[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

Wow im excited we can do this board

[fire for a heart]

awesome thanks

[L i N d $ @ y]

Thanks for getting this thread started Rae. I think it's time for this board to get customized so thanks for considering.

We would appreciate any feedback from the posters here on what board graphics & colors you want for this board. This is quite a busy board with a lot of our members posting so (personally) I want a board color that is easy on the eyes.

I can't think of what images to use for a banner here. Maybe we can just put Avril Lavigne wearing a Hogwarts uniform on it? Kidding aside, all your suggestions will be most helpful so post your ideas on this thread.

Thanks everyone!

Oh I love those Eme!!!

Do you have any ideas on what to use for the banner? My mind is drawing a blank right now. Voting cards? Ballot boxes? Questionnaires?

[That's My Girl]

glad you like them, do you have a fav?

It's not easy to find things, I thought of "?", a TV, music notes/mic, voting boxes seems to be appropriate,... but don't know how they can all work out together...

Would you prefer to keep to the orange and blue shades like the Info Center did or your own unique colours?


The symbols to represent each of the categories (music, celebs, television shows) could work well together to represent the board ?

[Hero of Time]

Yay, so happy and excited to see this board getting customized !

I would love if it was inspired by 's original colors, like the Info Center board was. How about silver and blue this time? Something like this:
design seeds | beach tones | for all who ♥ color

Sounds great .

[Always & Forever]

I like those beachy colors!

It'll be great to see how the customization for this turns out!

[*Stephie*]

Love that this board will be customized.

[Summer Falls]

Love the color choices

Ok banner thats the hard side i like the use of a ballots again would be hard to work that in

[L i N d $ @ y]

I like the beachy color theme as well.

I also like the idea that the board colors should be inspired by FF like how IC was. Though I wouldn't mind if it's a different color scheme.

Eme, the first color scheme that you posted I really like. And also the last one you posted but perhaps a different color scheme.

Rae, I like those too. Then perhaps some voting thing since we always have a poll on this board.

Flave, I love silver & blue!
