input, Stephie. i definitely think the red devil is a character that is important and stand alone at least in season one.

We have now finished making all the graphics and the Graphics Team are going to vote on a winner, so this thread will now be closed until the colours and graphic have been set up - then we will re-open it so you can tell us what you all think!

If you have questions please post them on the Info Center's Message Board Customization Process Thread, but please check the opening post to see if your question has been answered there first.

Thank you everyone,
Rae.
