Hi guys, im sure the first thing you will think is that i came to the wrong place to ask for this.
But here i go, Im trying to make a soccer award certificate for my soccer school and i cant find anything that could be really nice for the kids to be impress about having a piece of paper on their hand. the old certificate style is base on a group picture in the middle of the certificate and points gained by them in dribbling,shooting etc. if somebody has an idea or a design that can share with me i will really appretiate that.
pls let me know if you have something to share with me.
thanks a lo

You came to the right place, I think. If I were you, I'd find a picture of a someone playing soccer and bring it in Photoshop erase background, then Filter>blur several times the person kicking "only", then bring a picture of a soccer ball into Photoshop, erase the background. Next bring the soccer ball layer over top the blur person kicking it, so that it looks like it has already been kicked. Increase the size of soccer ball to make it look like it's coming at you, but do not blur the soccer ball.
Put this layered image on the side of the certificate.
Or you could "simply" add a ribbon to the certificate & place a soccer ball inside the ribbon.
*Either way a "high resolution" (not 72 dpi) picture of a soccer ball is best to be downloaded, & would look more appropriate/sharp. _________________ Once you're at the top, keep climbing!

Is there anything wrong with the current design that you're not happy with? It doesn't sound too bad to me - it's got a picture of THEM, information about THEM. What's not to like?
If you want to go the Photoshop way, plenty of people here will help you out. But for the same amount of time investment, kids might better enjoy something personal - perhaps some personalised words for each kid highlighting something good that they've done during the season?
I know for my daughter's soccer team there is one thing which never fails to generate excitement - red frog lollies!
[Just my opinion] Think about what you'd like, you're very welcome here and we'll all help, but don't forget that sometimes a thing doesn't have to be "perfect" to be meaningful. The kids are lucky to have somebody who cares so much!
