A buddy of mine took some of my digital photos of the "Boss" and presented me with a framed version (18" x 24") of this show poster. I was SO touched. What do you think?

 

that's pretty coo.

I wish I had friends that sweet.... and a car that sweet, for that matter.

 

if anyone else wants something like that i'd like to give it a shot. I'm trying to get as much experience with photoshop as possible you know how much graphic artists are pullin these days !

 

Your friend did a great job. Looks very professional!

Does your friend realize what a business op he's got here?

 

Wow....that looks awesome!! There is no doubt he sell those!

 

Hey john u live like 20 mins from me, you wanna see if your buddy will make me one? ill pay him, lol

 

Looks good but please have him remove the lense flares.

 

Well its all been said above. You do have a super friend.

 

If you're serious I can ask.

This started out with me taking Microsoft Word and creating an info sheet in 8 x 10 format. My wife, educated formally as an artist, was appalled at my attempt ("You want them to LIKE your car, not run away screaming". Subtle, hon...), and used Photoshop to quickly make two separate 8x 10 show posters that looked pretty darn good on our home ink jet printer. I've been putting those under the hood in the back corners at shows.

She showed her work to one of our friends, a photograher/graphic artist, and he emailed me looking for every digital photo I'd ever taken of the car. I happily obliged, not knowing what was up, and a week later my wife said to prepare to be floored. Craig presented me with his artwork. I was truly touched. He said he'd never done anything like that and was challenged by something different from the same old daily grind. And I have a standing offer to update the poster at any time as my car changes. Needless to say, Craig and his wife got dinner on us!

The ones I've seen online seem a tad expensive ($150 and up)--my guess it would be WELL under that but I really have to ask.

Where do you reside? I'm a minute or two from the intersection of 26/27...

The top left? Hmmm, I can see where it would more symmetrical without it, but I kind of like it. To each his own, I guess! He did provide me with the native Photoshop file, so I suppose I could try removing it and seeing how it looks.

John

 

Looks awesome, I should have one like that done for mine.

 

hey John, what hood pins do you have?

 

Cheap ones picked up from a local speed shop. I've tried ordering the Ford Racing pin set from two different online vendors, and both ended up backordering them and I've heard nothing from either in over a month. I'll probably end up getting them through a local Ford dealer. I keep forgetting to stop on my way home every day though...

Whatever you pick up, it's a pretty easy install.

John

 

That looks nice! (As does your car)
On a side note, iff anyone would be interested in one of these for a great price feel free to PM or email me. I've been doing graphic arts projects like this for years and I can certainly put one together for you. As long as you have digital pictures of your car we can make it work.

Looks good! What a friend.

 

Now that is a great friend. I just did one up for our Bullitt and I think it turned out great, but I had to pay 63.00 to get it printed and bonded on foam board at Kinko's and it isn't glossy at all.

 

Hey, can you post it as a jpg so we all can see it?
