BANGERMAD07 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 In Photoshop, Its very easy to create some cool effects with text, Try expermimenting, If youve got a good banger mag in the house read that, Look at some of the pictures of cars, And come up with some ideas... Something ive noticed helps me is too look at a colour wheel, I like to look and try to get Harmounious Colours if i want something nice looking or Contrasting if i want it to look like a messed style skin, Also get onto www.Dafont.com For some new fonts, Look for ones that stand out and are bold, Also look for originality in your skins, Dont go with the crowd, Go for something different Good luck (683 That races ministock at Cowdenbeath Racewall?)

pazza Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 when changing the body colour, use 'colourize' or 'change hue/saturation' then you will get the body colour showing through, instead of solid blue. good signs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANGERMAD07 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 na mate its kyle irvine and thanks for the offer Sorry pal, Dont watch minis that often Nice looking skin though, Just as pazza said use Hue-Saturation tool, (Ctrl+U), And try adding some sparkles would make it look quite realistic also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANGERMAD07 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I Like that for a first attempt Variations in fonts maybe Colours look nice too, Clean them up a little though, Make it look less Blended and more Exact for SSC's Very Nice Mate Good Luck, If You want i can make you a couple Decals If you are struggling with anything, Not that im taking the mince about your skins, Only if you would like some mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee dode Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 did u use a brush to paint the car mate? if u did its easier/faster to use the hue/saturation(ctrl+u on photoshop) to colour the car just make a few copys of the body layer colour them and delete wot u don't want Good for one of your first attempts cheers dode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
