Football program cover C&C

Ok so this was my first REALLY big make my own collage project. I took things from here and there, and learned how to use layer masks.. Took me a day to do this. Let me know what you think. For the local HS football team program.

Thanks!

I like the colour and text but there's too much going on all at once' pictures on pictures.If it were toned down slightly it would be better.

Not that i know anything about american football though

For a large poster it would be fine, but for a program I think the faces will be to small.

It looks awesome on 24 x 36, just printed one at office max today.. In any picture unless it is the whole page on a program, the faces are going to be small..

Only issue I have is text alignment, the rest looks great

Personally I would have the words Sebrig High School & Blue Streaks Varsity Football centre aligned, like so

Sebrig High School
Blue Streaks Varsity Football

I know you have used different font sizes etc and its just my view of it.

Nice cover though, I used to do them myself for a local Soccer team here in the UK so I know the work that goes into them, well done.

I wish I would have aligned the l's... I wanted it a little off, not so structured.. Will hopefully get to do it again next year and will improve on this years..

Thanks!!

I like what you were going for... my only problem is that there looks to be an abundance of group shots and no action shots in the foreground. I'd prefer the group shots to be faded background and have a bunch of individual action shots be featured. Maybe ONE group centered and low or something so all will feel included.

Thanks, I would have done more action shots, but they wanted to focus on the team. There are a few action shots in the background, but we didn't have that many to use. They wanted something different than a single group shot. so it is all the positions in own little groups..
