2010-18 Soccer Card Design

I’m assembling a complete run of soccer player cards that span the 2010 through 2018 seasons and need a polished, collectible-quality design ready by the end of September. I’ll supply high-resolution photos and core data for each athlete; what I’m looking for is a cohesive front-and-back card layout I can reuse across the entire set, plus finished examples for the initial batch so I can be sure the look and feel are locked in.

The visual direction should feel fresh and professional—something that still leaves room for individual club colors or subtle styling tweaks year-over-year without breaking the overall harmony of the nine-season collection. Clean typography, smart use of space for a player image, name, season identifier and a small block for stats or a short bio should all be considered.

Deliverables
• Master editable template (Adobe Illustrator or layered PSD)
• Print-ready versions of each sample card (CMYK, 300 dpi PDF)
• Web-friendly exports for sharing (RGB, 1080 px height PNG/JPEG)

Timeline
First draft of the master template is due within one week of project start; the full approved set should be wrapped by September’s end.

If you’ve created trading, sports, or collectible card designs before, sharing that work will help me see how you balance imagery, data, and style. Looking forward to seeing your ideas for bringing this multi-season card collection to life.
