Artwork Title:  Redskins Season Statistics
Filename:       REDSKINS.CCH

DESCRIPTION:

"Redskins Season Statistics" is an overhead which I created 
in CorelCHART! to help convince the participants in my 
NFL Football pool that the World Champion Washington Redskins 
are not out of it yet for an NFC playoff berth this 1992 season. 
It was made possible thanks to CorelCHART!, CorelPHOTO-PAINT!, 
and CorelDRAW!

REDSKINS.CCH was created almost entirely with the Corel 
graphics applications CorelCHART!, CorelPHOTO-PAINT!, and 
CorelDRAW!  About 80% of this artwork was done with these Corel 
products.  I began by using the Redskins season statistics 
through twelve weeks of the current National Football League 
season.  With this information, I created a Vertical Bar Chart 
in CorelCHART!  I found the image of a football in the clipart 
bundled with CorelDRAW!  In CorelDRAW! the image was re-sized, 
rotated, vertically mirrored, and exported as a Windows Metafile.  
The Vertical Bar Chart was made into a Pictograph using the 
football image.

Next, I scanned as 100 dpi TIF files, two separate photographs 
from the magazine, "Sports Illustrated" (one picture of a 
stadium end-zone, and another of a Redskins player catching 
a pass).  These two pictures were pasted together, and the seam 
eliminated using CorelPHOTO-PAINT!  I used Fractal Design Painter 
to filter and modify the picture to gain a painted appearance, 
and CorelPHOTO-PAINT! was used to convert it back into an 
8-bit 256-color image.  The picture was then imported into 
CorelDRAW!, placed onto a background, then exported 
as a Windows Metafile.

Back in CorelCHART!, I changed the background of the Vertical 
Bar Pictograph using the painted photograph Metafile.  The 
pictograph was resized and moved, and text added.  The text at 
the bottom axis of the pictograph was done in CorelDRAW!, 
pasted into CorelCHART!, resized, and placed properly on the 
axis.

The entire job was done in about eight hours of continuous work.
