New Styleset Plans - Page 2 - EvBoard

I can't really give that good of a suggestion since my creative side is kinda dead but I'd like to see more color. The gray on top of gray is kind of blah. It's too boring to me.

As long as the colors aren't bright, I'm fine with a color change..

You could do like a color themed board... what I mean is like, instead of choosing a bunch of colors, you choose one in particular and everything else can just be different shades of that color.

It'll be cool if you could put different background pics of the band or something on each forum, just to make one different from the other.

It'll be cool too if the Evanescence thingy (I dunno what to call it) in the logo moved.

Which version of the band are you talking about for pictures? There's been around 5-6 and there aren't any decent shots of the most recent version.

Needless to say, I think straying from pictures of the band would be a good idea. A simplistic theme with darker colors is easier on the eyes. Perhaps black background with grey text and a small EvBoard logo at the top would be the best way to go. Maybe use an accent color for the links.

I like blues, but possibly a little lighter than the current scheme, maybe some greens mixed in... like ocean colors. Green is said to be the most restful color to the eye, and blue is said to slow one's metabolism, which produces a calming effect.

And IAW Brittany... no pictures of the band.

Well, it can be something else band-related, maybe some mystic/shadowy design, like the art they put on the cd's.

i would say pink... but too much is WAY too hard on the eyes... but a deep purple or red would look really nice...i think the background should be a solid color though....not like a myspace layout, with graffics and everything

mbmanus · 07-24-2007, 10:51 PM

I think a metallic blue would be pretty cool. No red though. Evthreads was like that and it made my eyes bleed.

I agree with witch's post - they have some nice ideas there. I too wouldn't like anything too bright and as much as I like purple, that seems to be Ev.it's theme. I think blue woul'd proabably be the best choice, something wintry and magical maybe... a bit like Lithium?

And a small request which probably sounds extrememly trivial, the boxes at the left-hand side that contain our usernames, avatars and details? Would it be possible to have them so that they are the same width as eachother? They are currently stretched for those with bigger avvies and PS, Mod, Admin and WC titles and it looks a bit messy...

Don't hit me

I think I may have a touch of OCD, 'cause things like that tend to bug me.

As is.

I don't know (or care) about the rest of you, but I'm here to post/read text. The current colours and layout are the perfect medium for it. Easy on the eyes.

If other style sets are created, as long as this current one is still selectable, I'll be a happy camper. Colours and fancy graphics and all that other bullshit is just useless candy.
