I was hoping to whip this up in a couple hours tonight just so I could break up the last two A&G box posts. But image editing with a program from 1992 just takes a lot of time. Plus I was starting from scratch since this subject has to be in the 2023 Ginter design instead of last year's, which I already had the templates made up for.
From what I've (briefly) read, the most popular couple nickname for Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift is "Traylor". But that was just one article. I kinda like mine - pronounced "tray kay and tay tay".
Now I'm a metal head from the 80's so I'll never consider myself a Swiftie at any point. I don't know a lot of her songs, but she's geniunely and extremely adorable. Kelce seems like a bit of a frat boy, but he's goofy too, so I wish them well. There are hardly any good shots of the two of them together yet, so I had to fake it with these two images. Does it look legit?
This 2023 design is tough to piece together. I took Max Scherzer's card (since he had the nice light colors) and eliminated his picture. Then I extended the upper background all the way across to make it easy to paste on top of it. But then I realized I had to separate the bottom half and make that so it would paste on top of the photo. Took some liberties with the edges, so they differ from the original. The name section is a bit narrow, but I'm rolling with it.
One of these days I'll learn PhotoShop for real and be able to manipulate layers much better and also make the photos look more like drawings so they blend better.
Kelswift (tm) is such a prominent part of the cultural zeitgeist that I wouldn't be surprised to see a card like yours in next year's A&G set.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Traft.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of this thing, and I want it to end, but I'm a fan of his brother so I can't hope bad things happen to him.
The pic seems fine to me, though I'm not a photoshop expert.
