2010 Camaro something a little different

[prime signs]

All you need is a PS3 and a Cricut and BAM, you are in the car graphic biz!!!!

Ouch!

i think there's an app coming. its called ivinyl. just screencap a game with your phone camera and sent to plotter!

That is just plain nasty. Looks like it would appeal to a 14 year old though.

I actually Like it. I wouldn't do it to my car, but I don't think it looks bad. It is intense and that is what some people want. The bright yellow car was already in your face, the graphics just took it up a notch. I like my sports car graphics a little more subtle. I bet you it would look awesome if the car were black and the graphics where done in matte black.

I think it looks great! Even more on the supplied sketch which has some more effects and colors. Gives it a japanese animation look. Fantastic job on your part for recreating it.

Now i wouldn't worry to much about her son going into the business. He will soon find out that games are not what you should use to design vehicle graphics. It's ok for street racer themes but that has it's limitations. He will have to learn proper designing software.

And if he does get into it ... Does learn the software .. well, all power to him!

It would look better on a riced out Civic with a gigantic spoiler, Camaro not so much. Nothing like having your kid design your new car he probably told her what color to buy too.

I guarantee they are living in a trailerhouse and making car payments on that "poor man's Vette", afterall that is what the Camero was designed as.

Actually she is self employed and fairly succesful at that. Not poor or in a trailer by any means. Corvette or Camaro they are very similar. When I sat in the Camaro it felt like a Vette. Neither one for me.

 

[klemgraphics]

I sure hope I can buy a vette someday so Mosh won't look down on me.

It ignores every single bodyline on the car. It's more like the stuff manufacturers put on prototypes in late testing so car magazine "spys" can't get decent pictures before the new model launches. You can't tell it's a Camaro anymore. At least it can be peeled off.

 

[Mosh]

When I sat in the Camaro it felt like a Vette.

Stop by sometime and I will let you sit in a REAL Vette.

As long as it's pre 1970 and a slit window, O.K.

As long as it's pre 1970 and a slit window, O.K.

So a 1963? That was the only year they had a split rear window.
I had a 1966 with 327, nassau blue. Rough riding cars compaired to my new one.

 

[prime signs]

Thats how they earned the name "Lumber Wagons" because they road so rough. Not knocking your vette. The new ones are just not my taste I guess. although they are nice.

 

[d fleming]

My 80 rides very nice.

Getting back to the thread, Has anyone ever had a experience like this when it comes to the job and who has the right for it's credit. The only thing that I have had come close to this, is a guy came to my shop looking for a job. He showed me his portfolio and several of the signs were ones that I painted. I pointed out one and told him I really liked it, especially since I was the one who painted it. He left never to be seen again.

 

[Mosh]

I would say EA sports, since IT IS THEIR DESIGN!!!!

Isn't the Vette just the poor man's 911 turbo?

I'm not fond of vettes either. Even less and less fond the more Mosher brags about his. But the one that shows up next door owned by a cop with 1300hp IS pretty nice.

I actually got started by editing "skins" on racing games at like 14. At 17 when I had my own car I used the same games for layout my graphics and then having a 3d model of what my car would look like. Laughable to some maybe but it was pretty damn effective. Like the kid I took the graphics to my decal guy and had him do recreate my design (It was actually my design though) My point is thats just how I discovered I wanted to be in the business and thats not such a bad thing.

In regards to seeing more competition. When I started with my first plotter at the same time was another teen here who did too. He pretty much got in the business looking for quick cash and got right back out when he realized there was a lot of hair pulling. Thats what usually happens to people who aren't as well prepared so dont get too worried.
