Any Photoshop Experts Up For A Challenge ?

gb155

My workplace have agreed to let me put posters up advertising my Blackpool ride to get sponsorship, The only problem being Im as creative as a brick.

So far the best I have is this




While its ok it doesnt have a Xfactor (sorry) and I also think it should include my Before picture

This one



So can one of you VERY nice peeps do me a poster that was be eye catching, include the text on the one above and my before picture?

The only design breif I have is that it can be printed on A4 Paper, The rest is totally 100% upto you guys and glas

Thanks in advance

In fact, this took me less than 5 minutes on Flickr, just to show what can be done with a bit of time.

It's not a photoshop expert you want, it's a designer/art editor

I'm neither, but I know a few

I've pm'd you

Beta version to see what you thought of the text...

It's not too clear, but above the date it says,"Help him pile them back on" (play on the word pounds: lbs / £s).
Could use higher resolution originals (you've got a Herman Munster head and a flat tyre).

Will have more time to have a think and work on it tomorrow and over the weekend.

When do you need the posters for, Gaz?

You were right though I was a little too quick to run off, Mind you thats not been said about me for a very long time lol

I love what you have done but had an idea, Instead of just one before picture stretched out, could we mabe add 2 before pictures and 2 after pictures ? A little bit like a fild strip, If that makes sence?

Maybe we could make use of this pic too?

spasypaddy

you provide the pics, i'll add them!

The other problem is the shape of the photos, they dont quite fit in... but give me some other photos to play with preferably in landscape and it would be better

gb155

ok thanks man

I was thinking starting with this



Then next this one:



Then



and finally




Your work is appreciated, Im gonna put my kids to bed and I will be back onine later on but dont worry when you get the time, Its just appreciated that you will make the effort

Thanks again

Gaz

spasypaddy

im doing it now, ive already changed the wording on the left to Before and on the right to After.

Will add these new pics, then upload.

gb155

Mate thats quality, Thank You

gb155

Could we (you lol) change the manchester and blackppol pics to these ?

Not sure the resolution is good enough though

spasypaddy

you sure thats alright?

i'm happy to make any changes or anything.

PM me your email and i'll email you the real thing rather than having to right click save, it will be slightly better quality.

But if you want anything else done let me know, im happy to help.

Seems we posted at the same time mate

spasypaddy

Mate, Thanks so much for all your effort, I think the Manchester pic works well but the Tower one is a little too stretched, Will hunt around today for a better one if you dont mind and post it when im home from work tonight, Thanks again

EDIT: Just before I left I had a thought, Can we change the color of my just giving page to red to make it stand out a little more too ?

Gaz

spasypaddy

yeah, im just leaving for work now. will sort the wording and the new photo tonight. I thought the original photo i used was a better fit personally.

Yeah I agree that its a better fit and to be honest quality, Its just with the tower so far off to the left I thought it might be an idea to change it, that said, you were right, and the original tower one is much better, sorry lol
