    _________________________________________________

    Entry submission: See post below this one

    Hints: Since your image will be used for print there are somethings that you need to keep in mind. Your color mode should be CMYK. Your canvas size should be set as 2100x1463 pixels for best results. I am not too familiar with other tricks/techniques involved with creating work for print so if you do know what is required then plz post some hints/tips in the comments thread.

    CustomAuto Logo:Right click --> save as the following link for the Custom Auto Logo:
    http://www.customauto.ca/images/products/calogo.tif
    The logo color can be changed to whatever you would like as to match the rest of your entry

    Here is a link to the current CustomAuto.ca magazine advertisement....take a look at it to get a basic idea of what kind of quality they need and get an idea of what to do for the required features:

    Basically showing a preview of your entry (ie: not full size), a winner will be chosen after CustomAuto staff looks through and finds a selection they like. The winner will be notified via PM and they will email their fullsize files to the staff at CustomAuto.

    note: make sure that when you create your new document to use as the preview your color mode is set as RGB (keep your original file in CMYK but this new preview file MUST be in RGB if you want it to show up when attached to your post...)

    POST YOUR COMMENTS IN THE COMMENTS THREAD!!
    THIS THREAD IS FOR ENTRY SUBMISSION ONLY!

    Here's my entry, I wanted to do a cool blue colour scheme... but man, CMYK inks just don't support very nice blues. Oh well... I didn't have a lot of time to work on this... work is keeping me busy. Let's see everyone else's entries!

    Well this feels like a small waste of time, but I only started yesterday. As I have just found out.....the program I use (photoimpact 8) does not support CMYK properties. I learned this trying to switch to , and recreate the image in this format. Well here is my submission. If the image is liked enough, I will be able to use photoshop to properly use the CMYK color scheme. I have never done an ad before ........ya live and ya learn I guess.

    PS Extra Thanks To Ben from www.psylence.com (and here on Beyond) for permitting me to use his pictures for this setup.

    1 hr hackjob, but I have school tomorrow so I can't work on it more, here's the general idea, obviously I can fix the imperfections if I'm picked, but atm I'm very tired.

    Also, The light from the bottom left doesnt look good, but I flattened image by accident, so again, can fix if picked.

    Here's my second entry... why? Because I can. Actually it's because people were giving me a hard time about my first entry being a copy of my entry from the previous contest (which is actually farily accurate ). So here it is... not quite as finished as I would like... but I have a severe case of food poisoning right now and I'm surprised I was even able to post this. Good luck to everyone! Keep those entries coming!

    Heres my entry...its not 100% done yet (maybe close to 95% done...). I did what I could with the technical problems that I had going on (see comments thread for more info on the situation)

    All thats left is to add a row of Tuner company logos in the black strip that is above the bottom red area. I couldn't load any company logos onto my pc because of a failed floppy drive and lack of internet so thats where I had to stop

    I hope you guys at customauto like this one

    FYI: When it is viewed at PROPER size the text is NOT blurry...I guess I just resized it wrong when I pasted it onto the new image
