New Year, New Look, New Templates

Well the title should really be "New Year, Updated Look, Updated Templates", but it didn't sound as catchy.


Anyways, as you can see I've made a few changes to the look of the blog, but I've kept the basic design intact.  The logo is the same as before, but it is now only in one shade of green, so it doesn't have the bevel effect it had before.  That one shade of green is a brand new shade of green, it is darker than the kelly green I was using previously but lighter than the forest green.  I also have moved the pages for my concept series and jersey collection up to the top where the other pages are.

I have also updated all the templates that were on the Templates page.  Most of the changes were very minor (ranging from making sure the shade of grey used for the jersey stitching was consistent throughout all the templates, to changing the position of the sock stripes to a more accurate height, among with many other minor changes), but I did make one non-minor change which is the option of adding a visor to the helmet.


I based the visor off of this image on the facebook page of The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database, so if anyone should get credit it should be the guy who runs that website.  I also made a two layer version of the helmet and visor (that you can find on the Templates page), which is good for programs like Paint.Net that have that the ability to have more than one layer.

Vancouver Canucks Third Jersey:
Now I wanted to create a concept to share using the updated templates, but I had no ideas for concepts so I just made the Canucks current third jersey.  You can see on the image the two layer version of the visor, which has a bit of shading.

Happy New Year everyone!
