It's competition time again and this month we would like you computer experts to do your baddest to an E30 using one of the many computer aided programs such as Photoshop etc.

The brief:
Anything goes let your imagination go wild, big pics, little pics, forums sigs whatever you want to do.

The rules:
It must be your own art work and not plagiarised from the net. There will be plenty of time to get your art work complete and voting will take place via a poll once everyone has submitted their designs..

The prize:
Your Art work printed on a E30zone.net mug and a e30zone sticker set depending on availability of some designs..

Example: Image



Now Lets see what you wizards can do.

Does it have to be heavily photoshopped or can it just be photography?
How many entries per person?
Do we just post them up in this thread?

No crayons or fingers for the technically challenged?

Thats discrimination against idiots.
Then again its not as if they know how to complain :wink:
I struggle using paint to draw a box but I'll make sure I vote this time :o:

This is why i asked about just entering good photos becuase not everybody has photoshop or the skills to use it properly.

Anyway this will be the best 'shopped photo you'll get from me. its been my laptop background for a wee while and i like it anyway.

what is the cut off date.
I'm sure it would pull some lazy arses into action and if need be I'll add a little something to the prize pot; a container of oem bolts? plastic clips? or would may even push to a few dash and spare bulbs. All from the fraggers that have passed my way. But I bet most of us have a few silly bits and bobs that could be a little better. Or is that just my ocd.

Going to spend a few hrs after lunch and have a bash as a certain Northerner has giving me some inspiration though his artistic skills are beyond what I can do.
Even with crayons I get the urge to use my fingers.

Well my other laptop has decided it doesn't want to work anymore, so I'm currently without photoshop. :(

So all I can offer is my mock up that I did in MS Paint. The first picture is the base image, and the second is my mock up off what I wanted to do properly in photoshop.
