Good representation of Gens! Ditto on the font though!

www.dafonts.com

check them out - tons of free fonts - I think there is also 1001fonts.com or something.

I like the blur background idea - makes the truck (subject) stand out more. Make a selection around the truck and then ctrl+I to select inverse and gaussian blur. Don't blur it totally, just enough to make the truck the main focus of the image.

Agreed... I sometimes spent hours downloading new fonts at my old job from both those sites... (its 1001freefonts.com I believe)

I'm with hazmat on magneto
I would also recommend the font marcelle (sp?)... its got kinda a baseball shirt feel but I like it with trucks...
Also, I'd round the corners more on the front collage if ya feel like it.

Good work so far

Ok guys an update, I'm changing the font to Magneto, it just looks neato And I'll try my hand at blurring the background a "tad" Check back tomorrow, since I don't have photoshop at home

glad you took my suggestion about the blur .. to me since the calander subject is rangers they should stand out ...

Here is how mine would look - I know you are suppose to do the work - but use this one as a guide - I set my blur to 14.8 and got this . . . use the mask tool and zoom in close and paint that mask as close as you can, then invert the selection and blur the BG . . . good luck man - it is looking great so far.
Forgot to edit the plate . . . doh!

yea that looks awesome thats what i had in mind when i heard about your project the other day ..

Only just saw this thread but I'm glad you chose to change the font, I agree it didn't fit the theme very well. I like the blurred background, looks pretty cool, although in some cases where the background was carefully chosen, i.e. in Baby Harleys photo, it would kinda be a shame to blur it out.

The other thing is you can use the gaussian blur to blur the license plate effectively without it being just a plain white rectangle or something like that.

So Hazmats Ranger would look like this:

As opposed to this:

I think the white blob is just too intrusive lol! And the blur is really just about as easy to do!

Yea I see what you all mean about the blur, I'll blur certain ones, and others ill just edit out the liscense plates. Thanks for all the help guys, i love that in my photoshop class we can pick what we want to work on, so it doesnt feel like I'm doing work

Ok then here's Haz's, I used Gaussian blur, and set it to about 2.3 so its not overly blurred, but makes the truck stand out more, now I have eleven more to do

nice work!!! post up the final version when u are done

 

[Hazmat Ranger]

Looking good - but I am biased in my decision LOL.

One more suggestion - lower the height of the bevel and emboss to about half of that - it distorts the text a bit too much and add a small drop shadow to it, will help it stand off the page a bit.

Otherwise great job . . . - do we get credit on the last page for suggestions or something - ROFL - just kidding, the truck in there is cred enough . . .

Something like this - just my opinion/suggestion:

You would need to separate the line spacing a bit more since the lower letters are overlapping the top ones. Look on the character/paragraph palette for a icon that looks like an A over another A and has an adjustment box next to it - default says Auto - play with that to get better spacing.
