[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.

Do you have a favourite photoshoot that you want to be used?

Plus any colour preferences or colours you associate with Ben?

I totally missed this post!

I like these photoshoots the most May 11: 2015 FOX Programming Presentation - Ben-McKenzie.org and http://ben-mckenzie.org/photos/thumbnails.php?album=497

Like Didi Blue is the first colour that springs to mind

Any particular types of blues? I recommend taking a look at the Design Seeds website to see if you can find any colour schemes which you like . You can search by colour on the site if you go to this page; there are various shades of blue to choose from there to pick and look at different colour schemes which include that shade of blue.

[Alessia-L]

I like the following blues and think they are most Ben like

Sea Blues | Design Seeds
In particular the forth - #5D8EAC

Horizon Hues | Design Seeds
#498ABD & #6DADC8

Bottled Hues | Design Seeds
#62A4B8 & #1C489E

Hope that helps!

It does help, thank you.

Another question now, would you prefer if the new banner had his full name on it, or just Ben McKenzie? I don't follow his career very closely, but I've always known him as just Ben. (and if you do prefer Ben instead of Benjamin, you could ask Jerry to change the name of the board to match the banner. )

[Alessia-L]

^ Oh yes please. He goes by Ben

[a fine mess]

Thanks Alessia for your input!

[Alessia-L]

Aww, thank you!

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.

Enjoy your banner and colours.
