how do you make customs like that. i would love to get some of the visiting teams when they come into minnesota. i would have loved to make 1 up for mattingly and eithier yesterday since i got mattingly on a blank piece of cardboard and eithier on some cards.

I go on to google and search which ever player I am looking for (under photos) then pick the picture i like best, then I click it, view it full, not on the site, then copy. After that I open up powerpoint. paste it on the slide. Then I expand the photo, so that it takes up the whole slide (Make sure the photo is big enough originally, so it doesn't get distorted). After that I insert a text box at the bottom (or top), then put in the desired text. I change the color to the player's team's colors, but that is optional. Text size I usually put between 18-24. Then center the text.

After that make any adjustments needed. Then print on photo paper. 1 slide per page, is what I do, but it's up to you.

Hope this Helps! If you need any other help, let me know.

Thanks for reading!

Day 1 (for me) at Vikings training camp, today. Got up at 6:30 am to take the 2 hour endevor to Mankato and I can't argue with my results, here they are:
In the "Northland Ford Dealers Autograph Zone" (Linebackers were signing today)-
Chad Greenway 1/4 card
Jasper Brinkley 1/1 card
EJ Henderson 2/2 card
Ross Homan 1/1 "Autograph Card"

Outside lockeroom after practice-
Tristian Davis 1/1 Hat (hoping to get more players on it)
Donovan McNabb 0/2 cards;rode his bike past the 7 of us still standing there 2 hours after practice, told us he'd "catch us later".
Michael Jenkins 0/1 card;Rode away with McNabb, on his own bike.
Bernard Berrian 0/3 Same as Jenkins

Today was only a 1 practice day so it was/is dead, but I am going to hit up a bowling alley that many players go to, later tonight and possibly sit outside a team meeting if I can find out what time it is at.

[Autofreak2842]

Oh yeah, and the autograph zone is only 20 minutes of signing, that's why I only got 1 Greenway and just those 4.

[jyosi]

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't all days "1 practice days" now? I thought the new CBA banned 2-a-days.

Good luck at the bowling alley tonight.

[phillykid15]

I'm pretty sure that teams in the afternoon just do walk-throughs.

[Autofreak2842]

Phillykid is correct, it is a walkthrough, but has the same effect on graphing as an afternoon practic would. Last night I decided to skip the bowling alley and wait outside a team meeting (same thing imma do tonight). I got :

Toby Gerhadt 1/2 card
Jasper Brinkley 1/1 hat
Jeff Dugan 1/1 hat
Brian Robison 1/1 hat
Kyle Rudolph 1/1 hate (sucks cause I have like 6 cards of him, but didn't recognize him till it was too late)
Husain Abdullah 1/1 hat
Pat Brown 1/1 hat
Tremaine Johnson 1/1 hat
Eric Frampton 1/1 hat

McNabb signed, but skipped over me. grr.
Day 2 Morning practice:
Decided to skip the Sh it show that was the autograph zone today (QB's/WR's signing) there was about 2,000 more people than yesterday, all trying to get McNabb (most) not knowing it was only 20 mins and first come first serve. I instead went and sat outside the locker room and got:

Chis Kluwe 1/1 hat (great guy signed for everyone and talked/joked with fans)
Erin henderson 1/1 hat (signed for everyone)
Ryan Longwell 1/1 hat (signed a lot)
David Akinniyi 1/1 hat
Chris Degeare 1/1 hat

Harvin, Webb, Camarillo, Ponder, Rudolph all signed but all on the other side. Afternoon Walkthrough and Night Meeting still to come. Hoping to get more cards signed.
