New design for thumbs |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2019 16:23 | |||
 zag  Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Hi! As I was unhappy with my previous thumb design for motorsport events, I have design a new one for Formula 1 and I'll update the existing ones for the new one. Here you can see some examples:  Special thumbs for qualifyings PS: As you can see, each race will have a different image as identifier. Each displayed photo is related to the 2019 race held on that grand prix, but as there's no mention of related year/season, could be used for all seasons without problem Once updated the F1 ones and if you like the design, I'll do the same for other motorsports leagues willorkney | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | They look great to me, I think maybe you shouldn't use them for every year of F1 though as the styling is very modern and I don't think it would fit well with anything pre-2010 looking at the TV graphic designs over the years. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Sweet! Is there some way you could share the source of these images? Are they PSD? | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Yes, they are PSD. Which one do you need? Currently designed different versions for the next leagues: Golf: PGA Tour Here you can see some of the uploaded ones: https://www.thesportsdb.com/events_main.php?s=Golf ...and more to come! | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | I was thinking any source, no rush, was just thinking others could help out making them from the templates. Another thing I was thinking was to maybe put a small thesportsdb logo on them somewhere so people know where they come from. I'm in 2 minds about that though as I like the clean look as they are. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Thought i'd have a go at updating some of the pga golf events. Ovokx are you happy for me to use your thumb designs etc. https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/613172 | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/613172 Sure! Glad you liked my design! Do you want/need the original PSD file? If you want, I can share it with you ;P Also loved your adaptation for posters and banners, but maybe for posters I would remove the TV logo in order to be used for any country | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | cheers Ovokx, have changed the tv graphic for the course name, think it looks OK. I use Gimp for images, not sure about PSD fiiles, if they work with Gimp that would be great. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Gimp & Photoshop aren't very good friends... Vector shape layers aren't supported (my PSD has) and text layers in PSDs won't be editable in Gimp | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | I prefer the 1st one personally. But both look equally as good EDIT: in fact I probably like the 2nd one better now I look at it... hehe | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Are you going to do it all manually? I've learned a way to batch process images in Photoshop using variables and a CSV file that has made life a lot easier when updating tournaments. It would make it a lot easier if you were to do every fixture in the NBA for instance. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | I'm also working on a feature that will store any event thumb for auto future use. The backend is already done, just trying to work out how the front end bit will work. | ||
