[Wayne Primeau]

First one up:

What do you think? Ask me which ones I should make next!

I will not be able to make them for a few hours, though. I’ll see your requests tonight or tomorrow.

Shoot, that didn’t turn out how I wanted it to.

Here’s another try:

Those are sharp! Decent size allowing for a little blurb about the player, pertinent info, and a super clean design.. nicely done.

Edit: the only thing I can see missing would be the year on the front perhaps in white font similar to the team name and position. I can see it on the upper right hand corner on the front of that Hathaway card in particular.. other than that, I totally dig 'em!

Have another coming soon.

Bit of a bold statement there, eh?

The first one was just a practice. I made a few alterations on the Bennett one. I’m working on one for Austin Carroll right now.

Not bad

I might change the border colour from black as it seems to disappear within the images, especially considering how often black appears in the photos (sweater, pants, etc)

Also (nitpicking) the square corners seem very.... powerpoint.

It’s VERY HARD to make hockey cards on powerpoint

I’m trying to emulate the 09-10 UD set here, especially on the front.

Ok I'm not trying to be a dick, but I have a design background and there some serious issues that are driving me crazy.

Your black borders are way to thick, and should be set to 'hairline' for clean crisp lines.

Now the text.

Most people don't have a clue how to align text and use proper fonts for certain purposes.

On the back of the card, the top section should be aligned to the left, not right.

Lose the 'NHL Statistics' cuz we all know what we are looking at. Put the GP, G, A, etc at the top, never the bottom.

And for the copy (paragraph of text) don't type in capitals.

Sorry to critique but I thought you'd want to know.

I don't like them either and have bitten my tongue cause I didn't want to be mean, but thank you

I don't mind them at all but the cards should have less of a "boxy" feel imo. Still, nice job!

It'll be cool to see how your cards three months from now will look
