Hey guys, I had an idea to make iphone wallpapers that looked like the back of jerseys because I wanted wallpapers that represented a player but I couldn't find many I liked online.  So I did this Messi one and was wondering what you think?  Any tips?  The only problem is jerseys are often solid colored on the back which makes for a boring wallpaper but I think the Barcelona jersey came out pretty nicely.  Also, the empty space at the top and bottom are for the iphone lockscreen.



Here is the actual jersey:


and here's a ronaldo:

Maybe a gray scale pic of the players?

That's a good idea the only problem is  it's hard to find a picture where there's enough room on the top and bottom for iPhone slider and clock

I think the beautiful simplicity of these would be hurt by the addition of a pic of the players.

^^ Agree. It looks pretty good as it is, especially the Barcelona jersey.

Thanks guys, I think the "wrinkle" effect and the texture in the Ronaldo jersey helped a lot.  I love them on my iPhone lock screen

Yeah I would definitely like to.  The one issue I have is how to curve the text like it is on a lot of jerseys.  I use pixelmator and not Photoshop and it doesn't have the capability to.  I have word 2011 for mac which might be able to do it, but I'm not sure how to get it over to pixelmator after making it in word.

Here's what I have.  I wasn't sure what else- if anything- to do or add to it.  I was thinking a nameplate behind "brady" but I wasn't sure how to make a good looking one.  Just let me know if you want me to add anything



and here's a red one since the blue is pretty dark.

Yeah, what player do you want?  and do you want this design?  And do you happen to have a similar font? because I can't find one  

[shaydre1019]

Man i had made a template for the us jerseys, just for kicks, and  it came out pretty nice, imo, but my computer crashed and i lost a lot of work.

I'll try to post a picture of one, and i'll try to get you the font

[shaydre1019]

Here are mine,





And here's a a very valuable link that i got from somebody on here a while back

Those are awesome, did you make that pattern on top of the numbers or what did you do?  And I looked at that website but with the file names I could only find Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Barcelona.  Didn't think to read past "amzie"  Thanks for finding the font though.

edit: nevermind, found out how to add the dots & logo
