I made my roster I Microsoft Powerpoint. To start, I made a "grid" of hexagons in the formation you see above. The size of the hexes and dimensions are completely up to you. To make them easier to see, I made them black initially. I then image searched a background that looked like it could be a moving background in a video game. The blue squares draw inspiration from PSABR. I plan on changing the background every season.

To insert character pictures into the hexagons, I searched up PNG files. That is the most important part; it has to be .png with a transparent background (indicated on google as a series of white and grey squares. I then cropped it down so that the character's head was about the same dimensions as the hexagon, and then hit "save as." Then, I went to the hexagon, and adjusted its "shape fill" to "picture" and inserted the picture of the character's head.

This can be done with any shape; squares, circles, octagons. It's your call on how you want the roster to look. However, finding a png can be very hard for more minor characters. If it doesn't have a transparent background, it will not appear "see through" when inserted into the hexagon, even if you "set transparent colour."

Did this help?
