burgundy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 You know, I would say that Davidson did some awesome work, but really, it's like saying the Earth is round. It's just a known fact; anything he touches turns out amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Great work again Fraser, and another great tutorial.I've got some free time so I'm gonna try a soccer template using your technique, will post it if there's any interest and if it turns out half decent.Yes please!!! erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Davidson, I can't even compliment your work enough to do it justice.Just un- -believable. Best template I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughRiders9 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have yet to do a football concept, but this thing makes me want to give it a try THIS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heernumurr Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ok, here's my attempt at the photo concept. Some things about it are annoying, the fact that this is the best picture I could find means it's limited to England's quite old school design, and any concept will have John Terry on it's team. But hey, who doesn't want John Terry on their team? I did the design pretty quickly, things like the adidas stripes and shirt stripes need more time on them to get a really authentic look. Also, black as a main colour doesn't work as well as other colours, especially on the shorts and socks. If I can be arsed tonight I'll show a different colour combo. This is an old MLS concept of mine by the way.I'll post the file if anyone's interested, or if you can find a better photo to work from then give me a shout. And remember, props to Fraser not me, because I've copied his tutorial pretty much step-by-step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Looks great william. I think you could make it a bit lighter (less black around the edges of the player), and maybe keep the ground from the picture. I'll try and find a better photo for you. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Really, really great template! I'm hosting it as well, in case anyone needs a mirror: http://www.quillz.net/random/templates/Dav...ll_Template.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erssteve Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Fraser, thanks for the template man. Your efforts really are appreciated. I'm gonna spend some serious time dissecting this to learn and understand how it was done and then hopefully put both the template and new knowledge to good use here and other places (don't worry only the knowledge will be used other places!).Thanks again, awesome work.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I want to give you even more compliments, as I just tried it out. It's surprisingly incredibly easy to use, which makes it that much better. Twenty thumbs up.My result: erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm brand new to photoshop and this is super easy to use, great work as always. Now to find a good pic of a hockey player in all white....white breezers, who does that? https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Cool templates. Haven't had a lot of time tonight, but here is a quick test using the Birmingham Stallions logo. I think I've addressed the screened-on numbers problem. What do you think? "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

heernumurr Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Can do. Here are the different colour variations. Some colours do come out better, I had to mess around a little with the socks, as darker colours just looked black. The main thing I was trying to do was make sure the colours were as close as possible to the originals when placed under the template. Also forgot to mention the first time round that I used a lighting effect on the final flattened image (not on these though), as it seemed to remove a little bit more of the artificial quality from the designs.Chestnutz, the reason for the both the issues you brought up is because it's a publicity photo and not actual in-game action. The ground from the photo is a oddly lit studio floor, and the rest of the lighting is has quite high dynamic range. A photo from a game would probably be more consistantly lit, but I've yet to find a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ah alright, I'd still love to get my hands on that if you ever release it, being a big soccer kit fan/conceptier.The one bad thing about doing a soccer one is the collar can't change, so say you wanted a v-neck collar, you'd have to stay with an old fashioend collar. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Is there any way anybody could update a template without the layer sets? It seems like it's just there for organizational purposes and I'm using Elements which doesn't have layer set functionality... I'm going to get a demo of Photoshop so I can use this, but I'd like to use this template longer than a month!Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rentz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Forgive me if I'm wrong which I may very well be, but I wasn't talking layers, just layer sets. I meant just ungrouping the individual layers in the layer sets, because I can't access the individual layers in the template.Of course I'm not familiar with the functionality of layer sets so if the use of the template is dependent on their inclusion that is fine--but when I open it, I get two folders in the layer menu, TEMPLATE and DESIGN but cannot open them.

rentz Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Here's something I've made, just messing around... obviously, it's not that convincing, as there's a cardinal in the background with the current unis, I flipped the picture so James Harrison's number is backwards, no Steelers logo on wrong side of helmet, along with obvious lighting issues... but I'm sure that some people on this forum who are better photoshoppers than I could pull this off and make some really impressive shots. It was really easy because of the black background to remove "Kurt" and put him in this picture, where he replaces Larry Fitzgerald for a touchdown dash...
