Testing a Graphic proposition.

SON240sx Automotive
1

Ok so this idea poped into my head a while back and i thought i might aswell see what you guys thought of it.

Pretty much, i’ve noticed alot of people here on SON, either have pics of their car, or signatures for the forum with their car in it. Now not all of them are anywhere close to being to appealing, some are stretched, some are disttorted…etc. This is not ment to bash on the ones that have tried though.

This is my proposition,
I im in the graphic design field, and enjoy taking on tasks related to it everday. I also have taken up photography as a hobbie, nothing big, just something to pass my time. There are alot of photographers poping up here and there, which is great. What im offering is pretty much, if you need something designed…i’ll do it!!

That includes, full photoshoot touchups and or/modifications, forum signatures and avatars, any picture you’d like of your car to be more…appealing in a graphicl sense, and pretty much anything else you’d want designed.

Great thing is, this would all be free. Why? Well, its always nice to brush up on, or try some new designs, and what better way than to do it with requests.

So, all in all, this is really to see what you guys think. If i get a good enough response i’ll set up a request sheet or post? As to what you’d like.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments give me a shout.

So tell me what you guys think.

*This is open to ALL not just photographers. So anyone can request something!!

Thanks.
Mike

do you have a portfolio of your work

3

I’m also interested in talking with you. I work at major magazine and own a marketing agency so the opportunity for you is good.

4

If you dont suck i am also interested… we are looking into producing a magazine from scratch and will need some help.

5

Yea i figured you guys would want a portfolio, im actually in the process of making it as week speak, i need it for my college application this year.

I’ll post of some stuff i’ve been working on, all graphic related.
And the whole magazine thing is something i’ve been wanting to do for a long time now so that would definatly help out my portfolio.

You’ll see the images in a bit, just gotta get them all together

6

Ok so heres what i’ve pulled together, this is pretty much the things i’ve done while either bored or needed to do for a client.

This one is one of my actual websites i’ve been working on for a couple weeks now. This is what i have finished thus far. You can visit the real site at http://www.visualsugar.com aswell.

This is a website, im doing for my dj’ing company with a couple other guys. I had almost finished this than problems started to occur in the business and we split up. I still kept the site layout for ideas though.

This is a memory well earned. GFXvisions.com, the FIRST company i’ve ever owned, that is where my graphic DESIGN was born. I fought threw many challenged while in the just of this company and with great success i sold it for quite the penny…and than, he ran it to the ground :confused:, which destroyed me. But i moved on.

I like the one you chose as well, I’m not sure if you got to see this one yet though, it’s my personal fav, b/c it kinda looks like it could be in a mag.
Your stuff seems really good to me, I like it. If you don’t mind, try doing one with the pic you chose, and one with the one I just posted.

16

Yea i’ll give it a shot and show you.
Any special size you want?

EDIT:

we’re going to try and put a couple issues together to compliment the DVD’s. not this year.

I picked up some obscure magazine that was totally unautomotive in content, texture and style. so we’re going to try and make a mag that doesnt feel anything like a car mag.

this kid seems good enough
