Card backs poll
I'm curious on the thoughts people have on the card backs.
Right now, we have more stats available, but not a lot of ways to produce interesting text data. So unfortunately, any card type that includes a lot of data, or trivia is probably out of our reach right now. That said, there are three options that I'd like to see your thoughts on.

Can't you do #2 and #3 at the same time? I gues I'm confused by the difference between the two. Isn't the design a part of the era?

In #2, I mean that the 1965 card would have something that looks as close as possible to the 1965 back, while the 1964 card would have something that looks as close as possible to the 1964 back. In some ways, because of the lack of text data and the concept that people want stats more than anything else, #2 and #3 may converge somewhat. Many card backs, especially Topps (and the attached is a good example of this), have large sections of cartoons and trivia that we may never be able to replicate well. #3 could make designing cards a lot faster. Still, it's just what I'm looking to do, other graphically inclined folks can tinker to their heart's content. Last edited by BMW; 07-19-2010 at 05:02 PM. |

BMW,
In no way do I have anywhere near the expertise in card making as you do, I want to show you something that I have been working on that might allow for trivia/facts to be included on cards. The card has yet to be completed, but for now I am in the process of creating facts/trivia and linking the file to show up based upon player uniform number. This would limit the number of facts to 99 (0-99) but I would think it could get as also be geared to Team and Position. Then again, I might have misinterpreted what you initially meant. I look forward to your next set. |

It's possible, although it could be a little time consuming since it's not just a matter of having the text available right now, but creating graphic portions with those trivia facts. But that's not to dissuade you, it's a brilliant idea, so go with it. The fact that you were able to come up with the concept (regardless of whether it was on your own or from dissecting the XML I made for the 1974 Topps card) means you're really going to do well with this. That's an advanced concept to grasp. |

very much like the backs of Tiesenbergs cards, the light background makes the stats easier to read.
