[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

Thanks for this!!! This should be fun!

[JustmissRiss23_]

oohhh that is exciting. I am sure whatever the choice is, it will look great.

[BlackWhiteRose]

I agree. It will look great.

[msstock87]

Does anybody have any ideas?

[JustmissRiss23_]

Maybe colors that are a little bit brighter, but obviously nothing too bright. What about Blue tones?

[GardenSirens]

That could be good.

[msstock87]

I was thinking brighter colors would be nice too.

If you're thinking blues for the colour scheme, you might like to take a look through these to see if you like any of them :
Blue Colour Palettes (colorpalettes.net)
Cyan Colour Palettes (colorpalettes.net)
Blue Colour Palettes (Coolors)

You can also look at creating your own colour scheme on the Coolors website in their Palette Generator. You can also look up various colours to learn their names & hex codes in their Colour Library.

Has anyone had the chance to continue to explore what colours you'd like to see here?


Any thoughts on characters/pictures? Any changes to the current characters you've got? Any particular pictures you'd like to see used?

[GardenSirens]

I am on board with a blue color.

[msstock87]

I think a blue color would be nice I think. It would make it pop.

[BlackWhiteRose]

I agree blue looks great.

[shinebrighterxx]

Blue is a vague term as there are LOTS of different shades of blue, as well as lots of different colour scheme combinations. What you are thinking of when you say 'blue' may not be what I think of when you say 'blue'. Is there any particular shade of blue that you like? Or a particular colour scheme that you like?

[msstock87]

Sorry I am bad at this type of stuff!

I kind of liked this here.
