Lance Thomas designs scoreboard graphics for Senior Night in Cameron

PHOTO GALLERY: LT’s Senior Posters

Lance Thomas’ Senior Night involved more than the traditional senior introduction, intense game, and post-game speech, and started unofficially several weeks ago when he went to work on Photoshop.  The New Jersey native designed customized tribute posters for each senior (Jordan, Zoubs, Jon and himself) that were displayed on the Cameron scoreboard as each senior was announced prior to the game.

Said LT, “I wanted to do something special for the senior class.  I love my teammates, especially the guys that I came in here with and went to battle with.  We’ve been through a lot to get to this point and I wanted to do something special for the guys.   I made a poster for each senior for the scoreboard with their name and number on it.  I did it through Photoshop.  I was very happy with the way it turned out and I actually got to see it on the scoreboard and how it looked.  It was a great moment.  It was a part of an independent study class so I got some credit for it too.  It was all for the guys and I was happy I was able to do it.”

Here are Lance’s designs and his comments about each one…

“For the one with me dunking the ball, I wanted to accentuate the emotion.  I had back-to-back pictures, so I put them together.  I put a cloud in there to go sky high.”

“With Jordan’s, I wanted to show how quick he is.  Jordan is a blur on the court so I put four images as a blur to represent speed.  His turned out really cool.”

“Zoubs’ has a big Z in the background.  I wanted to accentuate the Z because the fans love him and do the Z for him in the stands, and that support has propelled him to play really well.”

“For Jon’s, I put Chicago in the background, the Chicago skyline.  Jon’s one of my closest friends on the team so I wanted to make sure his was special.  It also has stars coming from behind him to represent that he is a trailblazer.  It was nice.”
