Well, this sig is getting awfully tired, and I know most of you need a little motivation when it comes to making kick-butt sigs, so here's the deal.....
1. Prize will be a laser cut 59mm tb plate. If you don't need a plate, just know that I sell these for $8 a piece, so if you don't need or want it, you can at least sell it for a little extra pocket money.
2. Sig should include a pic of the Z24 (naturally) and maybe a thumbnail of my '52 Chevy, like my current sig. I like to keep a pic of the N20 bottle either in the backround, or as another thumbnail. And please put my current screenname on it (Nitro, of course, not Jbeier)
3. I want an uncluttered space at the bottom of the sig to put my current personal best 1/4 mile time. I change this part of the sig on a regular basis to keep updated, so all I need is a spot to do that.
4. You can feel free to put a little watermark in the sig so people know you made Nitro's sig, but don't be garish about it please.
5. Winning sig will be picked April 21st (my son's 1st b-day). Have fun, be creative and use your own artistic flair. Feel free to use effects that you think look good, but no pics of scantilly clad women please. My wife would have my crapper in a sling!
6. Here are my pics for use in the sig.

And this is a good pic of the car, and the only suitable pic I have with the car at it's current ride height, but I detest the backround, so try to only use this pic if your extracting the car out of the pic. Also, if you're using one of the other pics, it would be great id you could chop the pic to make the car look lower, like it is now. Thanks

And one last decent pic of the old one....

Have fun, happy chopping!

I might give it a go depending if I have time to do a good job I'll see what I can do. I still have to make myself a new Sig

would it be alrite if theres a spot in the top right corner? the one i'm working, it'd just look better there instead of trying to make a spot in the bottom portion of the sig.

Yea, sure. Actually, I don't care where it is as long as it's there. I just wasn't thinking out of the box on that one, good call.

Heres what I came up with nice and simple lots of room for your quarter mile time . Hope ya like it
Something is still not appealing to me about it, I might tinker with it later, but if you like this one, it is all yours.
Have a good one,
Justin
umm.. maybe i should start a contest for a sig for me....
everyone has time to make them now right??
Mmm, I'll be doing this one. -evil grin-
^^^^^Can you not jack my thread please? If you want a sig, post in the correct forum, or make your own contest. This thread is not an outlet for your begging.
Guys, make sure to have copies of your entries without a 1/4 mile time so I can fill that part in myself as it changes. I can't use it if I can't change the times, since that number will be significantly lower this year.
Chevyboy, I like what you did with the O in Nitro, very creative.
Justin, I'm liking it so far, the black and white backround is a nice touch. A little tweaking could go a long way for that entry, but still a great one.
Shakes, for some reason, your entry is not loading up for me. You can e-mail it to me at jarrett_beier@excite.com and put "Nitro's sig" as the subject, thanks.
Nathaniel, can't wait to see your work, you might be the guy to beat.

Thanks, I just think my creative juices aren't really flowing lately. I might scrape that one and try a whole new theme, I just feel that there are spots on that sig that is "cluttered".
I am all about seeing JBodied's, I think he is going to take it, that or you if you create one. You two are two of the tops dogs in the IM right now.
Have a good one,
Justin
meh here are a few more from early morning doodles.
This is the redone one with that nitrous bottle taken out, I thought it killed the sig, just my opinion.
meh
meh
I need to get out of this creative slump that I am in, focusing too much time into my video / dvd projects and less on graphic projects, blah.
Have a good one,
Justin
i like your last two justin...
nitro i wasnt trying to jack your thread... i was trying to make a point. people have been waiting over a week for sigs.. in the SIGS thread then you just come and make your "contest" and out pop 12 sigs just for you... just think its @!#$ up.... sorry man..
How about this one, I am actually pretty excited about this one. I am happy on how the Nitro text turned out and how the background flows with the "dark" theme. It took me FOREVER to get that background designed how I wanted it. Props on the hopesfall cd designs for giving me some sweet ideas to design from.
Have a good one,
Justin
Another one with different text placement.
Have a good one,
Justin
justin-i like how yours turned out and i know what you mean about the creative juices thing im in one of those slumps right now. trying to get my groove back on.
Nathaniel- i cant wait to see yours cuz you do awesome work
also what do ppl think of mine no feedback is makin me wonder if they suck or just need a lil tweaking?
also im going to make some more tonight when i get back home
