1. Odell Beckham Jr. : to make this piece I used Photoshop for the entire photoshop. I combined Odell's jersey from when he played on the New York Giants and his jersey from his current team the Cleveland Browns. I places a total of 6 images of him showing when he played for each team. I colorized each image and blended them into the background of the image by using layer masks and a deep blue color filter over the entire thing. 

2. Lamar Jackson: Lamar Jackson is a front runner in the MVP race this year in the   2019-20 season and he plays for the Baltimore Ravens. He is famous for his insane speed and agility and that is why I added a motion blur and the lines behind him. I put an overlay of a lined background in the back and added another blue-ish background with soft light onto it to make it blend to the background of the photo. I also added raven feathers showing emphasizing his speed and the feathers flying back. 

3. Kobe Bryant: Kobe is one of the greatest basketball players ever and I blended his old and new jersey together to show his two points in his career. He played as number 8 for the first half of his career and I blended colorized images into the background of him playing as number 8 and on the other side of when he played as number 24. I added the words "MAMBA OUT" to restate what he said when he played his final game.

4. Stephen Curry: Steph is proven by stats to be the greatest shooter of all time. A term in basketball that is commonly used is that someone's jumpshot is "wet" or "water" whenever this person makes every shot or is a great shooter. I made the water surround Stephen Curry because he is such a great shooter and because his shot is so pure. I layer masked the Golden Gate Bridge in the back because he plays for the Golden State Warriors and I also placed his logo and made an overlay to blend in with the water theme.

5. Joe Burrow: Joe is the 2019 Heisman Award winner, which is given to the best college football player each season. I made a collage of him with the photos in the background that had been colorized to fit in to the background. Around Joe Burrow in the middle I placed cut outs of lightning to brighten the outline of his stature to make him stand out. I placed fire on the ball because of how fast he throws his balls. I finally typed out Geaux Tigers because of how much that is part of the LSU culture and their football team.
