Card Templates FONT NAME IS Copperplate Gothic Bold Want to contribute but don't have Photoshop? PM me! Hi SHL, I’d like to introduce an idea. A fully automated SHL Trading Card system! Some of you may have an interest in hockey cards, we’d like to bring the fun and excitement of collecting cards to the SHL, along with the incentive of rewards for finishing card collections. I have a very simple mockup here which you can download and run on a PC by unzipping it and opening /shl-trading-cards/markup/trading-cards.html in a web browser (firefox or chrome). To reiterate, it is a very simple mockup without any of the flash that the final product will have. Mockup zip file here. With several improvements coming to the site in the near future, including a fully automated bank, the possibility for creating other automated systems going to be a possibility. This means we can create a real time, fully responsive card opening section on the SHL forums. No waiting for someone to randomly generate the pack for you, and hopefully a flashy user interface to make open packs an exciting process. Pack openings, bank withdrawals, player collection tracking, and collection rewards can be fully automated to keep this from becoming a difficult to maintain part of the site. Personally I think it’s really cool to see my player on a hockey card. You can find a few of the cards that have already been made below. Before we can launch the trading card program we have to do a couple things.
How to Contribute 1. Take a look at the list of players which need a card created for them in the render DB. Finished cards will have the to card's URL in the Current Card URL column (if a player already has a card made for them but you think you can improve on that card you’re free to give it shot) 2. If the player does not have a render listed we ask that you please ask the user for their preferred render before working on the card. If you'd like to help us fill out the rest of render DB with player renders the best way to do that is to ask people to fill out this form 3. Grab the team template for your chosen player from this link (both PNGs and PSDs are available). You’re free to add a signature logo to your card to show that you’re the create of it, we ask that you keep this logo black and white and confined to the upper righthand corner (as examples, Alaska is using an outline of Alaska while Esso is using... I think that’s grass on the Luke Thomason card?) MAKE SURE TO USE THE TEMPLATE, IT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BASE CARDS. 4. Get to work on the card! Once you’ve finished it you can submit it by sending a PM to myself (@caltroit_red_flames) or @39alaska39. In the future we will have a forum for submissions 5. Submit your final product for grading to the graphics team. Whether or not your card is chosen be sure to get compensation for your efforts! Example Cards We're starting with a base pack which will include cards for all current players in the SHL, but we have future goals for future packs as well, including:
