I could do it for you in illustrator (which is what they want for vector), but do you know fonts you used? that would make it easier

Hey Terry,

I converted the picture to an .eps file which is a photoshop extension. That is what is used by any graphic art company. You cant really improve the resolution of the pic you provided. You can only go down in quality not up. I am no means an expert though. Maybe bmwbig will chime in. Where do you want me to email the file?

How about most uncreative remod?


If ya give me the font names you used, and possible where you grabbed that wheel from i can do it, or if ya cant i can redraw it, but prolly alot better photoshoppers on here than I.

I have already started this in PS 6.0. You can increase resolution and it gets blurry but at that higher res (300 dpi) it's easy to clean up. I'll work on it and watch the boards. I am by no means in a competition with anyone. So if someone gets one finished that you're happy with let us know ASAP. It would certainly be nice to have the font and clip art images that were used to do the original, but I guess if you had those we wouldn't be reading this, would we?

they said they need adope or vectar or something like that,
You did say "they" said you need "a dope". We got lots of 'em.

new

original

I did this this morning and still need to clean it up. There's some misc. garbage to erase from the layers that I have. This is not layered, if you don't already know. It has to be flattened to be used as an image file. I used a new wheel (I used a Torque Thrust, if you don't mind) because cleaning up the one that was there would be too time consuming. we can always use something else if you like. The drop shadow and the bevel gives the letters some depth. That can be removed as well. This is a somewhat quick shot at it. If you like it I have more to do. If you don't, no problem. I enjoy the challenge and sometimes actually do something good.

Don

FYI, with no fonts to work with I actually have to rebuild the ones that are in the picture. So, no-those are not fonts anymore. I drew them. I have'nt done the "racing..." part yet. And no- I didn't forget the black outline. This is a DRAFT.

I thought about that, but I wasn't sure where you were headed with this. I know you own one (duh) but you had a Cobra(?) and I didn't knowif you raced something else or the team raced other vehicles, but yep I can. 99-00 or 01?

Hey, Terry. I don't care what wheels you want. I just want to put the one's that YOU want in the picture. It's a freebee but It's still gotta be right. whatever you want dude. No problem. Even tho' I am partial to those torque Thrusts.
