Theme: Car Dealership ad. Could be anything - exotics, everyday cars, classics...
 
what should the dealership ad look like?
just adding dealership info?
or I have to list all the special deals they have now?
but what should we do with the exotics?
They're usually very stylish, more like a car ad than a dealership ad
can someone clarify this a bit? thanks
 
Ok, here is my humble entry using MS Paint and Microsoft Photo Editor. Paint for erasing and text. MPE for blurring and rotating so I could get the text angle I wanted. Logo taken from Saleen's website.

I would think that you'd be able to get an idea from the Dupont Registry, some pretty good exotic dealership ads in there
 
Final Entry

Essentially pretend you're a car dealer. Depending on what cars you deal with (basically what's in your garage in GT4) you need to create an ad that makes people want to visit your dealership. Got a bunch of used cars, then make a used car lot newspaper ad. Have a lot of Chevrolets, then make a Chevy dealership ad, perhaps highlighting incentives on Corvettes, or the OnStar promotion. Get a newspaper and see what local car dealership ads are like. Or browse the Robb Report or DuPont Registry and look for ads for dealerships specializing in exotics or luxury cars. Heck it could even be a wild Japanese ad with lots of Japanese micro-cars and "funny" english text. More often than not, the best, most realistic ad entries, are emulations of actual ads, so just do some research. AutoTrader should have some local car dealer ads, or visit websites from local or out-of-town car dealers and see how they promote themselves.

ENTRY(S)



The only non-GT4 car in the Dodge/Chrysler ad is the Magnum. All other cars are from the game. The RAM SRT/10 was edited in PS to add the hood scoop.
 
Easy$$> Is my NSX still a valid entry?
otherwise I will make another one similar to what you guys have done
 
Franz: Yours is good. It kinda looks like a Billboard ad, which is an ad nevertheless. Although the contact info would be useless. I wouldnt redo it. You get 3 entries so come up with some more. 👍
 
PS All the prices in mine are what I thought would be reasonable prices in Australia. So it may seem a little expensive if you are from America!
 
Count me in on this one!
Now... think, think, think... hmmm... what to do??....

I'll get back to you on that...
 
Okee Dokee...
