Specific Need help and advice

[cdub25]

Recently I posted a request to assist with the design of a trailer for my Police Department. My request went unanswered and admin stated that it was because I wasnt offering an amount of money for this. Im not getting paid by my deparment for this, we are a small department with only 3 full time employees so funds are limited. Never the less I purchased Photoshop and illustrator in attempt to do it myself.. I have no clue what im doing but I put this togeather with my limited knowlege and youtube. Can anyone help me make it look amazing and exsplain what you did so I can learn more.

I remember your post, for me more than the money was that i didn't understood what you really want it and i found it vague and confusing, of course i'm not very good on english so i could be my fault .

Can you explain a little more what you want?

Of course, we were given a grant through an insurance company to start a program called "Drunk Busters" to help raise awareness of drunk driving. Part of this grant was to by a trailer and have it wrapped with a design of our own. A company stated that they would wrap it for us but we had to design it, hits where I came in! In short we have no idea what we wanted only a rough outline from other deparments in this program. ill attach below. However we all felt that this was a little too basic and we wanted something that would stand out more. I came up with this after vectoring our units graphics and so fourth. I'm interested to see anyones ideas however as Im just starting out with photoshop and want to learn as well

More than the history i want to know if you have a basic idea of what you want, because looking at your sketches i dont see how you could put that on a trailer.

 

[cdub25]

I appologize, im not quite sure what more to tell you. The design is being printed out and placed on the trailer..

 

[Argos]

You dont have an idea of what you want on the trailer? like for example, has to have american flag. this logo from this police department, etc etc..

 

[cdub25]

I wasnt given any guide line as to what it should look like i was basing my images off the badge and the trailer picture i provided.

 

[Argos]

I assume your police department is from Texas Danbury doesn't it? Not from Dallas.

 

[cdub25]

correct

 

[Argos]

The panther on your sketch mean something ?

 

[cdub25]

its the schools mascot

 

[Argos]

Ok, i'm going to try something with this then. Let me now if there is another school, fundation, message you want in the trailer.

 

[cdub25]

Great! nope thats the only school! it has to have the drunk buster logo thats it

 

[Argos]

Last question XD, you want something with espectacular look or something more simple (elegant, serious)?

 

[cdub25]

What ever you think im open to any and all

 

[Argos]

First test, today i dont have much time, i have to go right now, so let me now what you think and i work on it later or tomorrow.






Cheers!

Nice work, Argos!

 

[cdub25]

Wow! Chief and I really like it! The only thing he requested was to change to red line to a blue line and add a quote at the bottom saying “walking a straight line” and the photo below somewhere on it as it is our mission statement
