Is anyone good with Photoshop?

[Gubb]

I'm looking into making some large decals for the sides of my tank.

I don't have the Photoshop skills to make what i'm after, and i'm afraid MS Paint just won't quite cut it, so I thought i'd put the challenge up. I'm happy to re-imburse for time taken, in the way of Beers/Bourbons per hours as I just don't have the skills.

It's for my Streety, so a Modern take on the Union Jack is the general idea i'm playing around with. Perhaps something like a Grafitti style, or even a "Bleeding out"-type Union Jack. Something that is different, and not easily replicated. Or something torn, and tattered, such as the one displayed in The Trooper.

do an image search... plenty already done out there:2thumbsup

[McJim]

I would have a go but I disapprove of the subject matter on an ancestral level so sorry, no.

Been doing that for a fair chunk of the night. Can't seem to find anything suitable, unless you can suggest some keywords I haven't thought of.

[hospitalfood]

PM me about it.

I really like the "broken" effect at the front. Something like that would suit well.

Come on Nick, go all out and do what I did with my Triumph......:Punk:

[McJim]

Here's a simple bit of work done with a lens flare and a speckle.....dead easy.

A smoking or burned or ripped Union jack on the tank would look the biz!

[Burtha]

I can see what you mean.

Googled it out of interest and the number of pages on the image tab...

Well.... let's just say I didn't go very far and that was skipping ahead and only clicking every 6 -8 pages or so....

[Gubb]

Don't laugh, but yes, this is the extent of my computer graphical skills.

This is one of the ideas I was toying around with, only you know. Not shit.

[Burtha]

I really like the bits where it says the Scots were fighting on both sides ...

Wikipedia:
The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair) (16 April 1746) was the final clash between the French-supported Jacobites and the Hanoverian British Government in the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Culloden dealt the Jacobite cause to restore the House of Stuart to the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain a decisive defeat.

The Jacobites, the majority of them Highland Scots, supported the claim of James Francis Edward Stuart (the "Old Pretender") to the throne. The government army, under the Duke of Cumberland, younger son of the Hanoverian sovereign, King George II, supported his father's cause. It too included Highland Scots, as well as Scottish Lowlanders and English troops.

The aftermath of the battle was brutal and earned the victorious general the nickname "Butcher" Cumberland. Charles Edward Stuart eventually left Britain and went to Rome, never to attempt to take the throne again. Civil penalties were severe with new laws that attacked the Highlanders' clan system. Highland dress was now to be restricted to use by the British Army.

We can do that at our work and also apply it to your bike. email: print@red-i.co.nz
They are sponsoring my racing so even an inquiry would make me look good:niceone:
and mention you found them through here.

[RentaTriumph]

5 minutes in Photoshop. Might do one for my own bike and spend a bit more time getting exactly what I want.

[Gubb]

Bertha's on the right track. Like the torn look. Not sure about the black bits though. A bit more tearing perhaps?

[Blatman]

Hey, if it's for a more recent Triumph this might be more suitable ;)

[sosman]

20mins playing around with photoshop

[Burtha]

without black flames and more cuts and abrasions ...
any effects, just name em.
oh, and I can alter the final image to scale to the dimensions you sent me too when ye happy with final product.

[RentaTriumph]

15 minutes in Photoshop

[retro asian]

I'd think Illustrator would produce much better print results than Photoshop.
And you'd want something top quality for your bike.

I've just started learning to use Illustrator myself, but there must be some guys on here that got the skills...

I get to travel many parts of that history lesson every week.

Good old Dunners!!
Cumberland St
Stuart St
George St
Hanover St

These ones are all main streets and yet Culloden St is only a wee, pokey side street. Yellowpages Map Link (http://maps.yellowpages.co.nz/mapypnz/DUNEDIN%20CITY/KAIKORAI/CULLODEN%20STREET/)

[sosman]

[Gubb]

& another attempt

If the flames went the height of the flag, then that would be bang on!

[sosman]

Well made a few to choose from....will this do?:lol:

Chuck me yr email

[retro asian]

Thought I'd have a go...

Can email you the high quality file (with CMYK colours for the printer) if you want.

[retro asian]

Needs a bit more editing still, but does the size of flames/flag look ok?

[hutchy52]

Anything like this?

[Harvd]

Hutchy52 wins it 4 me get either of those they freakin rad!

[Gubb]

Yeah, I really like that too.

I've had a word to the sign guys though, and it's gotta be in solid colours, unfortunately, no shading or "speckled" effects, so i'm just gonna slightly modify some of the designs and see what I end up with.

[McJim]

Chuck me yr email

Ooooh over a bit...down a bit.....down a bit more.....there we go - who said there's no pink in the Union Jack?:rofl:

That would depend on what process they use to make it, if it's done on traditional cut vinyl then yes, but you could get it printed on an inkjet printer on either clear or white vinyl.
