HOD Commemorative Ticket Collage

RESM2013 · January 5, 2014

I'm going to have a commemorative ticket collage made for myself and friend, and wanted to share our concept/get feedback from you all.

Basically, it's going to look like this:

With this picture:

I was thinking Green/Black suede matting, with the game score, date and location.

All thoughts, comments and feedback are welcome.

That's fantastic.

I'm hoping to do the exact same thing.

Question: How did you purchase that picture?

(I'm clueless about that sort of thing)

RESM2013 · January 5, 2014

I'm not sure where you can buy the picture.

I found one large enough for what I'm doing (5x7) here:

The AP has a large selection of photos from the game, but that's a whole other ball game of licensing the photo as I don't believe they sell individual prints:

Thanks for providing this link. I was able to purchase an individual print.

Great idea. I'd be interested to know where you get it done at. I have an untorn ticket saved from the game specifically for this purpose.

Check Rick Yeatts (sp?) site, you could also use the team shot in front of the Cotton Bowl entrance.

Good Idea... Post it when it is done.

How much was the print?

Green59 · January 5, 2014

How much was the print?

$28.90 which includes shipping for an 8 by 10 print. 8 by 10 is the smallest size you can order.

I'd be interested in knowing who and how much you pay for that setup. I've already got the photo I intend to use from our field storming.

After each of UNT's 4 bowl games last decade the UNT Athletic Dept. hired a professional media group to do a DVD on each of those 4 bowl year's respective seasons highlights with the entire bowl game as part of those DVD's. I expect they will do the same for this season and this bowl game, too.

GMG!

I've reached out to DRC photographer David Minton via twitter inquiring about how to go about purchasing one of his photos.

Haven't heard back yet, but will post if/when I do.

David posts on here. Quite a bit actually. If you support him you are supporting a true Mean Green fan... and someone who I may or may not have snuck into bars during the first NO Bowl trip.

And they should have done so for our 2 SBC basketball titles. :thumbsd:

I lost my ticket somewhere in the Cotton Bowl. I've thought about putting some kind of frame together, but no ticket, no go.

Ya did? (runs over to Twitter...)

I thought this was a great idea and ordered one from Michael's today. It was $98. I will post a picture of it when it comes in. Should get it by the 31st.

Here is the collage. Specs for those that want one: used satin black frame with a double mat of Lawn green (C9896) and Ivory black (B8517). My wife designed the lower right image and I used the pic at the beginning of the thread. They floated the ticket on the lower mat so it wouldn't cut off any of the info.
