We Have Enougth Money For The Banner

[a20089]

As the title says we have enougth to get a banner printed up with dimentions 2m x 1m. We can have as many colours as we want what ever design, BUT... The image MUST! be very high quality to print out at that size.

So far the most liked design is the Black R34 in the past thread.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ba...40&start=40

Now is the time for people to come up with any alternative designs, and hopefully much larger files.

I'm willing to say the best design (as voted by us) that we get by the end of the month wins and will then be printed, what say you?

I think 2m x 1m is too small - 3x1 would be better if we want it to show up at shows & things and shouldn't cost much more.

Agreed, time to narrow down on design and if we decide to raise more funds, at least we can work out our target and aim for it.

I also like the black one, but would like to see what it would look like with blue fonts instead of red (keeping the tail lights red of course) for comparison - I might still go back to red for final decision, but would like a look - an extra colour will add extra to the cost as well, but not excessive.

how much wxtra $$ would be need for the 3x1, i agree thats a better size, black 34 looks cool, but is simple (yrs im aware thats the idea)

I like the Black R34, but I urge caution settling on one model [unless it is the very first ever model, but in the case of the ACT it is not relevant].

The banner needs to be very generic, you don't want to loose or disenfranchise owners of other models, remember this may be your only 'calling card' at shows etc and the general joe bogg will believe everything he reads [unless it involves money]. Not everyone that walks past the banner is going to enquire about its significance.

And I'd hold out for a 3 x 1, the banner needs presence, you don't want to look amatuerish with a small postage stamp one.

I wonder if you might be better off with a shot or caricature of a Bathurst winning R32??? in a ACT setting {it pains me to say that, I'm a R33 man}. Once again one model, but one the public remember maybe??

Great ideas.

I'll get a price on a 3 x 1 meter, but likely we won't have enougth for it.

I like the group shot from last years photo session, or how about we get a 32 33 and 34 together, and take some pics for the banner? (group shot)

Or post a request for some designs in the Photography section here. So good photographers and photoshoppers in there.

I like that Mick's black design with R34.

Some alternatives...

keep em coming guys, great effort, we can vote later

[a20089]

Things seem to be slowing down with the designs

So here's where we are up to

We have $279 in my kitty + what ever michelle has at her place

It costs $260+gst for a 2*1meter banner or $340+gst for a 3*1 meter.

If Michelle still has the the $30-$40 I think she has (could be wrong) I will throw in the rest and organise to get the #81 meter one done.

BUT.... I need an agreed design that is HUGE. It can be any colour or as detailed as we want it, but it must be MB's in file size.

[Michele]

We could look at this as well (additional to the banner)

Would need to check the quality Retractable Banner

Okay, so even tho the link is accurate, it wont work hmmm then try searching Item number: 250277717907, would probably go the larger sizes too - I noticed they also do banners.

[Bluprint]

If we can't come to some sort of conclusion as to what sort of picture can be used, then I suppose we could head out one more time for another photoshoot?

Maybe around sunset time? We haven't tried that yet.

[Michele]

good excuse for another get-together too

would love a group shot in front of Parl House *hint hint*

[Bluprint]

Funny you mention parliament house

I was mucking around here, in front of old parliament house at sunset a couple of months ago, it's where I got the idea to suggest it.

[ZCR]

they are some top pics! if this photo shoot does happen try and give some notice in advance so i can get my matching wheels back off my mate, i have miss matching wheels again haha

[CeJay]

Benjamin offices car park (amongst / underneath the concrete buildings), around twilight aint too bad either, theres overhead lighting, not sure if security would like it though, still it has potential. Also spotted one or two nices places to take some pics on the cruise to bungendore, ie abandoned railways stations, and other subject matter that looked interesting.

Here's my contribution...

I can do the same with any model of Skyline, I just liked the look of this one.

P.S. I had to save this as a JPEG to post it, the original is much higher quality.

That is exactly what I was thinking about. Probably with the new GTR in the foreground.

Say maybe have a small rear profile of an R30, R31, R32, R33, R34, V35, V36, R35 under the SAU on the left (as per Donnan's original idea)

[Bullet32]

It would be extemely hard to get a photo of all the Skyline models side by side, damn near impossible actually... I know that its possible to photoshop all of them together but it would take a fair bit of time and effort and I think it would look far to crowded and busy.

I think just having one car on it has more visual impact, perhaps we should vote on the most popular model?

I agree one car having the major visual impact, and the fact it has taken so long to get the banner to where it is, I think the R35 might be old by the time it's printed :-) If we print a R32 which would probably be a very liked car, it makes the banner/club look very dated already.

What I was saying about the rear ends of the skylines, was to have a small picture one under each other, of the rear of the car (The signature skyline feature - twin taillights). Have a look at the quick mock up and think the R32 is a picture of a r32 rear end.

[INVRTD]

love that one, need the new gtr rear end, and like very much the idea of the twin tailights down the side, nice touch
