Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… “playing basketball sports player design” thing. Don’t rightly know what all them fancy words mean, but I reckon it’s about makin’ pictures of them basketball fellas, right? Like them posters and stuff you see at the store.
Now, I ain’t no artist, mind you. Can barely draw a stick figure straight. But I seen enough pictures in my day to know what looks good and what don’t. If you wanna make a picture of a basketball player, first thing you gotta do is make him look like he can actually play the game, you know? Gotta have him lookin’ strong, like he could jump high and run fast. Don’t want no skinny little fella lookin’ like he gonna fall over if the wind blows.
- Make ’em look tough!
- Make ’em look like they can jump!
- Make ’em look like they know what they’re doin’ with that ball!
And that ball, that’s important too. Gotta make it look round and orange, like a real basketball. Not some flat, lumpy thing. And the player, he gotta be holdin’ it right, you know? Like he’s gonna shoot it or dribble it. Not just standin’ there holdin’ it like a sack of potatoes.
Now, where you gonna put this picture? On a flyer? A poster? On the internet, whatever that is? If it’s for a flyer or somethin’, you gotta make it eye-catchin’. Big letters, bright colors. Gotta grab people’s attention. You can’t just have some little picture in the corner that nobody can see. That ain’t gonna sell nothin’.
And speakin’ of sellin’ things, I heard tell there’s places online where you can find pictures of basketball players. Places like… “Be-hance” and “Free-pick” and “Dribb-ble”, somethin’ like that. Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me, but the young folks seem to know what they’re talkin’ about. They say you can find all sorts of pictures there, free ones and ones you gotta pay for. I guess if you ain’t got the time or the talent to make your own picture, that’s a good place to go.
But if you’re gonna make your own, you gotta think about what kind of player you wanna show. Is he a shooter? A dribbler? A big fella who plays under the basket? Each one of them fellas plays different, so you gotta make ’em look different too. A shooter, he gotta look like he’s got good aim. A dribbler, he gotta look quick and shifty. And that big fella, he gotta look strong and tough, like he ain’t afraid of nothin’.
They say there’s all sorts of fancy ways to play this basketball game, too. “Eye-so-lay-shun” and “pick and roll” and all that. Sounds complicated to me. I just like watchin’ ’em run and jump and throw that ball in the hoop. But I guess if you’re makin’ a picture, you gotta know this stuff, so you can make the player look like he’s doin’ the right thing.
And don’t forget, basketball ain’t just about one fella. It’s a team sport, they say. So maybe your picture should show more than one player. Maybe they’re workin’ together, passin’ the ball, tryin’ to score. That’s what makes the game excitin’, seein’ them fellas work together like a well-oiled machine. Like a bunch of bees workin’ together in a hive, all doin’ their part.
I heard tell there’s even fellas in the basketball who are known for how they dress, not just how they play. Fancy clothes, they say. “Stylish,” they call it. Well, I don’t know nothin’ about that. But I guess if you’re makin’ a picture, you gotta think about that too. What kind of clothes is your player wearin’? Is he wearin’ a uniform? Or somethin’ fancy? It all depends on what you’re tryin’ to say with your picture.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this “playing basketball sports player design” thing. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I know what I like. And I like pictures that look real, that look like they’re tellin’ a story. So go on, make your picture. Make it good. And make it so even an old lady like me can understand what’s goin’ on.
