I wish his head was turned more to the side so that his nose showed up in the outline.

There is a shot of him in the photo post from last Friday’s game (Noise, You Want Noise…etc) that is close! I’ll keep looking, and keep shooting!

Maybe I’ll catch another shot of him. I’ll also check my old photos – might be one there. If we can get The Nose, there will be no doubt who it is!

I tried doing something with the tape but the silhouette is white already. Any other color makes him look like a Rorschach test.

Ah, long story but we never made it.

If you recall, my daughter has been sick and had another relapse in March. (for another 3 weeks in hospital)

So we decided to postpone it indefinitely as she’s getting good and free treatment in Oz. (we would have to pay +30% in Singapore as expats)

Such is life.

Cheers for remembering though.

Next stop?? SA for a few games in 10/11 season!!! (will try)

Ah man. Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she’s doing better.

I hope you make it over. I’ll be ready.

I prefer the red, white, and blue classic…listing it that way just made me think you could make an Argentina flag colors themed one

either blue-white-blue or gold/yellow-white-blue…it is the National Basketball Association

by BlaseE on Apr 28, 2010 8:01 AM CDT reply actions

I think blue-white-blue and then using the stroke tool to add borders and putting the thick white outline then a thick gold outline would look awesome

I’ll give it a crack during my lunch break.

Which pose should I do for the re-design? The result will be more Manu-esque (Sorry JA, couldn’t find one with the right pose).

Layup or fade-away?

i prefer the shape of the layup

by BlaseE on Apr 28, 2010 12:51 PM CDT up reply actions

it might look really bad but the “20” looks really good in both pics so you could try not whiting out the number to make it more manu-ish too…could look really bad though

by BlaseE on Apr 28, 2010 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions

I like the fade away for several reasons:
1. It’s in profile, so you can see the nose in its full glory;
2. He’s shooting left handed;
3. If I’m not mistaken, that’s the shot that beat the Suns in Game 1 double OT in 2008 round 1.

You would want to reposition the right hand to make it work in silhouette, though, but otherwise, I think it really captures his Manu-ness.

by tomasito on Apr 28, 2010 1:01 PM CDT up reply actions

Only one thing bugs me about the fade-away: I had to rotate the picture a bit to kill some of the width.

yeah, that’s what I didn’t like about it….the other fits the layout so much better

I’m still looking for a profile shot with the ball in his hand.

Hey, Hirschof, click on my profile to get my e-mail address and then send me yours. I have found a few photos, and can attach them to an e-mail. An idea might be that as long as you’re photo shopping, you could but a profile head on the first body we used.

Found this one, all good except where he has the ball – what about this face on the first body?

The second one is great. Adding the ball is no problem.

I’ll shoot you an e-mail tomorrow morning. I prefer to use my work e-mail for images.

Okay – I posted the others on Manu’s website. He usually looks at it, but he may have a lot on his mind right now!

I’ve been looking for a certain pose for Duncan. There are three great pictures from last night’s game for Parker, Hill, and Blair.

I’m going to try one more Manu version for JA but I’m really happy with the fade-away.

I copied the silver and black logo onto transfer paper and ironed it on to a black shirt. Looks pretty cool.
