This installment of the Template FC kit design tutorial for Football Shirt Culture and DesignFootball.com involves finishing touches and subtle adjustments.

Noah firstly takes us through colour correction and lighting techniques, and while he admits these are amongst the most advanced procedures he covers, they are hugely valuable in ensuring the finished mockup looks lifelike and professional.

Newly announced, Newcastle United have entered into a kit partnership with Castore and, accordingly, we are dedicating our New Kit Deal Challenge to concept kits for the Premier League club.

To mark the British brand providing the Magpies’ new kit in 2021-22, we’re looking to see what members can come up with for an alternate universe.

In Template FC’s latest Photoshop and Photopea tutorial episode, Noah explains how to use textures to add depth to designs.

We’re pushing god-level realism now, with concepts going beyond even what many actual manufacturers would have on their digital drawing board. Noah is providing a comprehensive look at what is possible, allowing budding (concept) designers to cherry pick what will work for fantasy creations.

In Episode 3 of Noah from Template FC’s Photoshop and Photopea tutorial, he takes the introductory ideas for patterning from the last episode and runs with them.

Showing us how we can modify and adapt what we’ve created to produce something entirely original, we learn we can go well beyond recolouring existing templates and elements.

Continuing the series of instructional videos applicable to Photoshop and/or Photopea, Noah from Template FC helpfully shows us, in Episode 2, how to add pattern designs to football kits.

Again showing the methodology of the process, and explaining how to obtain the resources required - including iconic patterning that will be familiar to most football kit fans - the video explores the possibilities in detail.

To the benefit of members of DesignFootball.com present and future, DF partnered with Template FC to provide a series of free tutorials to assist the creation of concept/fantasy football kits.

Covering options and tools available in Adobe Photoshop and the similar Photopea, this first episode covers the integration of different layers in terms of colouring, making them visible/invisible and adding/editing details, as well as providing an initial template to work on - with an aim of creating a finished product which suggests a photorealistic shirt.
