Black Hole? I would stay away from that...and it looks like their is too much open space in the poster...hope this isn't too late.

[aasp]

tomorrow's the last day

what can I add?

[jHawk]

make the background picture something with more color and meaning...maybe a stadium or a crowd as the backdrop?

[aasp]

I can't find a good picture of their stadium

Maybe just make the original smaller?

[jHawk]

Even better.

[aasp]

but the background and all the images are silver and black, wouldn't this mess up the collage??

[jHawk]

Are you using photoshop?

[aasp]

yeah, photoshop elements 2.0

[jHawk]

Use just blend the players with the background...maybe add a brush layer with some white and blend that between the players and the background.

[aasp]

my teacher just said it needs to be a background with a gradient

can't use the stadium :(

[jHawk]

What a fucking goobie. Slap him.

[aasp]

he changed the due date to after spring break

so here's pic 3:
