Like every other hockey fan, I was intrigued by this story. No, Fenton didn't actually play in the game, and eventually this all will be forgotten. But I don't think anyone would turn down the opportunity to be an NHL backup goalie for a night.
Thus, I made a custom card of him. I chose this year's Upper Deck Victory set because I was able to find a nice portrait, and Victory uses portraits and close-ups on their Victory Rookies subset.
I know the story is almost 2 weeks old, but this card took a surprising amount of work. Normally, I would take an existing card and WHAM BAM change the name and photograph, maybe jazz it up a bit.
However, Victory did not feature any Coyotes players in their Victory Rookies subset, so I had to make this card from scratch. For those of you who "know" computer graphics, that means I had to make a design in Illustrator and then composite it in Photoshop. I also had to track down a font that matched the lettering used on the player and team names. Even still, I had to mix different fonts to get the desired effect.
Ironically, I spent more time working on this card than Fenton spent sitting on the Coyotes' bench. But I'm very pleased with the results.
