Title: What do you reckon? made this for my wall....
Post by: VC on March 06, 2009, 01:38:23 am
Took a little while to get it looking the way i wanted, I'm going to get it printed onto box canvas

I'm naming it "Daisy"

what do you think?

i will finish the other designs i played with, did some gti and ed30 ones then let you all have a peek. i will get prices on different box canvas sizes then if anybody wants one, or would like a custom version with their own car then i'm happy to oblige

i would require high res side profiles of your cars though
Title: Re: What do you reckon? made this for my wall....
Post by: NEWEY on March 06, 2009, 10:37:12 am
i would be interested in a custom one of the mk5 and mk2. i will get you some high res pics when there both clean. would a raw file be better straight from an slr or would jpeg/tiff be better?

because of the way the printer wants them i have to send on JPG for him to edit before going onto the canvas, so a big hairy high res .jpg would be fine. when the time comes if your still keen we'll waffle about the details  :happy2:

Could be a cool gift for my dad... I will get it printed here.... How much u want just to do the design for me?

Post by: VC on March 06, 2009, 11:53:09 am
happy to do it  :happy2:

no idea on charging though? never done it before.

any money made though i will split and give half to the forum and half to the Great Ormond Street Hospital fund (long story)

any ideas on what you would want, or would you just want me to play around until you're happy?

ideal

basically flat dead on shots, front/side/rear/alloys if your able to get them on a white background that would save time

The daisy is easily the best IMHO  :smiley: i think it would look a bit better if the VW badge was a little bit smaller  :smiley:

Looking good!

To get an idea of price, type "photo canvas print" into eBay and you should get a guide.

I've got a hi-res image of a MK2 dismantled and arranged (I think it was a VW ad), my girlfriend of all people thinks it should be on a canvas, so I'm getting one made!
Title: Re: What do you reckon? made this for my wall....
Post by: VC on March 06, 2009, 09:05:39 pm
ebay throws up some good ones, but the guy i use uses top grade canvas and ink and specially engineered frames that are heavier than alot of them out there. very high quality stuff

i think i will do some options though as canvas isn't cheap...lush...but not cheap

so maybe 1. print only 2. framed print 3. canvas

ive got a fair few designs. i specialise in digital media so will nab some spare webspace and do some sort of shop front with max discount to this forum only, some donations to g.o.s.h. some to the forum  :happy2:, and a tiny amount for beer in return for the artwork for me :chicken:

should mean that people can choose the art, using their own car, their preferred design, on the media of their choice

I love that first one best. It reminds me of one of Apple's campaigns for the first iMac in 1998.

I think you've got the size balance right and don't need to change the size of the VW logo.
