Trading Cards

So this project totally grew from a small idea into a great one! Our HS boys basketball coach had this idea to have giant posters made of his senior boys in action. I had the boys all come into my room where I photographed them in a variety of poses, then took my favorite & Photoshopped them into these posters. I included our one senior wrestler as well (we didn't have any senior girl athletes this year). I got them all finished and printed them onto one sheet for final approval from the coach before sending them off to be printed. When I saw them printed I realized they looked like authentic trading cards, so I printed off 150 of each boy. After a pep rally each senior athlete went to the lunchroom, sat at a table, and we had an official autograph session for the elementary students. It showed the seniors that they are role models, and that the elementary students DO look up to them. The elementary students were able to meet their idols and begin dreaming of their own athletic stardom!
