Making A Car Show Poster

I went to Kinko's today and I am having them make a poster for car shows. I took in a picture of car car when it was stock and the text that I wanted over the picture. It should be done on Monday. What do you think? It will be 16 X 20 and I thought I would place it in the back under the open hood.

Good idea Rich!

Any reason why you decided to use a pic of the car when it was mostly stock? Just curious.

Plus Rich's car changes like 3 times a day so might as well use a 100% stock picture as whatever picture he uses will be out of date within minutes! hahah

looking at TRMN8TR's picture, makes me get really mad.....the g**** dealership lost my window sticker. It really bugs me. I'm like just tell ford to print me up another one and send it to my house. They cant do that for some reason!! Cant they just put the vin in and print out a sticker for me? This bugs me. I want to keep this car forever and want to have the original records of it. I made the dealer give me everything. I have the invoice that has the price/options etc...on it but still. I keep everything in a binder.

I've made a number of signs over the years for myself and others.

Here are some of them:

My personal signs I get for less expensively because I work for Kinko's. But for the ones I make for people, those gotta be full price becauze I want to keep my job. hehehe.

Gray - they already printing that one for you? If not I could put something together that's a little prettier.

Wow, funny I should come across this post. I just modified my poster layout today. I'm having it printed at http://www.mpix.com 16x20 on double sided foam core with a protective luster coating. It should be here by Thursday. What do y'all think?

Pegasus,

Wanna do one for my car and earn a few $$?

I really like the clean look and need someone with a good graphic art ability to lay one out for me. Just the build the file, I'll take care of the printing, mounting etc.
