The trading card assignment (4 stars) was probably one of my favorites to do so far. It took me an unbelievable amount of time to finish this assignment. I was over-thinking it way too much. I was trying to use photoshop for the longest time before I realized that I could just use a site on the internet. I used http://bighugelabs.com/deck.php to create my cards and it was really simple.

The harder part was trying to find out what characters to use and what to put on the card. I settled with “Bunny” Colvin, Cedric Daniels, Jimmy McNulty, and Stringer Bell for the characters that I would use during this assignment. I used Skitch to screenshot the characters and crop the pictures. This was after hitting pause 1 million times trying to get the right picture for the card. Then I saved the picture to my computer and uploaded it to Big Huge Labs.

All of the pictures came from episode 9 of season 2. I used the characters names and their respective titles. The icons that are on the card was my way of expressing how the characters come off to the audience. I tried to make it like they were the traits that the characters had and the more icons they had the more dynamic character they were. The quotes were sayings from each character in the episode that I felt meant something to the overall meaning of the episode.

I had fun creating these cards and I hope you all like them.
