Photoshop Rally Livery (Free Zone advertising!!)

[TommyC]

As i put the other day......

I have a Black 318iS with multispoke wheels (similar to Hartges/MIMs) and will be using it as transport for one of my pass-times.... Rally Marshalling!!

I wanted a cheap, fairly quick, RWD car for a bit of fun on the rally stages (you have to drive along them before the competition cars to get to where you're marshalling).

I bought it for Ԛ£320, so it's a bit tatty but i'm in the process of tidying it up.

I have been thinking of some sort of decals/livery to make it look a bit more rally-esque.

I then got thinking about using it as a kind of 'rolling advert' for the Zone at the same time.

Basically i'm fishing for ideas and input for what designs people would like to see on a Zone 'sponsored' car, in keeping with Rally style livery?? (and i don't have photoshop!!)

(If i do follow this through i will pay for it myself, i'm not looking for any money from the Zone).

Any lunchtime doodlers, photoshop artists out there who fancy giving me a few ideas?????

Right, i've got permission from eko to use one of his pics cos i'm having great difficulty sorting my own out!!!

[ad318i]

First bit of advice is to dump Photoshop, this app is for pro grapchic designers, its a powerful program but you need to know how to use it! Get Jasc Paint Shop Pro. It's just as powerful but easier to use. Here's something i knocked up for my ebay listing:

I'll see what I can do with this. Im a graphic designer and done livery before... albeit for a horsebox!

steve that looks the business m8!! here tommy m8 if u want a decent graphics guy send me a pm i will give u his email address!! hes done loads of race cars & hes always interested in new challenges if u catch him at the right time then ur sorted!! cheers m8 ian.

[TommyC]

That looks damn cool!!! I like it!!!

But i was thinking more along the lines of 'E30 Zone' down the sides to help advertise the site. Like i said in the first post, a Zone 'Sponsored' car.

On the whole that's the kind of layout i was thinking of (but obviously mines not an M3!!).

I have a set of blue sparco mudflaps to go on, and a few corbeau seats stickers to start things off.

I'm looking at getting an OMP Steering wheel and maybe a strut brace too, so i'll try and blag some stickers at the same time......

I might see if i can get some Khumo tyres stickers too, cos they sponsor the British Rally Championship.......

I might do that for the bigger ones. They have a big computer controlled vinyl cutting machine at work in the paint &trim section. I was gonna see if i could get some of the smaller ones done there.

I may be in touch in future though!!!

Isn't this just a different car 'shopped onto the background and then the hartge wheels put on, if so you are a clever man. Took a while for me to spot with all the graphics decieving the eye.

[ffelan]

can my local grphx place do the m3 kits as well?


nice work... gives me food for thought on what to do with the track car....

[nightfever]

Well i gave it a go. Turns out I don't have the patience or the creativity!

Are custom decals expensive?

I'm liking that too!! What about having the 30 in a white box like the race numbers are??

(only prob there would be the other side i suppose. It wouldn't be in the right place on the car then.....)

Subtle livery for all?
