[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.

Rae and Mel

So excited for this.

Anyone has ideas for colors or for what pictures we should use?

[madness]

I quite like the blue tones for her, maybe mix them up a bit with purple or something?

design seeds | rustic hues | for all who ♥ color
design seeds | poinsettia blues | for all who ♥ color
design seeds | poinsettia hues | for all who ♥ color
design seeds | winter flora | for all who ♥ color

Soooo excited about this! I need to think this colour & pic thing still. I liked at least some of those colour schemes linked already. Just nothing too pink-y or "girly". Personally I'm a bit bored of this blue nowadays so I would like to see some other colour as the primary. Anyways. I need to think about this more. Someone pls post after me so I don't have to double post

From the colors posted, I really loved these:

design seeds | rustic hues | for all who ♥ color
design seeds | poinsettia blues | for all who ♥ color
design seeds | winter flora | for all who ♥ color

I definitely think we should get something else than just blue, and mix it with some other natural colors. Agreed on the no pink comment.

What about some recent Kristen photoshoots, what are your favorite ones that we could use?

[f i r e p r o o f]

Ooooh, this sounds so exciting. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I am sure I will love how they look no matter what.

[That's My Girl]

do you guys have pics you'd like to have in the banner ?

[madness]

It would be very practical if you had any idea what pictures you wanted in the banner.

[heart devoured]

Here's some photoshoots. Tried to stick with fairly recent ones. Are these any good? I could try to find more/older if not. Would be nice if someone else had some pic suggestions too.

About the colours. I couldn't find a palette of what I'm thinking, but I was thinking something like purple and some kind of earthy green and then some beige-brown-sand sorta colour. Maybe?

Also liked these:

Those are great suggestions and especially the first link, Laura posted:

020. Byrdie Magazine 'Get ready with Kristen' is what comes to my mind for a suggestion for this board. Those photoshoots are my favorite.
