DC, you are very close. I like the two images you used. Can you cut the #9 out like you did #21 and just put them both on the same background? Also, The lettering could use a little more attention. Look at Crystine's a couple up from yours. It may not apply here, but it is original, it is almost "brandable" if you will. I hope this helps.. Anyone else still trying???
You guys made them much better I have to admit. jackie - I really am only liking your color scheme and lettering. I'm thinking we are too far off yet.. DC - I like where you are going, I'd like to work with you to get this done (maybe today). I like the bar with the description. I like the use of #9 and # 21. #56 not so much. Can you use this image of #22 instead? http://www.operationsports.com/images/u/media/1214818914-media.jpeg The 'Madden Gods' and player icon I'm not too fond of. Let's remove the players completely and can you give me a few 'Madden Gods' styles to choose from? Finally, I don't like the "looped background". I realize I haven't really given you much to work with there, so I have included some things that may or may not help. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7x5GEewRTe4/RdFeO9qLQbI/AAAAAAAAAag/6SdiFiTgTYc/CIMG0060.JPG http://blogs.salon.com/0001739/myImages/insidelambeau.jpg http://www.deafgamers.com/06screenshots_c/madden07pic3.jpg I hope that helps, it's all I could come up with for background, feel free to use something else....
I haven't chosen a winner, I just eliminated a design. If he doesn't get back to me soon and someone else accomplishes what I want, then that designer will win.
Watari - Thanks for your entry. The background image is "looped" or mirrored and I don't care for it. In fact on the right, the players jerseys are inverted because of this. I'd like one continuous background image rather than one mirrored. Also, if you could remove those footballs and A smaller version of this John Madden image. Just the man, not the whole image. http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070216/john_madden_football.jpg Lastly, I like the words 'Madden Gods' to be in red and blue instead of orange. I'm raising the bar to $40 on this because of my level of detail.
i can add the other player if you want. I tried to make the thing to look as real as possible considering the perspective and size of the players, ground and stadium so it don't look weird. Oh an also i can put number 9's arm inside the header hhaha
