How do I get a football themed border in photoshop?
me n’ mona asked:
I’m doing this project for a friend and she made a request that I don’t know how to produce. She wants an 8×10 photo (Horizontal) with 3 photos in one. Simple really. BUT she wants the center photo only to have a football as the border and the photo inside of it. I’ve looked online and can’t seem to find anything helpful. Any ideas?
Acidantheras: I thought about doing it that way but I guess she wants a more “cartoonish” or drawn football? Like the ones that you see on the cheesy sport package photographs. I didn’t know if there was an instant fix. I appreciate your help and I will try doing it that way. Thank you!!

ok there is a number of ways of doing this
but the best is to close your YOUR eyes and picture it-Devinci said if you can imagine it you can do it.
if you want to rely on my imagination go to ESPN SPORTS UNDER FOOTBALL then go through their photos-and offer her to chose which football foto she prefers as the border-then if you dont have your own dark room-take it to the photo shop when one will be there that works on photo design -bring it in and have at it-and give a tip for the time-which may be offered ahead of time
and I suggest making a second with million dollar football player not worshiping the ball but giving thanks to Jesus for anything at all.
I think what you are saying is that you want one football with the picture in the middle of it and then two other pictures on the sides. Is that correct?
If that’s the case, find a picture of a football (I found several really nice photos and vectors at, but you’ll have to pay for them. They can be as little as $1 each, but you have to start with something like a $12 credit. You may be able to find something else for free, but I couldn’t find any right away.). You’ll have several layers you are working with in the final picture, but add the football as a layer after you re-size it to the correct dimensions. Maybe even add a drop shadow for effect. If your final picture has a background, you will need to crop out the football from its background using your favorite method (lasso, extract, etc.).
Add a border to the picture that will go on the middle (like a small white border), re-size it, and add it as another layer. You can move it around until it’s in the correct position. Then flatten when you are all done.
Does that answer your questions? If not, add to your post and I’ll try to help.
Good luck!!!
