Board Recustomisation!

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.

Rae and Mel

YAY! This is great news! Thank You GT! Very exciting!

I'll start with the easy stuff...cast...Dean/Sam/Baby (the car) (We really need the car in there, she's been in there for both customizations, we can't loose her now. ) I think here would be your best bet at pictures. S9 is probably the best recent photoshoots. (Plus it's a gorgeous shoot ) There are a couple more photos here but the lighting isn't so friendly for graphics. (Personally I'd be happy with S9 pics)

If you need something in the background...I think something like the anti-possession symbol, or a devils trap, mark of Cain, demon smoke (although that's probably pretty hard), the crossroad sign again.

Colors are a bit harder, after all this blue for so long I thought eh lets get away from blue...until I started looking through color schemes and came across this one...

https://www.design-seeds.com/wanderlust/color-gaze/

I think it's gorgeous and really fits the mood of the show, Plus it has enough contrast that it's not going to be so much blue on blue on blue like the current combination.

This one is also nice if it gets mixed in with color gaze, to give it a bit more of break up from the blues, but still having blue as the main color...

https://www.design-seeds.com/wander/...tiled-tones-3/

Color gaze would be my first choice, but if we wanted to think outside the box and go towards a different color I also like...

https://www.design-seeds.com/in-natu...lor-setting-5/

Still has that dark-spooky feel.

ETA: Posters, we want everybody's opinion, jump in, let the GT know what you think. And keep in mind the sooner we get our ideas out there, the sooner the GT can start on the graphic and the more time they have to work on the graphic.

It is a done deal in my mind; any graphic without the Impala will not be included in the poll. It is beside the point that it actually will be Mel putting up the poll as I will not be here, I will tell her the same but she is likely to agree with me.

^ That's good. Baby is extremely important Other than Baby I think the cast should only be Sam and Dean.

S9's photoshoot has some gorgeous shots I love the idea of the boys anti-possession tattoo in the banner background!

Color gaze is very pretty I found this color scheme I really liked:

Rae have I told you lately that I love you?! I'm sure Mel will listen to you, but just in case...is she easily bribed?

Gelly, I really liked that color scheme as well.

Possibly but please feel free to say it again . I have seen the early seasons of the show so I know and understand the importance of the car.

Do you have 1D handy? Or Tyler Hoechlin? Those are all I know to attempt bribery with off the top of my head right now.

I LOVE YOU RAE! ....the car is family. The boys would be lost without her.

No, I don't...but I'll go track some down just in case. The Winchesters have taught me to always be prepared.

I'm impressed with your method of bribing. I'm also open to Shadowhunters or gay couples that include Malec, Shyland, Drarry... I'm not too picky.

I have paid attention to you. I should have known to say Shadowhunters and Malec as those are obvious ones.

They really are. The other two are more lowkey because there's no one on FF to really talk about it. Well, I found a person for Shyland so.

I have no clue who any of those people/couples are...but I shall do my best!

I really like the way Dean/Sam look in this pic. Does anybody know where to find HQ's of that shoot? All I've been able to find are some outtakes from it and they're not very high quality.

I like the blue theme, but I do like this that Bee pointed out, with the tan to break up the ALL blue
