What do you guys think about these photos?

Admin note: I've split this off from your rosters topic because it's off-topic (Archi).

Looks great! IMHO, a bit minimized yellow font looks better and pics should be framed as well

I would like if player's name and flag tabs were more flattened. Also photos should be framed as CrockerNHL said.

Well I modified it a bit, however left the initial concept

I think with some refinements, it could be a really cool project in the making.

How about having all the text on just one line and with the flag to the right of it?

Looking nice duquer.
Maybe the player main position above/under the player name?

If just post position abbreviation there will be free space in before/next to it.

thus in the case with Hiller it will look like:

--------------------------------
G
Jonas Hiller [flag]
--------------------------------

Well what kind of player info might be placed to the right/left from player's main (main/secondary) position?

That looks really good! Simple but nice-looking

I'm not sure if you need the players' positions. Maybe just put a one/two letter abbreviation to the left of the player's name to keep everything on one line; i.e. G Jonas Hiller [Flag] ?

Might go littlebit messy if player have longer name as "JAMIE LANGENBRUNNER [flag]"

So after I give the ECHL project to Jay.. I was thinking, what I should do next.
Finally I got it! I'start to update TBL 2007 NHL player pictures to 07/08 season.

I have currently short time to work with any projects, but at least in next week I start to work with this more.
If someone want to use spefific picture.. just let me know.

Laz, I love your pics, but do you think you can make them smaller in size?

If you are using Photoshop, you have the "save for web" option. There you can reduce quality to 75%, which will make your pics about 50% as space demanding as they are now. Just a tip =)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the tip!
I had wondered, why my pics use so much space..

Pretty awesome, I would go with that concept!

Little update..
So far I have done 6 NHL teams player pictures.

But I cannot find pictures for the following players.
Freddy Meyer Phoenix (I have Meyer's Islanders picture, but need the Phoenix picture too.. well I had found some pictures from gettyimages, but there's that watermark.)
Garrett Stafford Detroit (I had his Grand Rapids picture, but cannot find Wings picture nowhere)

Just uploaded TBL 2007 Cards All-Around World pack 4.
Pack contains missing pictures from Australia, Swiss, Germany, Denmark, WHL, OHL, College Hockey America, Finland and some random missing pictures ex. first pic ever from Mexico

Too bad that I just can't find picture for the best Mexican player, Cristofer Kelo.

What if you were to do a semi-transparent flag with the name over top?
