Smile Photoshop request

Could one of the keyboards wizards do a favour for me?

Some paintwork is being touched up and I would like to see how the car would look with black rear bumper extensions and a black P1 style splitter:



The above are just some ideas to make the car stand out for the 2009 hillclimb season.

I am having some graphics (with our company details made up) in a similar style to the Roger Clark Gobstopper:




The black/white/red scheme might be different, without looking:
1. Cheap.
2. Naff.
3. Downmarket.

Company sponsorship will certainly help with the entry fees.

Ahh thought so - they are a bit on the tiny* side!

The first picture is from photobucket - any ideas how to make it bigger or canI email it to someone?

[SIZE="1"]*Wife says something similar, but we won't go down that road..........................[/SIZE]

Hey,

The 2 images above have been uploaded into Photobucket that small size. You need to upload the original full rez images

Example :

This image below taken from your PBucket is a full rez image that was uploaded as an original -




I would suggest uploading them again

What i meant was - the smaller images above were loaded into photobucket small, unlike the others that were uploaded as a full size image - if that makes sense.?

Do you have your logo handy, maybe I can incorporate that into the below, if this is what you were looking for in the 1st place? Not the best pic to work with btw, esp for doin the splitter,

Thumbs up Thank You

Thanks Guys.

I have been putting off the graphics thing for nearly three years of ownership, but after looking at the Gobstopper,
I thought: "you know, that looks good and it is a bit different (but in a good way)".

Graphics are being designed tomorrow and I should have proofs asap.

Paint, graphics with new bits fitted on the 9th of October.

Flat and polish, new coilovers at the end of November - all "slowly" coming together, and overall I am delighted with my "project".

Pictures (of course) to follow..............................

Lol, nice eh?

My idea was to get the P1 splitter in carbon, then add one of these aswell..... Carbon fibre front splitter to suit all vehicles - Carbon Mods

Unfortunately my fiancee spotted the prices, so the idea won't become a reality

Question

First draft of the artwork and it looks pretty much what I wanted

looks good but very similar to the RCM graphics and all the other cars that have used the same colours in the same way. If you aren't limited to bland and red by your company logo could you use another scheme?

That is a good point.

I (personally) think the Gobstopper's colour scheme is one of the "better" ones I have seen.

The black/red theme suits the white car with anthracite alloys rather well.

I thought about other colours, but this opened too many "what if we choose that colour, or maybe this one etc etc etc".

The company's logo theme is black logo on white - sort of keeps it in the family.

The problem with grpahics, is that there are so many options and opinions and it can be very challenging to get the "balance" just right.

Cost is also an issue, but not so important as the company will stump up the ££££s.

Blue might also look very good. (the same shade blue as the 996 GT3 RS)

I'd go for another colour scheme and style to be honest, I know the RCM looks the part and everyone knows the car, but at the end of the day i'd go with what you want as its your car. what about breaking the lines and having the text in the same colour as the lines then its on the same lines as the RCM car?

Just a small design thingy! I'd hav the text running through the red and black justified to on side so the web address isn't breaking between the doors.

Just 0.02p

Well spotted - just goes to show the eye sees what the brain wants it to see.

Right justification + blue has been requested.

Once Scoobynet approves I shall place the order
