My Childhood Soccer Card Project

Description

In this project, I tried to create soccer cards which I played in my past.

You can see a picture about these cards at below.

I played these cards with my friends almost 20 years ago.

So, I decided to generate these cards with using transfermarkt datas.

I prepared some base photos as useful source for me. You can see them at below.

I created them using Gimp and MS Power Point.

I used a technique to get data from transfermarkt which is known as web scraping. Also, I manipulated the pictures and datas which is downloaded.

You can see the final result as below.
