p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · HS Basketball Banner - Need Suggestions for Improvement


Each year we put a 6'x9' banner in the gym. The theme for this season is "The Sky is the Limit" The photo shoot is over and so it is a little too late for suggestions on improving the posing etc.

I don't like the font for the theme. Any suggestions?

Any poster design suggestions? I wanted to darken the background on the shot so the hanger isn't as prominent so I put a little vignette. Too much? Not enough?

Thanks in advance.

Should I remove the yellow rescue arrow or try to keep things as realistic in the jet?

I like it. First thoughts: Should be "The Sky's the limit", cuz that's how people actually say the slogan, and that text should be bigger and in front of the jet.
there should be a basketball somewhere in there.

Did you think about cutting out the hanger part, both above and where the gray floor stops in the back and adding a bright blue sky with clouds? I agree the text should be bigger and with more definition.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I will change the slogan.

I exchanged emails with the coach to bring basketballs and some spare nets that I could incorporate into the shot and they forgot them.

Hmm... Good suggestion on having a layer with the sky in the background. Let me look into a sky/cloud image that would be a good option for that.

Thanks again.

Here is another attempt...

I HATE my font and effects on the slogan. Any help is appreciated.

I like the last one. I would still like to see a basketball somewhere. What about sticking a 1/4 of a basketball (maybe translucent) in the upper right corner behind the text?

I personally like #3. To me, the plane looks more like a spaceship, when the hangar is substituted by sky because the wheels are out of sight. I prefer the font in #3 to that in #2.

Why is there sky under the the plane? try just darkening under the plane and maybe adding a sky above (but lighter) otherwise it draws all the attention from the players away
