Photoshop Experts Wanted: Help Us Grow the FM Kit Creator Template Library (Paid Opportunity)

Since launching FM Kit Creator, we've been blown away by the incredible designs you've all produced. One of the most frequent requests we get is for more templates to spark your creativity.



Our goal has always been to provide the most comprehensive and versatile kit creation tool available. To achieve that, we need to significantly expand our library of base kit templates, offering a wider variety of collars, cuts, and styles from different manufacturers and eras.

This is where you come in - we are looking to hire a graphics specialist to help converting templates from Photoshop files to the format that we use in the Kit Creator.

We have access to a wealth of high-quality kit templates in Photoshop (PSD) format, but they need to be carefully converted to work seamlessly within the FM Kit Creator system. We are seeking a talented individual to help us with this task on a paid, freelance basis.

What Does the Role Involve?

Your primary responsibility will be converting existing Photoshop kit templates into the FM Kit Creator format. This involves:

• Understanding Template Structure: Analyzing the layers and groups within the provided PSD files.
• Exporting Texture Maps: Accurately exporting the necessary texture maps (body, sleeve and collar masks, individual masks for colorable areas) from the Photoshop files according to our specifications. Precision and attention to detail are key here!
• Creating Configuration Files: Setting up simple configuration files in JSON format. These files tell FM Kit Creator how the template works – defining the brand, logo positions as well as the different layers, which areas are colorable, etc.

Don't worry if you're not a JSON expert! The structure is straightforward, and we will provide detailed instructions, examples, and support to get you started. The most critical skill is proficiency in Photoshop.

What Skills Do You Need?

• Essential: Strong proficiency and experience with Adobe Photoshop. You need to be comfortable working with layers, masks, selections, and exporting assets accurately.
• Essential: High attention to detail and the ability to follow technical specifications precisely.
• Desirable: Basic understanding of JSON or a willingness to learn (it's simpler than it sounds, and we'll guide you).
• Desirable: An interest in football kits and design is helpful!
• Required: Reliability, good communication, and the ability to manage your own time.

What We Provide:

• Access to the Photoshop template source files.
• Clear documentation and guidelines on the conversion process and export requirements.
• Examples of the required JSON configuration files.
• Support and communication throughout the process.
• Payment for successfully converted templates.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute directly to a tool used by thousands of Football Manager players. Your work will enable countless users to create even more unique and realistic kits for their saves.
