[me and the sky]

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. As we want every board to have their own unique look it is preferable that you do not link to the customisations of other boards as suggested colour schemes.

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 Mel, Chelle, or Kate 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 approximately 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 finished making the 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.

Mel, Chelle, and Kate

This is so exciting!

I am not good with pictures But I will definitely be looking at the colors and posting some suggestions

[shinebrighterxx]

I am not good with pictures

What makes you say that? All you need to do is look through recent photoshoots & say which ones you like . I know that there is this gallery you can look through, not sure if there's others

ETA: There's also this one but I don't know that it has all that different options, looks the same to me

[Can't Have You]

I never know where to look for them but I will look at those!

[shinebrighterxx]

I just Google the topic name & gallery & see what comes up (so in this case Katie McGrath Gallery). I've added a second site to my above post too btw

[Can't Have You]

That is very helpful, thank you

Queen!

I just think of Morgana and think purple/green as colors i associate with Katie.

[Heda_Khaleesi]

My first thought was also purple!!

I like the 2nd and 4th colors in this one. With the purple being the main color.

Alternatively, I also like the 2nd and 4th ones here too.

The graphics team uses more than two colours in a colour scheme. Do you want those four colours combined to make your colour scheme, like this?:

What are you thinking when you say purple as the main colour? With those colour choices you have more green than purple shades. We'd also need a paler shade for the background colour & possibly a darker too to add more contrast to the colour scheme.

May I suggest this as a colour scheme?:
▇▇▇▇▇▇

It should give you a mostly purple board with green & pink highlights (E.G. bars, buttons, text, or simply appearing in the graphic)

[Can't Have You]

Oh idk why I was thinking only two colors

But yes, I love that scheme!! With the purple background and then the green/pink buttons

[shinebrighterxx]

you wouldn't be the first & I doubt will be the last

Have you had a chance to look at pictures?

[Can't Have You]

I found some I like But they are probably not easy to use

She has more pics of the bck of her than the front

And of course, I do like these ones

[shinebrighterxx]

As the first shoot is from 2013 I would rule it out for that but then the pictures do look awkward to use. We can't use black & white pictures either .

The 2017 shoot should be fine. Were there any other more recent shoots that you liked?

(If you're unsure on the sort of pictures we look for you can check out our FAQ which has a pictures section in it )

[Can't Have You]

She doesn't have very many photoshoots She is not going to make this easy
