[room to breathe]

Hi everyone ,

The Fan Forum Graphics Team is in the process of (re)customizing message boards and now it's your turn!

If you have any picture or color 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 colors 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 colors will be taken into serious consideration, but in the interest of seeing every board receive the best customized look possible the final decision concerning how this board will be customized 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 customization 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 customization thread.

Please leave this topped until a week or so after the board has been (re)customized.

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 colors get put up. It will then be re-opened so that you can share your thoughts about it.

YES!! I am so excited about this! The board hasn't been re-customized since I joined almost 6 years ago!

I def like the pink, but I wouldn't mind a change and having some different colors like purple or blue.

As for the pictures for the banner, I'd have to look through some of her newer photoshoots, see which ones I like the best!

I hope we get lots of input for this! It's not just up to me & Miranda! This is ALL for you guys! So, please, give us your thoughts & suggestions!

[splintered]

Eeek, this is exciting!

Yeah, I agree on the colours. The pink is nice and I still like it, but part of me would also like something different since the pink really reminds me of Sharpay and who she was all those years ago when this board got its first customization, y'know? I would definitely like to stick to warm and/or pastel colours.

I'm going to look through recent photoshoots too. There's so many that would be great that I can already think of from the top of my head!

[Always & Forever]

I totally agree about the Sharpay thing! She's well past "Sharpay" now, as much as she still loves the character & people think she's still "Sharpay-like" in her other characters, but I totally disagree & think anything "anti-pink" would work.

I'll have to look at that website and see what colors we could use!

I like these pics, but they're black & white. I wonder if we could find them in color.





Here are some other ones I found:








I was also thinking the Maxim photoshoot. I need to find a link to those pics.

Maxim - Ashley Tisdale

What about these color, lighter version of it but could work, more purple than the pink

[Always & Forever]

I like the purple & the blue colors in that set!

[CityGal]

Yeah! Congrats the board made the list.

I like the blues and purple.

[Always & Forever]

Thanks!

I think that's what we'll decide, then!

Love the colors you posted Emeline.

[Always & Forever]

I'm looking forward to seeing what the final outcome will be!

[NikNak]

I like those colors too.

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,
Mel.
