Discussion Bad Graphic Design

[Gibbsy]

Team announcement graphic posted by Coates Talent League. Just super hard to read. If you don't have headshots, don't bother with the holding box template thing.

Though this was a bit interesting, Atkins' guernsey fading out in a weird way

and his legs; some sort of half-arsed attempt at depicting movement I suppose. It's in character though; until we have a thorough clean out from top to bottom we will remain a half-arsed simulacrum of a real football club.

How would you do it?

I wouldn't do it at all. The fact that we are even discussing it here meant it didn't really work.

Further, based on the footy and I believe remembering he wore sleeves against Freo in Indigenous round, this a guernsey swap too. Just seems odd they went to the extent of changing his guernsey and not using another image (unless he has only played that game this year I'm not overly sure).

Maybe I’m just an old man yelling at clouds but for some reason this one really pissed me off. It makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

The teams are broken up into their divisions, which is fine. But the teams aren’t in alphabetical order. They’re not in the order of last years standings. They’re not in order of who’s won the most to least divisions. They’re not in order of who’s won the division most recently. Unless I’m mistaken it’s completely random and I hate it.

As much as it pains me, the NZ fern in the background is literally rough around the edges. You can tell they've just gotten the logo off of Wikipedia, magic eraser'd it in Photoshop and not attempted to fix the edges.

I'm not sure the Nix have hired in the past seasons, but definitely has been amateur hour for a little while.

Even in the written description they say Welcome Benny with any indication of what the player’s last name is

Someone in the graphic design team is not aware of their European history... surely that's been taken down?
