For this template it took me a total of 20 layers to get the design I was going for.
For the fog in the bottom, I used a template called Stadium-Glow, and duplicated a single fog layer, duplicated it again, then just messed with the scale until I got a seamless look when I placed the 2 duplicated layers next to each-other. For the lights coming from both of the top corners, I used the same template, and same strategy I used for the fog, that being I duplicated, messed with its scale, mirrored it, and ended with the results you see above. For the Harker Heights logo I took it from the internet, placed a mask over it to give it the appearance of it being in the foreground, and made it darker to make it appeal more to the whole templates vibe. As for the background, I took some more smoke from the Stadium-Glow, lowered the opacity almost to nothing, and placed it over a black back-ground. Finally for the text, I didn't take the actual text from anywhere, but took inspiration from the text from the template Game-Day-Main-template, but completely changed the color, font, and sizing of it. As for the text at the bottom, I simply just played with fonts until I settled on one I liked.
Now for this template, It has 18 layers, and I took the grass base from stadium-glow, and just placed it behind some smoke I took I also took from stadium-glow, that I distorted, made very low in opacity, and set up around what was originally a png of a soccer-ball, but after messing around with the ball, I changed it to a logo I was originally going to put in a different template. As for the main object of focus, the goal post, I simply took the image off of the internet, did what I usually do, that being turning down the opacity and messing with masks, I then only put half of the goal post in the frame, with the logo set in the middle, with the smoke surrounding the bottom-right of it. For the text, I took the text from another template called SignaturePlayer, that I used on the player's name. As for the School name at the bottom of the template, I simply played with fonts until I settled on one, much like the 2020-2021 text I used on the previous template. Finally for the heavenly like light beams on each of the top corners, I took the two light beams from a template called All Star 1 Main, where I took them as they were with next to no changes.
For the final template, It uses the most layers, it taking 29 layers. As for the goal I used the same goal post from my previous template, took the floor from the template Signature-Player. For the text I took heavy inspiration from my 1st template, which basically followed the same creation process used in that one. As for the Player's name beneath the "KNIGHTS" text, the color and font was taken from a template called Stadium_lights. For the smoke surrounding the beacon of light in the middle, I put a gradient mask that added the bit of red to the top of the smoke, I also used the classic strategy of using the fog from Stadium-Glow, and followed the same process used for the other templates. For the lights on the upper left and right sides I took them from the template stadium_lights, put them in the further back layers, behind the smoke and goal post layer. For the lens flare looking light source behind "TEMP NAME" I took the flare from stadium_lights once again, but changed it's color to match the color scheme I was going for. Much like everything else in this template, the middle smoke that I purposely left at a high opacity, and left alone for the most part on masks, was once again taken from stadium_lights. To get the darker look to the whole template, I used a layer from stadium_glow, that essentially simply added a giant mask that darkens all the layers behind them.
