Young Americans - Board Recustomization

Scythe · 05-31-2008, 09:56 AM

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 suggestions or colour ideas, please post them on 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.

Your suggestions for possible colors and pictures 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, because we want to make sure that the selected graphic and colors 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 PM me or ask them 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 2 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.

Wow Its our turn! This is so cool, most of my favourite boards are getting customized.

Wow YA board is getting recustomized as well!

Hmm... I would have to think on my suggestions, but I like the color of this board.

Oh wow, I can't believe it! I don't like our current graphic at all, so a recustomization would be great.

Thanks for posting Jen!

I'll try to come back and post some of the (few) YA promo pictures that we have later.

As far as colours go, I absolutely love the white/light brownish we have right now. I realize it might not be as colourful as some other boards and might be a bit too plain to keep, but it really represents the show, to me, and I'd love to have something of a similar colour scheme at least, with light colours.

wolkenfuehlen · 06-03-2008, 02:06 AM

Me again.

I thought a bit more about colours, and I think green might also work for work me. Opinions?

So, I tried to find as many promo pictures as possible. Sadly, there aren't a lot of them, and many of the ones I have have a pretty bad quality. I'm posting quite a lot of them to give you guys something to choose from, and also because I'm not sure you can still find all of these online somewhere.

First, let's start off with group pictures of the cast: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09

There are also a few promo shots for each of the five main characters:

Will (Rodney Scott): 01 02 03 04 05 06

Scout (Mark Famiglietti): 01 02 03 04 05

Bella (Kate Bosworth): 01 02 03 04 05 06

Hamilton (Ian Somerhalder): 01 02 03 04

Jake (Katherine Moennig): 01 02 03 04

I don't really care which pictures you end up using for the graphic, you just go do what you think is best and makes the graphic look best.

Hope this helped!

Awww, I love those Rodney pictures.

Me, I like the brown/gold or whatever color being used now, but yeah, the right green would also probably look neat.

s e r e n i t y · 06-07-2008, 05:59 AM

Oh wow love those pictures, theyre great.

As for colours, Im not sure, Id like a bit of blue, but then again I like a bit of blue for everything!

wolkenfuehlen · 06-09-2008, 11:49 AM

I usually like blue, too, but I'm just not too sure it would fit the show?

Veronakat · 06-10-2008, 01:30 AM

Wow, the YA board is going to have a new look too!

Anja, thanks for posting all the pictures. I think the board is going to look very pretty. Regarding the colors, green and gold would be nice.

s e r e n i t y · 06-10-2008, 04:11 PM

What were the Rawley colours? I thought it might have been blue, dunno!

street serenade · 06-11-2008, 03:33 AM

You're right, their gear was blue.

The gold/yellow that's being used now kind of works for YA. I guess I think of the Coke inserts after they come back from commercial, where the used that bright, warm tone.

That's what I think of, too.

There were just many gold/yellow/brownish colours on the show (the dorms, the restaurant J/H go to, crewing during sunrise in 1x05) and that's why I think it would fit.
