No worries, do we get a NAFLR one to use or is it the same for both?

All the logos are in post #2

Same for both, makes life easier.

For the Retro Round logo? Both images are in layers so just hide the background.

Sorry to do this now but i think i might pull out from this year. I'm just not confident that my designs will beat others that are put out. Also haven't really been a fan of the bigfooty environment lately.
Good luck to everyone involved

Bit of a weak excuse to pull out, tbf. I mean, you're free to do as you wish but end of the day, it's the Reserves where you're supposed to be developing. To not enter because you don't think you'll win, I just don't understand.

But that's just my two cents.

Well yeah, that's the thing, there's like 15-20 teams in the comp so by your logic, I should just cancel NAFL because not everyone can make the final so what's the point?

I'm entering this comp as someone who did a bit of graphic design on the side at uni and other than that I'm largely self taught. I know I'm more than likely not going to win, but I'm having a go to try and challenge myself and see if I can continue to improve as a designer.

You'd be surprised how quickly you improve when regularly entering comps on here, because you learn what does and doesn't work. Even looking at my first ever entry on here, I can see how much I've improved from then until now.





When I started I was using colours that were WAY too vibrant and offensive, and I was trying to pack way too many elements into a jumper just to have as much 'cool' stuff as I could.

Now, I'm much more conscious of the brightness and saturation of colour I choose so they're not so hard to look at, and I try and take a less is more approach with the elements I use to make a jumper look modern and sleek without making it too busy.

This has just come from me entering competitions when I have time to do so. I haven't won anything in over 12 months of entering comps, but I can see the improvement I've made as a designer and it's super satisfying.

[Barrybran]

Deadline is Tuesday so I'm just going to work with what I've received by then. I appreciate those who have let me know they won't be able to submit. As for the 'am I good enough' question - please put something in if that's your only hold up. We can't all be Freight Train when we start....

Loved the thicc template

I was designing for AFLW before AFLW was a thing. Get around me.

 

[Fizzler]

I won’t be able to get anything in sadly, sorry for the late notice but I was hoping I’d be able to make something but it’s simply become unachievable at this point. Sorry fellas

 

[Barrybran]

Thanks to everyone who has submitted entries. I'll do what I need to do and we'll kick this off in line with the main comp. Stay tuned!

 

[Freight Train]

There might be a few vacancies in the top flight this season, so depending on how things go if people have any last minute entries they’d like to get in - we will probably see a couple of Reserves entries gain automatic entry into the main competition.

How manyare we talking? I've only got eight for Ressies all up.

 

[Freight Train]

To those who haven’t entered - is there a particular reason why you have opted not to enter this year?

Does it come down to the timing (is September a bad time?), or is there other factors coming into play? Is there anything I can do to see more numbers coming in, because I’m concerned at the lack of entries both for the main league and the reserves this season compared to past years.

Like, are exams or anything like that an issue for designers?

If I need to push this out another few weeks or even longer, is this going to help?

Just a bit frustrating, and there’s almost no point running the competition starting this week if the numbers aren’t there.

All 8 Reserves teams to NAFL!

A potential solution should you not get any more entries (not sure if it fits in the current rules); if there are some Reserves entries that you judge wouldn't be out of place in NAFL, perhaps they could compete in both comps to maintain numbers.
