Default Memory Mate for the new season...

Creating a new one but don't have a logo for the league so have to try and make one (AYA) - just a quick edit - any thoughts? C&C...

Just for reference, when I set up the team photo they were all aligned, when I went back to shoot the thing they had moved all over and a couple were hyper active moving....the random girl on the right was standing and coaches more towards the center - what happened in the 2 seconds I turned around don't ask but some changed positions, switched around, etc.

Great work as usual Mike. My only comment would be to move the individual shot up a bit. Giving it a little more separation from the team shot. I know that's nit picky. Good job.

The team shot needs fill flash.

I wanted her going behind the team as the shirt on this girl looks like a night gown down to her knees so tried to cut it at the waist a bit.

It was fill flashed with the 580EX set +2 1/3 for fill as the sun was harsh. Looking at a print they are all lit pretty good...

I think the design looks good, If there is one comment it would be
that possibly you could choose a font (name and team) that is a little
more striking but that's just my eye... I like the arrangement of the
players in the shot.

Now get back to work, I'm sure Tatum O'Neals parents want to
see hers...

Makes sense. I can't stand to see kids with their jerseys untucked. It drives me nuts. You can't control this, but the "coach" without the same shirt is really annoying.

Actually a good friend there, he was not in the photo when I set it up...they begged him to come in and he mentioned the shirt as well saying he didn't want to get in because of it...they dragged him in it.

Dave, will try a couple different fonts - I have used this one before and it looked better in print than it did on screen, thats for sure.

The background is better in print too, its a glove in the grass back there in the blue.

Well, curious how this looks as well design wise? Was going to cut out the background from the individual shots like above but they were a bit more popular than I thought they'd be so time wise it'd be insane and no way to do them all...any thoughts, good/bad/suggestions/etc?



Some boys portraits on this one that would be put in the same design with the team pics changed of course (and softball to baseball).
