Pics.... there are plenty on this site...
its just a matter of looking throu all the threads.

and asking the owner of the pic if you may use it.

some of us have them on our avators as well.

Big Dave and Feint take some great pics....

yeah not bad, but too many simply called that around at present...want something more original.....but the layout is good, hopefully I can do something very similar.

But dont ya love it when you can do a topic that you really enjoy...been lucky so far, we also had to do one on....would ya believe...the Brass monkey!!
Most of the class had no idea about it...so I had to fill the gaps a little

I even managed to convince all the others in the class to use some of my pics rather than the bleh ones there

Famous at last...

Uncaged is a BRILLIANT title...go WRT (I think 'twas he who postulated first...).

And I can't think of anything 'dodge' about the word either. It's not used by anyone I know...for euphemistic reasons.

So go to it. Hey...one thing that might help is if you put 'amusing' captions in the photos. It's personal preference, but sometimes the wit just spills out of the page, as quick as my coffee splurts out of my nose if I'm caught unawares. Check Loaded and FHM (particularly british copies) for the dry sense I mean!

Best of luck!

That's cool - the most important thing is what you can do with it - how the graphical elements and eye candy have continuity with the title.

You can use bars and hacksaws and locks etc for decoration with 'uncaged' - so it works for the same reasons I like motorcyclist. (Easy to decorate with bits of bike)
Also lets you go a bit more gen X and reverses, gothica etc.

It's not really the name - it's what you can hang off it easiest - that is most important for a project. You want the easiest example to demonstrate your ability to apply creativity, but also continuity, balance and theme.

Different if it's a payin' gig.

But I'm kinda stuck for a name.....yeah I know a few of the usual ones, but I'd really like something that only us motorbikers would get you know?

Any and all ideas would be considered, and just remember it is only for my class, so wont go any further than that and maybe if it is REALLY good (thats is.... I get a good pass in it) I'll print you out one and send it to ya!

I'll prob be looking for stories to go in it too, I'll let you all know.
Of course Dangerous has stepped in and given me the usual shit

, which I might just scare him with and USE!!

Ta muchly

How about--- "One wheel Drive" or "Chain Driven" or "Sprocket Rockets" if your going to concentrate on power bikes !!

**Coyote** · 1st August 2005, 18:28

Don't forget to add "Xtreme" to whatever title you choose

**Waylander** · 1st August 2005, 18:29

) to edit them all up. get BJ to do some designs,

and the profits go to KB until thats paid off (like per month) and then anything else gets split up to the writers.... and me
