The forum this is about: essence-of-horhsal.boards.net/
I'm pretty new to the whole forum thing and not really an expert when it comes to visual stuff, so I hope this request won't be too terrible and lacking. The forum is also still WIP.
Since it will be used for RPing, it should be plugin friendly and support stuff like sidebars (like the one in the right), changes to the mini-profile while posting and the like.
Aesthetics are something I'm not sure about, since I'm more of a writer than artist/designer but the format should match with the banner (which could be edited, if there is a need to).
When it comes to colour schemes and the overall feel of the forum, it can get a bit complicated, since we don't have that one story everything focuses on but there can be different ones - even a sci-fi one that plays in another part of the same universe. I guess you could work around that by giving the forum and storylines different themes but that sounds like a lot of effort, so it would be okay if you only want to make the general one for the forum, which should probably include similar colours as in the banner but also portions of beige and a bit of black (a bit similar to how it looks at the moment) although it would also be possible to change the colours if you think they do not match.
What bothers me the most, though, are the standard containers, their positioning and stuff like that but since I am not a programmer (and don't want to be, trying to study it made me hate it) I have no idea how to change them, so that the forum looks more unique.
I'm sure there are still some open questions, so please ask away. Also, thank you for reading this far!
