Where is my creditHey guys. Thought I'd share my latest project with you all - a graphics set I've created for my new facebook page 'The AFL Update'.
Profile picture / watermark:
I decided to recreate the AFL logo here - keeps it easily identifiable as an AFL page, without just using the actual logo itself. Started from scratch using basic oval shapes, a similar font, and some cut and slash use of the smudge tool. Here's what I came up with...
Cover art:
This was inspired by the Real Madrid facebook page. I liked the 'bleed' kind of effect I'd achieved with the profile picture, so I experimented with some smudge techniques here as well.
Fixture:
The English Premier League has a similar format which they use to show the times of games in local timezones. I thought the timezones part was pretty important, seeing as the page is obviously aimed at fans all across the country - so when I created this fixture template, I made sure to include them. Including the host TV network seems to always create discussion. ("F*^#ing Foxtel!!!")
Pre-game:
I'm in the process of creating these in advance for every game this season. When the subs and late changes are released 90 minutes before the match, we upload them alongside this graphic. I've tracked down photos of the outside of every stadium that will host an AFL match this season, at every time of day, in every weather condition. Don't try that one at home...
Final score:
Channel 10 circa-2007 inspired. This one gets updated in final few minutes of the game, and uploaded the moment the final siren sounds.
Post-match summary:
This comes soon after the final score graphic.
Couldn't resist ^
Round results:
Same template as the fixture. Gets posted soon after the last game of the round.
And finally... the Ladder:
You might have seen this NAB challenge version floating around the web over the last couple of days.

That's everything... for now. Let me know what you think!
(and don't forget to follow the page!)

Gysenn, this is magic! It looks like they are modernised Channel 10 graphics, which I was a fan of (and many others).

This gets posted at 8am every morning, recapping on the previous day's news.
Would love some feedback on this one... I think I need another set of eyes on it before I'll be entirely happy with it. Kind of (not intentionally) has an ABC news feel to it at the moment.

Big fan of these! I liked the page so I could see more of them 
Tiny little thing here would be to "scroll" the live feed ticker along so that the Crowley and Geelong stories were most visible, rather than Essendon and Crowley stories. The headline is already covering the Essendon story, so no need to double up, but looking at the image alone I have no idea what the Geelong story is about.This gets posted at 8am every morning, recapping on the previous day's news.

This threw me for a second
I legitimately tried to click See more. Damn trolls. Get off my lawn.
same, but alas, the socks.
Doggies (and Port) were down a few players that day so Essendon lent them a few players
pretty sure it was Essendon who were short a few players...

Good to see this one getting some love!
I must admit, I was pretty disappointed I didn't get to use this today... Liked it much better than the 'not guilty' one I made.

Do you have an image for GWS winning the cup, or is that too farfetchedGood to see this one getting some love!
