DP 08 GXP Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 i am having a fellow grand prix owner through a poster together for me....i have 2 versions so far and i think i know which one i like better but just wanted an outsiders view point. #1 i had him move the hp and torque to where it said the car's color on the first one #2 which one do you like?

Team Adam's Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Second one. Don't like the floating text in the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP 08 GXP Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 that was the one i was leaning towards as well....would you have anything changed or done differently before i give him the go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I find them both too busy and distracting. I was thinking Where's Waldo comparing the two until I read your description of what changed. Since all the pictures are dark, there's very little contrast between them, so it all blends together. Then the picture of the car is photoshopped on top of them with that ghost blue shadow for contrast. I'm not a graphic artist so I don't know the fix; that's just my observation of the aesthetics. What's your goal? The facts or the pictures? What's the primary focus? Highlight that. What's the secondary focus/focii? Make them secondary. Maybe less than 4 types of font. Nothing's playing 2nd fiddle right now, so I don't know what to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOx Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 How would it look with that awesome, angled picture of your car on the grass you posted the other day as the main focus. Don't crop out the background, but perhaps frame it or something. Then put all the detail pics (instruments, brakes, etc) in individual boxes in a strip along one side (probably top, where they are now)....nice and crisp. Then put all the text including mods somehow on the bottom with very little 'interference' behind them. Definitely keep the mods list. That's what sets your car apart. Edit: This is the picture I'm talking about. Didn't you WIN the voting because of this pic? (The background shows off the car's beauty.) If so, then use it! As they say, "Dance with the one that brung ya." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP 08 GXP Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 and another lol...this is with the blue removed from the background i am waiting for him to do it with the angled pic above to see how that turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOx Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 and another lol...this is with the blue removed from the background i am waiting for him to do it with the angled pic above to see how that turns out That looking much better to me. All the blue background was not allowing that pretty metallic blue to pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver88 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm a little lost but I think #3, I like the fonts better.. (I'd remove the HP and Tq #s)or like someone suggested, that angled HDR shot by the water might be a good base.. that's a cool picture. it's going to be pretty cool no matter which you use..

DP 08 GXP Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 final drafts are in...ended up with a different angle which i think makes the car the focal point on the first one the 1 of 143 will not be in there so which one should i pull the trigger on?

diver88 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 the last one.. yep that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I did something like this awhile back and the best advice was to get a better picture without all of the reflections in it. I would personal drop the blue drop shadow around the car, it's a little distracting from what you are trying to focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
