[me and the sky]

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 Color Palettes or Coolors websites. As we want every board to have their own unique look it is preferable that you do not link to the customisations of other boards as suggested colour schemes.

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, Chelle, or Kate 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 approximately 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 finished making the 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, Chelle, and Kate

Does anyone have any thoughts on colours or pictures you'd like to see here?

[adambrodyrocks]

Any bright color will be good for me.

Bright colors would look great. I think.

Is there any colours you associate with Rachel and/or would enjoy seeing on the board? Would you like more warmer colour such as pinks, oranges or yellows or would cooler purple, blue or green tones be more what you're looking for? We can create a custom scheme based on your suggestions and of course, we can always mix different colours and shades together to find what would suit this board best

Are there any photoshoots of Rachel that you like? We tend to like to use more recent ones to try to avoid the board looking dated, but can of course consider options depending on what is available

This website (Rachel Bilson.us) seems to have the most to offer in Photos and the most recent/last photos that Rachel seems to have done is in 2018.

2018

She loves blue so maybe the blue shades?

Blue is pleasant on eyes.

[shinebrighterxx]

What sort of blues are you thinking? You may wish to take a look through these & these colour schemes to see if any appeal to you

[adambrodyrocks]

A shade of blue that will be warm, welcoming, like Royal blue.

Here's a couple suggestions with blue: 1 | 2

[Cadenf]

I like the second one!

[shinebrighterxx]

Have you had a chance to take a look through to see if there are any pictures or colours that you like? Or are you happy with Betty's picks? If you are happy with whatever you can also leave it up to the team to interpret from 'bright, warm, royal blue'. But what one person takes from that may be different to someone else. I know for me my first thought was it might be good to pair royal blue with warmer tones to help bring some more warmth into the customisation since blue is a cooler tone. So while there are warmer blues it may still feel cool. There are lots of different colour schemes out there, as well as colour combination options. We can also combine things & design one for you if you wish.

[Cadenf]

I'll look at the pictures tomorrow and get back to you.

I like that blue range she posted, but maybe another color could work with it as well.

Cannot wait Cathy.
