DelayedPenalty Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Your images need to be a lot higher resolution to make this look right. Compared to the template they look terrible. Also, you need to work on your cutout ability in Photoshop in order to make them look believable. Especially on the Koivu one you can see where you used just straight lines to cut it out. Work on blending, feathering, and smoothing to make your cutouts more lifelike and dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Dude... you have the right idea on these, but you need to do a better job with the hockey players. There are several problems with your covers thus far:1) Bad cut-outs. The black lines outlining the player make it look like a 5-minute Photoshop job.2) Proportions. When you resize the image, make sure you keep the same proportions. That way the won't look like fat midgets or tall slims...3) Image effects... A little bit more skills, you can make the player look similar to the way the original does...For example look at the NCAA 09 cover:Now look at the Michigan cover I made for myself....

Maz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ive found that, especially if the image is large enough, you can get a similar effect that EA does by using diffuse glow, turning the graininess all the way down and playing with the glow and clear amounts, then kicking up the contrast pretty high and taking the saturation down a bit.And when resizing images in photoshop, hold down shift as you drag on a corner to resize it. That keeps the proportions the same. Pittsburgh Arsenal - Elite Football League (NFL) - est. 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TML13 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 that one is better but is there like a button you can use to sort of make the players "pop" off the page alittle more. right now he looks too undefined, like they dont stand out as much as they should/could. if you know what i mean. ~Sign the Petition, Join on Facebook, Follow on Twitter~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karby65 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Nice work, but why did you put Kariya for the Blues? Boyes or anyone else would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
