    Team Schedule Help

    I know this is not a big photoshop place, but I am desperate for ideas!

    The photo below is the team that I coach. We will be passing these out this weekend if I can finish this thing!! It has me stumped.

    I have 5 photos that I would like to squeeze in on the side and I cannot get it look right ... i.e. fit visually in the poster. (I can fit the 5 images, but I cannot come up with anything that looks good.

    All 5 photos are action, head shots, or single person shots.

    Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Note: I was thinking of the "film" idea, but I cannot find one that fits in the way I'd like. Nor am I good enough to make one yet.

    Re: Team Schedule Help

    It's kindof hard to visualize why the 5 photos do not look good.

    Can you show an example?

    First thing that comes to mind though is maybe you can shrink the schedule a bit.

    Also because I read left to right and am ocd, I'd like to see the schedule on the left and the pics to the right.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: Team Schedule Help

    Here is the basic attempt, much like what I did

    Maybe that is why I am not liking the poster. First I though to center the schedule, get more photos, but I thought they'd bee too small.

    That is why I went to the far right.

    I'll figure it out.

    I wasn't able to see your link.

    I guess another problem is I can't see the size of the poster. If you could put it in the middle and frame it in pics that would look cool. Even if you did the pics in a U-shape would look sweet.
