what about these?

[phatkid77]

i 'quickly' made these b4 i came into work tonite, and i was wondering...what u guys do..

i took my backround image and upsized it to say 20x25" then dragged and dropped the others files to retain the size and quality thru out.. (becuase if i kept my 8x10' canvas size, the other pics would be downsized considerabley?)

then when im done i would resize to 11x14 or 12x18? the biggest i can print

and for the highlight reel, i think i am going to put some holes up the side of the negative look, perforated??

also, i thnk in the first ones i may make backround image B&W?? or does it look better AS IS or with lowered opacity?

suggestions welcome....

I'd suggest white lettering not black for #2, as far as #1 I don't like that the upper left box seems "jig-jag" cut off to make room for the player but the box under it cuts off part of his body.

Maybe if you did an overlay and faded it more so it seemed "on top of" but you could still see image behind it...

OVERLAY?? yes!! ill have to try that (read..figure that out) there has to be a way to get the disired look... i dont really like lowering the opacity..washes out the photo..

i tried kelbys tip for merging two photos using gradient...but i couldnt figure the bloody thing out..., nor does that help me in the 4 pic poster..
i may just stick with solid colour backround, or B&W backround photo

thanks
