First Card Attempt: LMK your feedback

tm decomposer · Nov 25, 2010

With some downtime for the break, I decided to use the program GIMP on my Macbook. After reading instructions and what not, I made this card and will probably get it pressed and send it to Brandon Crawford for an AUTO after a few adjustments.

Take a look!

Reduce the blackline around him so its less obvious and is the shape of that signature box compatible with his signature? Meaning is his auto long and thin or more square shaped?

Also, where are you getting the card pressed? I cant find anywhere that can actually print cards.

it's pretty nice but you need to just clean it up a bit...i like the design, it probably needs an editing job...especially at the bottom, a bit messy...

First off, good design. I like the bridge idea.

I agree with the above posters. I'd shorten the box (left to right) and move move it to the lower left portion of the card rather than taking up the whole bottom, then extend Crawford's image to show the "GIANTS" on his jersey, which could also eliminate the need for the logo in the bottom left.

Hope this helps!

the render of him is way to choppy. if you want i can get you a much cleaner one.

It aint bad overall. as far as printing i hear alot of people are printing them on glossy paper and then using 3m adhesive tape and putting them on the blank decoy cards.

As mentioned above, the black outline around him needs to be reduced.

Get rid of the bottom grey and simply fade out the image instead. Consider increasing the font size of the player name. It doesn't stand out.

You can find a better script font at dafont.com

And like everyone says, the black around the player looks rough. I'm not sure what the capabilities of GIMP are, but if you're serious about going to print with cards, you may want to invest in photoshop, or photoshop elements.
