[room to breathe]

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.

ooooh this is exciting

There are so many great photoshoots, so I imagine this will be really easy.

or not

[madness]

I think you're underestimating my team.

Does anyone have any preference in pictures?

[Heidsdk]

ooh i just meant with the choosing of Pictures thats not going to be an easy assignment to do

[madness]

Ah okay. Personally I'm thinking:

Session 05 - Matthew Daddario Fan Photo Gallery - Because he's actually smiling in this one

Session 04 | 1883 Magazine - Matthew Daddario Fan Photo Gallery - Because it's really recent, but it has a lot of head angles that aren't as practical for GT.

Session 01 | Winter TCA - Matthew Daddario Fan Photo Gallery - Because they have a nice tone to them.

[looking at the stars]

Awesome shoots Mel!

I love the smiling one :love;

[Heidsdk]

yeah i like the third link best hot and cute and just amazing Photos

[madness]

Personally I'd also go for the first one, seeing he is actually smiling in them, and I think his smile on a banner, what could be better?

We'll see what the others say.

OMG!!! Already!!?

I'm thinking the first one too or the second one. The first one because he's smiling and also because well, it will be easier to match

[madness]

Yeah exactly. Personally I think the second could really turn out to be a bitch for us.

[21:21]

I'm selfish enough to pick the pictures that are the easiest to work with. Thankfully, Matt doesn't have bad pictures lol

[madness]
