If anyone wants posters of their own unique car, then you can post requests here. But here are the guidelines:

• Each design will take me at least 1-3 weeks to complete; it can take longer depending on the design. I make everything from scratch, so the process takes a considerable amount of time. Once I make a few posters I can have general templates for cars, which can speed up the process. I will also make general poster designs that I can mass produce, which will come later.

• The pricing for the posters are as follows: -16"x11" - $30.00 -22"x15" - $35.00 -34"x23" - $40.00 -52"x35" - $55.00 -I can also sell designs (not printed) starting at $15-The dimensions can made vertically or horizontally based on the customer's preference.-Prices are subject to change in the future. That is the standard rate as of now until I find a quality, cheaper printer locally.

• Please note that the price of each poster (if vector art) is only for one 3/4th view of the car, or a straight front and rear view of the car. Any additional views requested are an additional $5.00-$10.00, and will take longer to complete.

• I specialize in vector art, but I can make collages/any other design the customer may want.

• This is the whole process: -The customer will email me pictures and design details they would like implemented in the poster. (I need some decent pictures to work of off, so night shots or obscenely small pictures will not be helpful. The pictures will help me make a better product, so this is your choice.) -I will email the customer periodically a small version of the design after any major developments have occurred. This will allow the customer to make any changes before reaching the final product. -Once the final product is finished, I will ship the poster upon receiving payment. - Payment methods include PayPal and Money Order - Paypal users can sent payments to: [email protected]

Hopefully I can earn some business here. I like Nissan's designs, so that is why I decided to start here. I will show examples of my work in the following post.

Can you simply print out some of these big posters like as a big picture???

I wouldnt mind having a big picture like that of my car, but I wouldnt necessarily need the work involved...

I'm not sure what you mean by "but I wouldnt necessarily need the work involved." Anyway..just clarify it for me and I'll see what I can do.

AZhitman- I have to finish at least one car for NICO before i start making these posters...so take your time when sending me those pictures haha :D

One more thing...I recommend just buying the design. Printing is pricey, and you might want your own custom size. So I think its a better deal.

Do you have any more examples of your work. I really like the ones you have, and I think I'd like to get a design of mine done, but now I'm just lost when it comes to ideas! Any suggestions (car in sig)?

Once I get some more work done on my car (which unfortunately will take a while) I'll definitely be up for this, I hope you do well! Maybe I'll get one of my brother's car for his birthday, though that'll be a few months.

Awesome work. When you say the art is in vector format, I assume that means that resolution isn't an issue? I'll be signing up for a couple probably. 350Z and 1st gen Q! Is it easy for you to change colors on the vehicles once they're done?

MetaOrbit- I suggest that front quarter view of your car. Also..I see you have a few audio components. If you have a custom set up in your trunk, interior, etc, I think that would make a cool design.

Daedalus- Well...I wouldn't exactly say TRUE vector (I am in the process of learning true vector programs such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator) But resolution is not an issue, I figured that I would make a large enough image to where resolution wont be a problem. As for the color issue...do you mean you want multiple colors for a single car?

Well, I'm thinking I'll want a pic of a black 1st-gen Q, and others will want it in other colors. Don't want you to reinvent the wheel with each one. The 350Z is up in the air since I don't own one. Such nice lines though.

This guy is good guy, he does real good work. He's only 16 and knows a bunch of stuff about Photoshop, but nothing about cars. I've known him his entire life and used to give him MASSIVE wedgies when he was younger. But hey, that's what older cousins are for right??? Good Job Ollie and maybe one day Luz and Cesar will let you own a 240 just like everybody else on this board. :D

I would definitely be interested.. i like the way the first poster is set up, the angled shot... I would want a black 95 240sx. I can send you a pic but apparently there isn't any rush. S'cool just keep us posted, thats pretty good work too guy. I wish some of my family were on the boards with me.;)

COUNT ME IN. Which of the above sizes are popular? Reason being, I'd buy a frame to go with it.

You'll have to find me a good picture, because I dont have any. I think the best angle is the rear quarter on my 92 Q, on the passenger side so it shows the Infiniti and "Q45" badges.

I'm in. I'll pay.
