Nice, and very funny. I hope you signed those guys to contract extensions before you told them they looked like a bird, though.

just wondering if there are articles "inside" or is it just the cover?

I plan on doing the four articles mentioned. Going to lay it out like a magazine. Hopefully I can get some good pics.

They are proud to look like birds, they play for the Ospreys!!!

What do you think I could add in the space beside the pitcher? It is kind of open and blank, I liked at first, but maybe a picture of my stadium or fans coming in. Logo of the other teams. Date of promotion days?

jaxmagicman · 08-24-2004, 10:38 AM

Oh, and the bar code? Leave it or take it out?

im not really sure but i think you should put something in there.. the barcode looks fine..

pat · 08-24-2004, 10:46 AM

how about making the images circle in dimension? coz the edges overlap..

Jax, I doubt this will help you, but I created a magazine for the GFBL as well, but it was a season preview, so I don't know if it will help. But if you need ideas for how to lay it out or whatever, maybe it will help. I don't know, just something you can look at if you want.

Very creative with the players looking like birds...good graphics...that's what catches my eye...and yeah, you need something to fill the bland spots...just a thought...Frame each picture or section with the team colors...I think you used them in the pictures...that is very creative, too...and work in the team logo someplace.

Nice work.

jaxmagicman · 08-24-2004, 11:37 AM

Thanks for the feedback. I have been racking my brain to come up with somthing for the bland spots. I am going to play around with some wording to put there. I really like the bird pictures next to the players looking like they are flying. So I want to leave them close together. Maybe I can remove the picther all together. I will continue to look.

As for the background being more Vivid, I can probaby change that. The picture is of an Osprey Drawing. I have another picture I might try with an osprey spread flying high in a blue sky.
