Post your first (or first few) designs in this thread to have a look at how much your designs have improved (or deteriorated o_O).

Here are my first few:

Here's my first one. Made it when I was 10. Love the explanation :p

My first design was actually a football (soccer) kit for a fantasy team known as the Mustangs.

By the time I started designing AFL guernseys I had just finished this retro football design for Plymouth Argyle

But then came these two for the Toowoomba Football club (a relocated Gold Coast team due to global warming and rising sea levels)

Okay I didn't have all my designs and they are probably on different PCs, so I searched for my oldest posts from this board and came up with a few from 2008

My first design ever, a Port clash idea

And then from 2010 onwards, when i'd had a lot more experience with photoshop and had done a lot of soccer kit editing

A couple of entries in a Melbourne Hawks merger comp

A guernsey for UniSA

Probably my most replicated design, I think i've done it on every template i've ever had. Black and charcoal prison bars.

An idea for the new West Sydney AFL team that had just been announced

and again on a better template

And now to finish off, my first couple of competition wins!

Firstly, a kit for my Dreamteam, the mighty ThunderPowers

And an Essendon/Brisbane merger which I changed to Essendon/Fitzroy for the victory

This was great to go back over! I think i've learned a fair bit over the journey. It shows that anyone can learn a lot just by mucking around with their image editing program of choice, and learning from some of the excellent designers we have on this board.

Get ready fellas cos you are about to see the most awesome template of all time! This is my very first jumper I designed, circa December 2005. It is on a template a friend from school made at the time, and it has never been seen in public... until now!

I designed a whole set of home/clash jumpers on this template... and that was before clash jumpers were even beginning to fully come into vogue!

It wasn't very long till I found Mero's website, so I shamelessly stole his images and transferred my designs to them. Here are a few examples:

I wasn't very creative then, I'm not any more creative now. Infact, I'm probably less creative.

Here is my first. Ended up being the only one I've had printed as a real jumper, too.

My first designs were done with textas, not with software.
I have lovingly re-created them here for the purposes of illustration, however they were originally done with a Blue pen outline and then coloured in.
The original template may not have been quite as square as shown here as it was hand drawn.
 
So what teams are those? :)

(As for the first design I drew by hand, it was after reading an article by Kevin Bartlett in the local Leader newspaper (he used to have a regular column) regarding former jumper designs. I had a go at doing Richmond's black with single yellow hoop. Did a few others too but that was the first.)
 
My first hand drawn was a Freo clash I drew with textures in a school notebook.
I cannot find the actual drawing, but I recreated it from memory:

*That anchor logo did not exist when I drew the original but it's a closer resemblence to both the one I did draw and anything else Freo's ever had.
