Movie Car Racing Posters

[Boomerjinks]

So I've got this movie/tv/replica car club in town. We have about a dozen members, and I'm trying to think of something real fun that I can get them for Christmas to say "thanks for being great."

These little posters are so ****ing rad that I try my hand at one and realize that they are really fun to make. Before I know it, it's 3am and I have created more designs than there are cars in the club.

Here are few up-close shots of how ****ing pretty these are!

Here's a thumbnail of a full-size original image that shows how clean the lines are.

Those are fun. A prefect example of the 'less is more' principle. Fantastic work.

what an awesome idea with a TON of potential. I saw your JY thread before this one, but i'll say it again; you ever do an eleanor, count me in!

While I do appreciate the hard work on this, It's just not right.
The Bug you used is a much later model
Herbie was a 1963 (The one in the pic is no older than 1968)
also, Herbie has a fabric sunroof, not a hard-top and also has over-riders on the bumpers

The stripes are wrong as well, the spacing is off
The red is slightly thinner than the white and the blue isn't as wide as you have it.

We need a Mach 5, and a Jurassic Park Explorer

... And Steve McQueen's car from Le Mans ...

I probably asked this before, BJ, but do you do graphic design for a living?

All of my photoshop training comes from before 2003

I could probably churn these out way faster, and with better design, if I knew what I was doing.

Mach 5, 66 batman, 89 batman, tumbler batman, TMNT van!

 

[Mike J.]

You appear to be doing just fine.

And Photoshop can't teach you good design.

That's something you know.

Very nice and clean looking. I had to think on one or two of them. Thanks for sharing.

Another one that occurred to me was American Graffiti.

... I'm trying to think of all the 'car movies' I can :rolleyes ...

Smokey and the Bandit?

Goldfinger?

National Lampoon's Vacation?

National Lampoon's Animal House (The Deathmobile)? Not that it's terribly famous for that car ...

... Luke's landspeeder?

Automan?

Lightcycle from Tron?

Spaceship car from The Last Starfighter?

Tony Stark's F1 car from Iron Man 2? We got a lot of Iron Man fans around here.

Robocop's Ford Taurus?
