I'm helping a friend with his product photos. He wanted a banner to hang on the back wall at a show. It will be 2 x 3 feet and printed on vynil. I saved both a tif file (190meg) and a jpg (33meg), at 270dpi. I don't have any idea if these sizes will work or not. I think he's going to Kinkos for printing.

Tha banner was composed from public domain photos he found plus the ones I took of his product. I used LumaPix's college program to construct it.

This is the 3x5' card for the product package and was assembled in PSP8. The deer mount is mine from a few years ago. The toughest part was getting his eye in focus and the peep not too oof. I used my 828/tcon17 from a distance trying to get more DOF.

I did this for a friend and he offered to pay for my time. I told him just remember me after he makes his first million:wink (http://misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=23#). After he insisted, I settled for a Cannon 500D. He got right on the internet and ordered it from B&H. Neat! Now I have to figure how to use it in combination with my 250D.

Any suggestions good/bad would be appreciated as I am new at this and need to learn alot.
Thanks,
Al

AlLooks great to me! It's been a good long while since I had my bow out but I know how this type of product works. I think you represented it well. The collage is a lot of eye candy but the product takes a pretty dominate role so I don't think that would be much of a distraction.

It's definitely something your buddy should be able to get some mileage from.

makes me want to pull my bow back out. I haven't shot with it in a year because I've been to busy with other things. Sigh...

I think this calls for a pic that I'll post in a seperate post..

Your collage is great. It really gets the message across. The only difference is I would have shot the model without the combat makeup on. A straight face would appeal to a homeboy hunter as opposed to war paint, which would appeal to a soldier, IMHO.

Thanks for your comments

MainFragger Homeboy hunter:rofl. Around here it's called camo. I think if his face was plain it would stand out too much and distract from the rest. You did remind me of another thought. He needs one made for a target archer theme without the camo and animal pics.
Thanks MainFragger for your comments.

Thanks NIR
