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.
