Welcome to Photomode Magazine Cover Competition Week 15
This competition will be testing cover design, photoshop abilities and photomode abilities of residents of the planet.

Rules
Only Imageshack thumbnails will be considered for entry.
Use your own pictures.
Maximum 2 entries per person, per week.
Mark FINAL ENTRY in red on your final entry.
Stick with the theme.
Cite all sources you get your magazine logos from (not on the magazine, but in the post)
The picking will go like the Photomode Competition goes by a poll
Failure to abide by the rules results in DQ.

Theme
This weeks theme, as picked by Mr. Toad, will be magazine/promotional book for a racing team

Further explanation:
Take any car or cars (basic paint) on any track and add on identifing logos, marks, murals, graphics, type, numbers, etc. to make your own racing team.

The team could be anything of your choice.
You could make a team based on your GTPlanet member name (ie. Toad Racing), your favourite band, comic, TV show, whatever.
You may also develop a new decal/paint scheme for Jaguar, Dodge, Nissan, whatever. You can add sponsor logos (Shell, GT4, etc). The more creative the better.

Needless to say, your cover should show the vehicle (and therefore team) in the best way to promote your team to the public, your sponsors and potential sponsors. Any copy you add is up to you. Could have no, minimal or heavy type.

Deadline
Saturday July 23rd.
 
Hey there everyone,

Did I make this too difficult or not appealing? It's been up for a day and no posts.
Seeing I'm new to this, I'm really unsure as to what is palatable to the group.

So let me know. If you want to make it different, I'm up for that (if that's allowed).

In retrospect I probably shouldn't have come back from a party and try to think of a good idea at 1:30 in the morning.
 
I'm going to try it. I'll use my username, so it's going to be on a dirt track. Now i have to pick a car to use.

This is what I was hoping, that member names would be great ammo for team names.
Dustdriver (or dustdrivers) would be a great name for a Rally Team.
Add some type and graphics, a few sponsor logos, a big No. 1 and there ya go. 👍

As always, picking the best car (and shot) is the tough part...

Party on Dustdriver! Let's see your team!

Cheers!
Mr. Toad

Mr. Toad could post some logos and number combinations for
people to use (if you'd like).
 
I am not going to use my member name
but I am definitely making something ... interesting
hope more people will participate this week
 
Cool FranZ!
I'm hoping for more entries too.

Here ya go dustdriver (and everyone else).... some logos and number combos.
If you'd like me to post in another format just let me know (if compatible with Imageshack).


Hopefully everyone knows how to use the magic wand :)

I could do color combos, but I was leaving that up to you...
I'll try to post some others later. I'll take special requests (if possible).
 
i tried something quick, nothing special.
It's just for the color of the car.



if enyone has any ideas or something, please post

Grab one of those Numbers I posted, change the black circle (or oval) to red or some other color, add the GT4 logo, run DUSTDRIVERS (in an italic font) down the side of your car.
For reference, take a look at some of the GT4 Cars, or any of the branded cars, The Minolta comes to mind. We're kinda decalling here.

The shot is good, just add some more 'stuff'! :D

on a side note, I don't really want to tell you what to do, I'd rather just post some stuff to use, and you go from there!

I guess this is also where the Photoshop 'transform' tool comes in handy
 
Okay, here are some more logos to grab.


Looks like this compo is sucking wind....

and what's up with Imageshack? Seems to be quite 'buggy' lately, (hang-ups, slow, no connection, etc.).
 
I will work on my entry tonight

speed channel ... hahaha
hope this site helpful to you guys
http://www.brandsoftheworld.com

actually I think this is more like a photoshop competition than a mag/book cover
not everyone capable going so
I have no idea what easy$$ and vicious up to
just hope they have time doing so

I have an idea that we provide a template (let's say a side shot of a Ruf R-GT)
and asking people to put custom graphic on it ...
and make their own team of Carrera Cup or something
that would be interesting ... and I think non-GT4 photoshoppers would love that too

anyway ... are you going to rip something up, Toad?

Yes Franz, I'll put an idea together. And tonight I'll throw in a tempate (or two).
I may have blown it with this idea.
Once again, 1:30 in the morning is probably not the best time for coming up with ideas.

After seeing all the great destruction shots I did not think that this was
out of the realm of Photoshop creativeness for the members.
I also think I may be asking for too much of a time commitment (as this kind of stuff does take time).
That may have been the killer...

And I sure would like to see Easy and Vicous in here.
They like to step up to the plate (and I always like to see what they do...) :D

And thanks for the link! It's appreciated.
 
Here's the newer version:



maybe there will folow another pic, but then a normal car on a racetrack. it's dificult to ad sponsors on the car in this pic

Yeah, that's cool. In the spirit of what I was thinking.
Keep playing with that tranform tool! 👍

As for Vicious... looking forward to it!
 
uhm, id din't used it.
I just made 2 layers. 1 in red and 1 in green. I just deleted the text in the green layer, so that you can see the red underneath

What I meant to say (but didn't phrase it right) was
"Use The Force Young Skywalker"...
The transform tool is the best tool to do whatever you want with graphics.
You can scale and distort to whatever plane and/or size.
The transform tool combined with a few others and you can do whatever you want.... :)

The Green Hell is NOT a Track its a Car! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :sly: :sly: :dopey:

You could call your racing team the Green Hell racers.
 
Final Entry


Bling Bling Style by Playboy
Maybe a bit dark but I like that better
Enjoy ~
 
Well, seven hours later, here is what I have to show for it!

Standard version and the ULTRA HIGH res version!

FINAL



FYI: Richard Lyons is a driver for Xanavi ... so I stole him away to drive for me!

Enjoy!

PS: Here is the original car image.

 
how can anyone beat that
i'm working on another one, but it will not by far be as good as the one vp and franz have made

vp, isn't that the rockstar logo on top of your front bumper?
 
Okay, I'm really starting to like this now... Bravo! Cheers! and Encore!

FranZ & Vicious, Beautiful jobs both!
Blown away (once again) at the level of detail in Vicous's pieces.
The high res is really quite amazing.

Franz, good career move. Now if only Playboy had a PS2 game with Photomode...

Joseph2435, Keep going!

I wasn't able to get anything done last night (for my entry),
but I do promise that will happen tonight (Toad Racing lives!).

Party on everyone!
 
This year Belgium exists 175 years and today is the national holiday of belgium, so here's the offical belgium racecar for the clio cup :)

 
much better than the RSC in terms of colour choice
I like the background as well
looks like everybody doing a side shot

Thank you Sir! Like I say, "It's all in the details ..."
 
Vicious ... did you rebrush the whole car including windows?
because in such big resolution
you must clean up alot = almost repaint the whole thing
btw ... I really like that custom wheels
kinda reminds me that tutorial from car design news website


thanks cosmic
