Mprata, thx for the tip!
Franz, thx! Opacity is your friend.

@ Evo, I agree with mprata on this one. I think you may have moved your texts to place it in the right position. this will sometimes mess up the letter I.
careful placing should eliminate this 'error'.
Love the pic!

"Mprata, thx for the tip!"

Final Entry



very simple, but thats why I like VW's ads so...here ya go.

i thought it was BUMP?

Some nice entries already!

Here's my first Entry

Feedback welcome.

i like everything but the toyota start button.. otherwise its good lookin [i can read the text just fine]



edit: i would like comments on mine also

 

[AMG.]

i went a different direction with mine, simply because the range stormer is a concept car

Well the LandRover seems to be very popular. I like yours as well.
Who cares whether the car "exists" or not, It's just a fun competition. 👍

[edit]
@suzq044, Ok here goes. The car and background fit well together. the Text at the bottom is very good. The 'lightning' text is distracting TOO much from what you're trying to sell to potential buyers. Suggest smaller font and move to top left or right.

i thought it was BUMP?

Good catch. I was half asleep when I did it so I didnt catch it. DUR

[spykerdriver]

very stylish spkyer ... looks so much like a real ad 👍

Awww...shucks, franz, thanks.

Final Entry



Feedback is always welcome

Looks good but maybe make it smaller and remove the "GT4/SCEI".
Also you spelled "official" and "Range" wrong.

 

[mprata]

^^^^^^
crap 👎
I'm glad you told me that 👍 that's why feedback exists

 

[mprata]

changed

 

[mprata]

Is it better now?

 

[spykerdriver]

Moved here.

 

[suzq044]

prata.. try the EDIT BUTTON--lol [saves space] the M5 ad isn't really bmw-style so to speak.. [i'm not really diggin the outlined text either ]

 

[Syntax error]

.... i like that, the only thing is the motor carrige is a little hard to make out.... possibly needs a little brightness added.... classic

 

[suzq044]

spyker, the only thing i see on that, which you could improve is do a 1px stroke on the text, so it stands out from the tree in the background.. kinda hard to read.

 

[spykerdriver]

Hows that? I updated it in my first post.

Thanks for the feedback guys (and gal).

[spykerdriver]

FINAL ENTRY

So thats what FPV stands for!
thnx mate!

 

[suzq044]

Evo, this is what i'm talking about as far as the 'start button' goes.. [looks just like toyotas styling]

they were pushing that for a while [no pun intended] with thier ads..

 

[AMG.]

That looks good AMG, great detail.
But what happened to the headlights?

I switched them on. What you don't like 'm ?
I'll see if I can improve, find it the most difficult thing to do though.
Help appreciated.

[edit] Amended my Jag pic in post #52

Oh! We didn't get any ads like that down here in Australia. In Oz, its really more of an FPV thing, the starter button. I'm not really a fan of them, it makes starting the car a two-handed job.

FINAL ENTRY

Very nice!! Looks a lot like their actual ads.
PS That car's got a starter button!!
