Very good. I think it shows a lot of action.

Not sure if this request is appropriate on this forum....but are you willing to share the template?? I just do this for fun for my son and some of the parents on his baseball team. Anyway, thanks in advance.

I could send you the PSD. If you know how to modify the photos/colors/etc, this one does not have much of a "template". Send me your email in a PM and I will help you out.

When I do this, I charge $50.00 for a 12x18 print using my photos, or $40.00 using the client's photos. That can go up if the design is more complex. This one is fairly simple. I also sell them via JPEG files that go for $50.00 and up depending on if we are using my photos or theirs. I also charge an additional $6.00 for each additional photo over 4. Hope this helps.

Very nice poster but why is the image on the left reversed? That kind of takes away from it.

I know, I guess I could flip it around but I was trying to have the photo face inwards or left to right. I will change and see what you think.

I wouldn't make her left handed when she is not, my other nitpick it that it's a lot of blue.

Good point. Here is one with that photo changed. Blue is the main color of the team. I may change the gradient to more black/dark blue but I am not sure I can take too much of the blue away as that is their color.

Hum, I don't mind if she left or right handed.
The pose in the first one is better, she's looking at the ball! Its more dynamic.

Ok, you want a ball, you got a ball. Ha, Ha, Ha... I agree with you, without the ball, you are not quite sure what she is looking at.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree with Sledhead, that's a lot of blue. I know it is the team's major color, and that may have a little to do with why there is so much in this collage. The flipping of the far left image is quite distracting as others have mentioned (It was the second thing that caught my eye. Made me wonder if this poster was for sisters). The font size/style and position also make for a busy image. The eye doesn't know where to look first...


Why yes, I DO shoot people—and they pay me well for it.:D

Not sure if this helps but I changed to a white/blue/black gradient and made the fonts smaller.

Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it.
