hi all,

my son is just finishing up his fall season and I've put this together for the coach. I've done similar set ups to this version, but the mountain back drop is new (the shot was taken from the soccer fields, so it's definately relevant). Last time, I had the players sign the actual photo; this time I took a page out of Ann McRae's book and had them presign a note card and then scanned in the signature. Way easy and you don't have to worry about finger prints either!

I also learned to set up the individual players as individual files first and then group all those layers and then brought the group into the collage. That was a big improvement the work flow from last time!

So here is the collage, followed by an example of the individual file I used for each player. I would love any feed back - any thing that jumps out at you as out of place, tweaks, etc.

and here's my son's individual:

    I've coached little league baseball the past couple of seasons, and I know if a parent handed me something like this I would just be stunned. Fantastic work Colleen! I'm sure the coach will be very happy.
