Resource The Template and Resource Thread

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

On behalf of the FJGD community, welcome to The Template and Resource Thread.

This thread will outline the most popular templates used by users on this board, ordered by program, with downloadable links. Known tutorials will also be listed for each program.

Over time, as new templates and tutorials are developed and created by the community on this board, this thread will be updated. That said, this thread is intended to be 'barebones' - only the very best and most popular things will be in here, not everything.

I highly recommend taking a look at this thread on improving execution - the small things you can do to your design to make it look 100% more professional. See this thread to contribute, to ask questions or for general template discussion. For feedback on your own templates, ask in this thread.

For archival purposes, I'll link the previous 'Universal Template Thread' here. Unfortunately, it has become outdated. It is full of dead links and it is ordered in a chronological order which means it isn't intuitive to use. However, it does contain many other templates and various useful images, so it does have some value.

Anyway, I'm rambling, so without any further ado.

Photoshop / Raster Templates

While Photoshop was originally intended for alteration of 3D photos, it can handle the creation of footy jumpers quite well and it is, perhaps, the most popular program amongst users on this board. Here are the best and most popular Adobe Photoshop templates.

Illustrator / Vector Templates

Adobe Illustrator is a program that was designed specifically for 2D graphic design, and so it is the perfect program to create football jumpers. I highly recommend it. If you do choose this program, which I suggest you do, I recommend you familiarise yourself with the 'Pen Tool'. It's a brilliant tool and there are a multitude of video tutorials available on YouTube.

Paint Templates

While Paint isn't the best program to create graphic design with, it is easy to access and easy to use.

A bunch of jumper elements, such as sashes, hoops, etc, can be found in the old universal template thread, linked in the OP. (May contain dead links/images but has a fair bit to work with)
