Okay, so I wanted to create some cool graphics featuring Shannon Sharpe, you know, the NFL Hall of Famer and sports commentator. I figured, why not document the whole process? It might be helpful for someone else trying to do the same thing, or maybe just interesting to see how I went about it.
Getting Started: The Search
First things first, I needed pictures. Lots of them. So, I fired up my web browser and headed over to a search engine.
I typed in “Shannon Sharpe” and…well, you get a ton of results. But I wanted variety, so I tried some different searches:
- “Shannon Sharpe Broncos” (to get those classic playing days shots)
- “Shannon Sharpe Undisputed” (for his commentator gig)
- “Shannon Sharpe funny” (to capture the full range of expressions)
I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through the image results. I was looking for high-quality photos, different poses, and good lighting. Nothing blurry or too small. If it looks bad as a small image on google, then when I blow it up, its gonna look REAL bad.
The Download Spree
Once I found a bunch of images I liked, I started downloading them. I created a new folder on my desktop just for this project, named it “Shannon Sharpe Pics,” and saved everything in there. Organization is key, people!
Making Some Cool
With a folder now bursting with Shannon Sharpe goodness, I had what I needed.
