TRMN8TR Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wondering if anyone here is a graphic designer, or at least better with that sort of stuff than what my MS Paint skills allow me to make? I have the text written, a few graphics picked out, and I started trying to lay something out on paper and realized I have no clue what I'm doing.If you might be interested in helping me out post up or send me a PM and let me know what you would charge to do something like that. I can give more details if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Perhaps a few more details? What is your end result going to be?A poster, newsletter, x-mass card? I can do a little photoshopping if that's the kind of thing you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I'm trying to create a "racer resume" that I can print out on a standard 8.5x11 paper. I don't know if photoshop is the way to do it, or some sort of graphic design software is out there? But I know word and MS paint are not the way to go and that's all I have. Can't get to image hosting sites at work to post a pic, but something like this link is what I'm trying to accomplish. Doesn't even need to be that fancy. http://static.wix.com/media/38b34f_c01ca9cd0870577876e05a9d20912be5.jpg_256 Edited October 1, 2014 by TRMN8TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 You should be able to go into word documents and get a simple template to get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^^^ Something like that can be done in Word for sure. You could go big time with Illustrator, but it can be done other ways. I have folks in that line of work that can assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is just the kind of thing it was made for. Edited October 1, 2014 by Strictly Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ok, so maybe you can do it in word with a template? I'll just say I'm good at a lot of things, even pretty decent with computers but making something like that is out of my league. I could probably do it if I really put my mind to it, but I'd like to have it done sometime this year. If any of you are capable, have the time, or know someone who can assist point me in their direction. I've got a lot of things going on and decided to ask the experts on this project. Will pay for help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Also I'm an enginerd and not what you would call artistic. It would be nice to have someone add a little flair to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I remember in high school we were told graphic designers would make big bucks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Here is a starting point:http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/ Scroll down to the bottom of the page for different categories and for older Office versions.Poke around a bit. Bet you find one that will work. Flair included. On the other hand I've never had "extra money" Edited October 2, 2014 by Strictly Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Don't know if it's a temporary outage, but anything I click on the page takes me to "This page can't be displayed" I'll check back later and at home instead of work, sometimes it's just a work filter thing? Thanks for the link though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Well, found a ton of the templates already in Word. Never knew they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 you can ask denise for help if you need it. she does this for a living though she might be overkill for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 That would probably work. I need to stop out soon to see your offspring anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Well, found a ton of the templates already in Word. Never knew they were there. Don't forget "Power Point" a lot of graphic stuff in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 do this: load up the template with content (pics, words, numbers, etc), save it and email it to me. i'll have denise look at it for you and maybe she can touch it up for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
