Are you asking if posters, here, like the poster you want to post online to sell?

And, if I buy one, is postage included in the price?

Yes, but you might consider keeping the same angles on the race car and production car.

I don't care for the straight-on rear shot of the production car (maybe as OnPoint said, use the same angle as the Race car). I also think the C7 logo is too large.

this is a modified polyptych, namely a quadrytych (this is not a commonly used word, and may not be available in your standard dictionary). its a form of art that im personally not fond of, regardless of the subject matter. if you are going to use this form, in my opinion, it manifests your subject more effectively if laid out in the traditional manner, namely a row, rather than a square. just my opinion, and i would feel the same regardless of what you were attempting to represent--which is also confusing to me here. it appears that you are trying to accomplish too much in too small a space.

i would suggest you explore the option of depicting the race model separately from the retail model, and decide what it is that you want to represent or emphasize from each. also, you may want to look at the diptych or the triptych, as your vehicle (no pun intended)/medium, if you separate the two models.

I think many Corvette enthusiasts would want this poster. I could see this hanging in my garage.

After you accomplish whatever he said, make the emblem smaller.

I might be in the minority here but FOR ME (only my opinion), I do not like the way the cars look to be Computer Generated. They do not look like REAL shots of REAL cars which TO ME makes them look like cartoons.

I like the idea and I like the layout but the actual car 'pics' are not my favorite look. They look like shots taken off NFS or Forza.

Like I said, just my two cents worth of a personal, subjective opinion.

I don't even own a C7, but I'd buy one and leave Jake in it. Jake is Corvette Racing has been since 2005 (actually was discussed in 2004).

no matter how you picture it, the C7 is a gorgeous vehicle...the convertible would also look great in this picture format!

Looks good. I like the flag logo better. But that is just one man's opinion
