Hi everyone.. I'm looking for someone to design a car decal.. & the best design I picked will receive $100, and if it wins my local contest. You'll receive an additional US$1000.

I mean of coz, if I win my local contest, ie. with your design. =p

I myself ain't a designer but I know what it takes to be resourceful, so I am here to urge all of you to showcase your best talents in design, and this time round, its something more challenging, its a car..

The Car Model is by: Kia - Picanto

Some images of the car will be displayed at the end of this post to supplement you with some inspiration.

Before I tell you more about the contest, I wanna make it clear that payment will be by Western Union only. So make sure you're somewhere where there's Western Union, but if all else fails.. Yes, I can pay via e-gold/paypal.

So here's the contest details:

Objective:
To create a Picanto Car Body sticker which shows personal style & is unique.
Tips: Check out car decals/stickers etc. for design inspirations.

Some of my own personal style which u guys can work on.
Strong/Powerful/Resourceful/Witty/Fast/Speed/Agile
My nickname's "Titan", & people do call me that, I've no idea how u guys can try to incorporate this into the design, but I've seen your works & I'm confident of your ideas. So, amaze me!

Theme:
Cool:cool: =)

Make it something people will say : "OMFG!"
When I drive your design decal on the street.

The design will be for the sides of the car, symmetrical on both sides.. Nothing on the front cover(the part where u can lift up and see the engine)
Nothing on the top
Nothing on the back

Putting it in simpler terms: Just download the design template, & anything that's white is up as design space.

*Assume the picanto as your colour of choice so as not to restrict your creativity. But do check out the different colour themes for the car b4 you jump into it. =)

so the design chosen will be bought for 100 bucks and your gonna take the credit for it?
will the decal become something they will make as an option for the car when sold to the public?
will you make money every time it's sold?

y-ideas.net
Nov 27th 2007, 11:42 am
Nope, it will not be publicly be sold, if it really gets on a car, that will be my car, and there will be no duplications.
It wun be sold to the public, only to me, and come to think of it, lol, i do wish to be able to make money everytime its sold.

I do have a question.

What does the winner need to provide to you? Does it need to be high res print ready? Or what?

y-ideas.net
Dec 2nd 2007, 4:13 am
The winner needs to provide me with the design on the templates in which i provided.

Please provide the highest resolution possible.. So that it is possible to be made into a decal..

imvain2, the picture that you've provided is fantastic.. =O

How did you do it!? =O

Absolutely stunning, and its a fantastic entry..
Or is that an existing decal of someone elses' car!?

imvain2
Dec 2nd 2007, 4:20 am
Actually I took this photo and added the decals.

Wow, that is very realistic. Even as I look closely, it still looks like it's on the actual car, and the whole thing is a picture of the car with the decals.

Good job man.

Of course I don't mind, it wasn't my image to start with!!;)

Since the final image had to be on the template that was provided, I found a picture of the car on google images. And I wasn't planning on selling or doing anything with the original orange car other then just showing what the design looks like on a real car.

It looks a bit better in this second one with some adjustments to make it blend better :)

Just so you get a better idea of what it would look like for real :)

I have a full res 1600x1200 image and PSD saved. Please give me any and all feedback. I went with some nice flourishes, but at the same time, some cool grungy ideas. Hope you like it!

marky d, that's ill, but I'd lose some of the grassy looking stuff and do more with the vectors

well, i took your template and did a vector of it because it looked like it was made in paint :P. Then i brushed so you can see the preview of a real picanto with the decal. I draw the design from a sketch and i did a vector (can be printed at any size) of the design. I have more sketches so please give me more time to finish them.

1st version:

100% by me, i didn't use any brush from others.

(the picanto logo isn't a watermark, it would be part of the design.

Another style (not finished but you can see the idea =))

And this one with same style
