First Off Graphics layout - APT Sprint Evo 7

No offence caused, I am sure. Logan asked for opinions and that is what he is getting. A white car is such a great piece of canvas......just adhoc stickers slapped on is a missed opportunity. Go brave or go home Mr Black

Haha, don't be silly- any comments or ideas are welcome, positive or negative!

ive had a very quick play with the design.
original didnt to me flow with the direction of the car

all i have done is flipped the flag around and moved the motul and exedy graphic around.

Cheers for the comments guys, as already said, no offence taken at all....

I think myself and Gary and Dan thought similar. Not quite working me thinks....

Like I said- I can't really do photoshop-type stuff... but having begun recreating the APT Evo on Forza3 ages ago and never quite finishing it, I still have the logo's (plus some downloaded from the Storefront), so I had a quick bash at my own interpretation-

Not perfect by any means, and its missing the Pace Products and EvoDrySump.com logo's (and BigPower of course).

And so the process begins:)

1. The larger APT works but needs a little tweek to the shadow to lift it off the car.

2. The one thing Alan does is to add the stickers from the series you compete in, onto the car design as they can affect the final look of the car and wreck a good design. They have to be there so put them on.

Will look at this tonight as work blocks anything from photobucket:banghead::banghead:

But the quick look I had on my phone it looks pretty good with a larger APT logo, and the mlr logo on the numberboard is a cheeky little idea!
Forza graphics look pretty ace eh! Makes it look so much more real than the flat proofs!

I have to e-mail JD signs as well later, not had internet where I am staying this week either:banghead::banghead: so can add these ideas into the pot.

Cheers Dan

and also Pablo and the rest of you guys for the input so far:coolgleamA:

100% better Dan thanks to better design and Forza's better modelling (I miss that game for that element alone) Huge improvement mate..........looks like a proper race car now

I think the APT needs to be much bigger, starting at the rear of the front door, running over the rear C pillar .. basically crossing the windows, almost to the point that it seperates chunks of the car ... unfortunately I don't have photoshop here to mock up what I mean .. think also the Rosssport needs to be taller, infact within the swage lines of the panel it's on ...

OK, its not quite photoshop, but its a good deal of the way there.
