I've had some free time over the past couple of weeks. This has allowed me to work on creating new custom poster designs. So far I'm pretty pleased with the overall concept of each one. I'm sure I'll be tweaking them a little.

C&C welcomed.

    Of the three, I like the first. I'd also like to suggest making some subtle changes. 1st, the two background shots--maybe make them a bit more transparent? Also, lighten the players face a bit.

    I agree on #1 being the winner. All are very nice but for a poster the size of the 'filmstrip' images is a bit small. And while #3 is nice graphically it's just a bit odd for football - sure maybe a correlation to eagles - but the graphics in shot 1 just fit better to me. Plus the subject of the poster is more of a focus vs. #3 where the background competes for the viewer's attention. Still nicely done.

    A very nice job -- did you create the background for No. 1 from scratch? I like that look a lot ...

    i like #1 best... perhaps if the filmstrip were larger with less photos - maybe large enough for just four or five it would be the right size..

    what fonts did u use on each of the first two designs?

    These are cool! Three very different looks. I think I like #1 best. On #3, I'm guessing it should say Klein Eagles rather than Hlein Eagles.

    NICE JOB!! if you don't mind sharing I would love to know what the technique was from making the backgrounds of #1 & 2. And I really like the font in #3.

    #1 for sure. I agree with everyone else about the film strip in #2 (to small) make it look like it was a last minute addition. #3 looks great with the exception of the trees and the water. If it was me I'd use the clouds as the entire background.

    I know it's not very distinct, but I think that is a K... there's a small notch on the right side... again, not very clear, but I think it is a K... ne_nau.gif

    Sorry about that, OP!
