For the past three years, the Oliver Ames Basketball Boosters have asked me to create custom sports posters for the boys and girls basketball teams and cheerleaders for Senior Night. The posters hang by the entrance with words and quotes that were provided by their parents.
To create the posters, parents, coaches and teammates are asked to provide descriptive words and a quote to describe the graduating senior, as well as a head shot and a picture showing the athlete in an action pose that represents the player's style or signature move.
Above are examples of the reference photographs that were submitted for the creation of the posters.To create the posters, parents, coaches and teammates are asked to provide descriptive words and a quote to describe the graduating senior, as well as a head shot and a picture showing the athlete in an action pose that represents the player's style or signature move.
I hand draw the bodies for the posters, so the action shot is very important to capture the essence of the athletes. The head shot needs to be high resolution, clear and with good lighting to ensure it is not pixelated or blurry when enlarged to about 6 inches on the poster.
The final images are 18" x 24" laminated posters.
Here are the posters for the 2013 Basketball seniors and cheerleaders:
