Business card

[Anonymous]

ok after seeing that red calibra i thought myself that i should have a propper bussiness
card instead of writing on a peice of paper... so here is what i have come up with and with
the webmasters permission and th permission of the owners of the cars in the photo, i would like to know if is it ok that i use it? also i wanna know
what you all think?

[NEMO]

Looks good...

[mr_astra_retired]

Im cool with my car on there

[Rhino]

I'm not sure what ppl would think about your TITTLE? :)

Also, you might wanna think about getting rid of you email address and put your login name... that way they've gotta go out of there way should they or someone else want to abuse you for 'littering' their car (of course if they're not interested)... plus, they won't know who Alex is on OA.

Nice photo too guys. Coulda put more thought into lining up the spokes on your rims though :)

[OPC]

Im cool with my car on there

DITTO.... looks good too alex.. nice work

[opel_calibra]

<insert id here>

omg they rock lol didnt even know you did them bro, just wanna put a custom touch on but if your cool with it can i use some of the opel logo you got in there?

also thanks for the input rhino i will change it all around now :D cheers

[opel_calibra]

i have a adobe illustrator file of the design if you have and know how to use illustrator... but its 21megs.. or in an editable pdf its 4megs.. but you can change the whole layout that way

Nice photo too guys. Coulda put more thought into lining up the spokes on your rims though :)

hey rhino thats where we are taking the photos for the next NSW cruise, so we'll make sure we line them up just for you ;) :lol:

i like that business card idea, and your trial one looks SMASHING |OPEL| ....!!!

if u need someone to proof read it .... u know who to come to ;) lol

[ultim8DTM5]

Matt's are the shit!!! (shizzle)

[Mitch]

I prefer opel_calibra's. :)

[Anonymous]

here is the new one :P took into account:

- change of email to username
- deletion of tittle
- spokes not being lined up (gawd i love photohop!!!)
and i also added a little catch pharse down the bottom like opel_calibra's card :D hope you dont mind bro

[OPC]

ah thats betta...

[Turblue]

Can I see one where you have a blank field where the name and username is located..?? This way people can put their details in.

Thanks.

[Anonymous]

sure turblue :D great to see that you wanna use it! i feel priveliged, i took out the name and username and anyone may use this card as they wish :D thanks guys glad you like it

P.S it needs to be downsized to be a business card size, the reason its bigger is so its easier to work with, thanks

[Mr T]

Thats awesome, and I am honered that you chose a photo that had my car in it.

But that photo shop needs touching up, the wheels on steve's (Mr_Astra) car and mine look dreadful. Maybe its the way the shadow/light reflections are all wrong.

Maybe take LJ's (furthest away) and copy and paste them onto the others. Just make sure they get enlarged to fit to scale.

I'm fairly curtain I will use it.

If you want I can print heaps at work and hand them out at the blue mountains cruise, we have the set up here for that.

[GOZOFF]

Looks awesome |OPEL| hell im cool with that 8)

:shock: Damm there awesome too gee i wish I new how to do art like that 8) 8)

[Anonymous]

ok plz tell me i am done :P here is the final copy set to almost fit a normal business card (its about 1 cm longer than a normal business card)

fixed the rims :P anything else you guys want me to change just let me know

[ultim8DTM5]

You can tell the first and third wheel has been manipulated. Get it perfect at a higher res, then shrink the entire image. It looks like it's been changed at that res? :|

[Anonymous]

ok back to the drawing board :P will do that ultim thanks

*changing this post instead of being a post whore (i'm learning hehe)*

hows that?

[ultim8DTM5]

What program are you using?

[Anonymous]

photoshop 7.0

[Dee]

why are ppl being so fussy about the wheels being in the same place.. we all know that doesnt happen in real life dont we....... :|

[Anonymous]

Excellent Work Guys.

Why didn't ya jack the Cars up and turn the Wheels when the Pic was Taken :roll:

[Rhino]

Now re-arrange it so the SRi and silver T are at the opposite ends with the Ardens in the middle, like they are fading in colour... :lol:

Come on Alex, get to it.

[Anonymous]

hahahaha yes sir!!!

[ultim8DTM5]

why are ppl being so fussy about the wheels being in the same place.. we all know that doesnt happen in real life dont we....... :|

Attention to detail is a curse some of us are afflicted with :(

Good idea Rhino.

[ultim8DTM5]

BTW has anyone here used Cinema 4D yet?

[Mrs T]

Kid that photo wasnt taken for the purpose of the business cards :D

It was just a photo taken when we were trying to organise a cruise.

BTW looks awesome OPEL

[Anonymous]

ahem talk about being bored, i did it... its not that good cause i am limited with my photoshop technique

[ultim8DTM5]

Looks pretty good, but theres a fault in the windows of the first Arden turbo.

[Anonymous]

well it looks almost right :P cose enough!!!!

I was being Clever, Like as if ya going to take a Trolley Jack on Cruise in the Event Someone take a Photo of the Cars in a Line :lol:

[OPC]

OMG this thread is the best...

NO NO NO you cant have my car as the second one in the shot put it in first...

oh u cant ay.. ok put it last with the ultra blue second and silver first and the other arden blue third :D ...

[opel_calibra]

ok guys i was bored and |OPEL| inspired me to do another card so here you go... as you can see theres 5 different colours and two different types.. one with a personalized name on it instead of a written one.

if you would like a personalised one with your opelaus name email me at [email protected] with the subject OPELAUS and let me know your user id and the color you want... i will respond and attach your choice as soon as i have a chance. you can organise to print them yourself

This has turned into the "who has the bigger e-wang" contest!

:mrgreen:

[opel_calibra]

lmfao@e-wang... oh man that made my day

[ultim8DTM5]

:wink:

[Anonymous]

hehehe funny i was planning on making another card :P love the use of pics there opel_calibra you using photoshop?

[Anonymous]

any colour pref? i cant think of a good one :P

[Anonymous]

well i just tried to improve the old card tell what you guys think?
new or old
hehe used the pic with the astras in colour order :P

[Dee]

i like the new one better

the background colours arent so bold and you can read the text on the card ;) good work alex

[Mr T]

I like the old one better, more elegant with the fading of back ground 8)

@ |OPEL| are you annoyed yet :D

[OPC]

old one is better...

[Rhino]

I think...

Old fonts on the new card.

Then change it to the international business card size of 86mm x 54mm.

Don't forget to give it 3mm bleed and CMYK, 150dpi (at least) images for best results! Trim and calibration marks are a must...

[Dee]

see what u got urself in for alex :)




all in good fun :lol:

[Anonymous]

yea gimmie some time though :P

[Hotty_Smurf]

guys hurry up and get one done. so we can all argee and make it as an OFFICIAL tagged/ bussiness card.
i say once youve come up with three or four wack it on a poll so we can vote on it.
what do you guys reckon?

let the demoracy regin, vote labour 2008!! :twisted:

[Anonymous]

lol there isnt really one specific one these are just for people who dont know about the site, say you see a hot opel in a car park, you whack a card on it and it makes the site look more professional

[opel_calibra]

theres no need for there to be an official one... people can just choose whatever one they want.. or make their own
