The Car Graphics Designer

The jobs of the car graphics designer are:

1. come up with a good color scheme

2. design a good-looking number that goes well with the color scheme

3. work in the colors and name of the sponsor, once they are found and signed on

There are two ways to approach your job:

1. Take the line drawing of the Dodge Intrepid [all four makes look pretty much the same] and make several copies. Try different colors, stripes, colored areas, and number styles. Decide on your best - looking design and then wait to see if it goes well with the sponsor - once a sponsor is landed.

2. Look through actual cars on the web and "adopt" a graphic package from a real car. Then, again, wait to see if the sponsor’s logo looks good with that graphic package. Remember, the colors are usually determined by the sponsor’s colors. You could link to the car makes page.

REMEMBER - The team cannot do much until you have finished your job. So, get going, don’t waste time, and don’t delay yourself with tiny details.
