This is actually for my team.

C&C is welcome and anticipated.

Here were my only guidelines:

  • The seniors wanted both "Senior photos" in shot.
  • The seniors wanted both "IHC Champions" in shot.
  • These photos were taking by a parent, not me, so "More face" is not an option, I have three pictures of each kid to work with.
I went with simple edging, almost like i was laying them on a table over the poster. They looked too ODD in their basic rectangular shape, so I warped them.

** I have to go back and fix the batter - if you look at her helmet, I erased the inners of the ETS in Hornets and part of the top of the helmet.

** I do want hear your thoughts, but since I have to have 5 of these done by Sunday Afternoon and this is my "model," I just do not have the luxury of experimenting.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

The team pics seem distorted for some reason. The text is thin and with the effects applied it is not easy to read. The background is very bright, almost distracting to a point. The poster could use some more depth.

These are nit picky things if you are looking for last minute changes. The poster looks great.

Agreed on all points - yes, distorted to create a "turned look." I was not going to go crazy trying to fit them in. When they were regular rectangles, they just look out of place. Each photo they are 'warped' or 'distorted' to fit the collage.

Again what the girls wanted. They did not want the names dominating the photos and they wanted it to look like a signature.

I Agree, I used this with other posters I did for this school and THEN added a metalic finish on the prints from mpix ... I will use that every time until I over use it ... it comes out so great and actually draws you to the photo.

Thanks for the comments.
