    Any tips or anything for these? Which other legendary Bruins sign? I want to make the legends set first then the current stars!

    The cuts are pretty rough. Use a combination of magnetic lasso and polygonal lasso. If the first try isn't perfect, zoom in and use the alt and shift keys to add and subtract from the selection. If it's still a little rough, go to define edge in the selection menu and use smoothness, feathering, etc.

    Also, the font for the player's names is too small. There is way too much blank space below the logo. Use a larger font size and center it inside the box. And a border around the whole thing would be great too.

    Use the dodge, burn, and sponge tools on the players to make the colors more saturated and with better contrast. The Cammalleri and Courroyer images in particular could use a good amount of touching up.

    What I like the most is the texturing and drop shadow you put on the logos, it really gives the cards some dimension.

    These are just the ones I have posted, the cuts are a ton better on these now. The reason there is that blank space is for the autograph and the reason the name is there is so that it doesn't disrupt the soon to be autograph. Can you give me an example of the dodge, bur and sponge what you mean? I could send you one of the psd to see what it is. I think I will pass on the border though, but thanks for the suggestions and stuff, I will ponder the border most likely I won't do it though.

    Brad Park will sign c/o the Alumni, Murray Oliver is a great signer (if you can consider him a legend), Paul Coffey is a good signer, Milt Schmidt charges $5 but is a great signer, & Joe Mullen signs as well. As for the design I would add some sort of watermark to the background instead of a solid color if I were you.
