Need help for my upcoming Halloween party promo.... Let's CHOP!!! - Photoshop Tutorials | Photoshop Contests

i have no idear · 09-02-2006, 06:33 PM

Hey guys, I've appreciated all the help here. Photochopz.com gets shout out on my myspace page (www.myspace.com/lockerroom) and the help has been outstanding. I'm looking to do a BIG Halloween party this year and was wondering if you guys can do the great work as usual? Here's a pic to work with. It's going to be printed on a postcard size card.

The details I need on the card are as follows:

"Join us Saturday October 28th for a chilling good time"

"Locker Room Music Presents... A DJ Krayzie Production"

"Costume contest will be held w/prizes awarded"

"Halloween 2006 at the Locker Room.... you've never seen anything like it!"

217-219 Greene St. Marietta, OH

Now, feel free to ad-lib this if you want to but these are the main ideas. Here's some pics to work with. The first pic here is for the background... The rest can be hooked in like the 'Locker Room' logo... Thanks a lot guys!

Edit: Sorry, I messed up the way the files needed to be so you guys could see, I posted underneath. Again, the first pic of the pumpkin is the background for the post card. I think it may need resized, but I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that something is easier to work with if the pic is big rather than small? I'm not sure exactly how to resize stuff, but I thought the big pics would make it easier for you expert photochopperz here. Thanks again to all!

I feel like a bonehead right now, lol. Sorry, here's the pics... This is the background pic w/the pumpkin, the Locker Room logo is included underneath, and 'Locker Room Music' can be used as well if needed for 'Locker Room Music Presents.... A DJ Krayzie Production'

I like it, but (to me anyway, anyone else agree) the white lettering seems a bit hard to read, like I'm straining to read. What do you think? Thanks again for all your help!

The whites bright, but I also tried black and the orange background color for the lettering. Pretty much any font/color will be a little hard to read, unless you use like Times New Roman font.
edit-btw, the white will look different if it was printed.

Okay, I have questions. . .
What size is the card 4.25 x 6 and how are you having it printed
Color copies or offset?
I'll work on it. . .but I need more intel.

Will this work? You should maybe think about "time" for contest judging - admission price if any. . .

It's 5.47" x 4.21 and it's going to be a color print. I really like how you did it, but now I'm thinking maybe the pumpkin looks too friendly w/the smile? Have any crazy halloween pics that could make it a little 'spookier'? lol. The way you set it up is great, just my choice of background I think may be lacking... any suggestions? Thanks again for all your help guys!

Let me see what I have for clip art
so. . .you're looking for a scary pumpkin or even something else?

If I was at a bar drinking and I saw that sign hanging by the pisser, It would be way to confusing to read. But thats just me, Im sure no one else will be drinking at the bar.
jk, I think it kicks ass. It looks way better than mine, but I just slapped default text on mine. Bleh...
