Β And maybe just stick with the Golden Gate Bridge on the court rather than the whole city skyline. The rest of SF's skyline isn't that recognizable.

It will help the pixelation that shows up. How do I find free downloads, then use that download in a psd editor like photopea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you all tomorrow! What program are you using? If it's photoshop, you should use the background eraser. It will delete everything within a certain range that's equal to (or close to depending on the strength) whichever color you click on to delete. Or you could use the magic wand and delete, though that method probably won't give you as good of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintau24 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I've been watching this thread for a while now. Have some suggestions for you Β As has been mentioned before, use the official logos, wordmarks, and fonts when possible. There are plenty of resources for this. The mothership here is the best place to start. I know you can't save images directly from the site, but Google is a good friend as well. For fonts, try this thread. Not sure how well updated it is, but it's the best I've seen. Design wise, most of your courts look awfully similar. Large midcourt logo, some color here and there, a freaking massive conference or secondary logo, and maybe a random sublimated feature. Pick something more unique for each school. Do some research and find what makes the schools special. Trees for Maine is certainly not that. And hard to be "deep" in the woods with just three trees. Not every school puts their website and Twitter handle on the court. It's not necessary in real life and neither here. Plus, and more importantly, you'll never see a team, business, or entity that takes itself seriously put "www." on something like this. That's understood. And never needed when actually typing in the URL. And again, the font choice here really hurts. You go so fast uploading these that you don't seem to want any feedback. There's 4 or 5 courts back-to-back here. That screams "I'm trying to finish all these by next Tuesday!" Seriously, think about what you want each of these to look like. And, if need be, explain your ideas. A design doesn't really mean much until there is thought put in to it. You're also using an NBA court template. You've gotten better, I will say that. I hope you'll take this to heart and continue to get better. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't one of them, as it is clear you want to do good work. But you need to slow down and listen to what you are being advised to do. You are showing promise and you have good ideas, but listen to Clint and others. I know Kodrinsky was very direct with his critique, but he knows courts better than anyone. If there is any knowledge to be gained, he has it. TL,DR: Slow down. Read advice. http://www.dakotapalmhelmets.blogspot.com Β Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stony Brook going up soon, tried to incorporate these thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
