Big A HG Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've been tinkering with making wallpaper calendars for the 09-10 season. I was just curious if they are worth doing. It's something to do in spare time when I have nothing else going on. They'll feature dates and jerseys of each team the Sioux will face each month. Each month will also feature a player or team of the month. I'm looking for suggestions on what I should change/add/remove. Here's a sample for October. I used a photo Brucesky02 took, so if he doesn't want me to use it, I'll find another source. I credited him in the lower left, so if he let's me use it, everyone thank him! He did an awesome job taking some great pics. I made all the jerseys and everything else by hand. I didn't do a whole lot with it, but I like simple wallpapers, so tried to keep it clutter free. This is a reduced size image. I can scale them to whatever needs everyone has. One problem I already face is a place to upload the wallpapers where I can share them at full size. I use photobucket currently, but they have a maximum size that's allowed. Maybe Jim can help out in that department if this is a project worth while...?

I like it, but I wonder if it wouldn't look a little nicer with pictures of the players in action? like during a game? I don't know if that would be possible but i have always loved those pictures....just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that would be possible but i have always loved those pictures....just an idea Every month will be a bit different. I'll add in some with historic players, some with current players...action shots, etc. I wanted to use Eids with the trophy for October a) to congratulate our accomplishments of this season coinciding with our banner raising against merrimack and b) because Eids will need to be the cornerstone of our team next season Thanks for the suggestion though They won't all be the same green backgrounds or anything either. I'll try and keep them as unique as possible each month so they don't look so monotonous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSioux85 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The sample looks great! If you decide to pursue this project further I would definitely use the wallpapers. You can use Tinypic (http://tinypic.com/) to post the full size wallpapers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucesky02 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I love this! And not just because that is my picture in there! One suggestion - Make the photographer's credits a little more bold and in something more like 48pt. font. (totally kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me use the pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
