Artwork and images for e28 placard for a car show

Post by RangerGress »

Local BMW dealer is opening up a new facility. They've asked that I bring the e28 to be part of a display of "classics". I'm trying to put together some kind of big display placard that I could place next to the car so the unwashed would understand what they were looking at.

Hopefully, someone has put together a big image of e28 info that they put together for a show. Then I can have a sign shop turn the artwork into a big placard. The backup plan is to do the best I can from what I find around the web.

e-28 poster

Not sure how much you want to spend, I saw some online art production places that will print to a metal sign. Looks like the old metal signs of times past. With photoshop, one could add lettering and other filters to produce a handsome piece that could be used at home and other activities in the future. Come to think of it, sounds like a good idea for me.

I sort of like the Pirelli M5 poster. ;)

The poster is very nice, but my car isn't an M5. I poke around today and see if I can find something that provides a lot of good info and looks nice. If I can, I'll take it to a sign shop at the end of the day and see what they can do in a hurry.

Over the past year or two I've seen a couple brochures and old (enthusiastic) car mag reviews. I need to find those again.

I did a google image search for E28 advertisement and got a bunch of hits on old ads but I'm not sure of the quality you need.

If you were doing a sort of collage, they might work.

It's too bad none of the cars sold here actually look like that. Rather, they look like the car in the MyE28 masthead ;)

You've asked for artwork and images.
I've been working on this for quite awhile:
