Following on from my rugby thread of the same ilk:

https://www.606v2.com/t15948-rugby-and-the-movies

Lets see your creative side and create some movie posters for newly created boxing movies.

Best one wins a prize*

*prize being awarded not legally binding. In fact its a downright lie.

And remember to keep them within site rules - nothing rude, offensive, libellous etc.

And put them in spoiler tabs please.

Er, cheers.

I am using Microsoft Paint and also doing my job at the same time, if that helps explain it.

I was laughing at Unions poor attempts earlier but Scott just put mine in the shade

by Scottrf Fri 14 Oct 2011, 5:01 pm

They aren't mine, my PS trial is up. Might try and get another trial and have a go though.

Poor attempts?

by coxy0001 Mon 17 Oct 2011, 3:23 pm

What's my prize? I've noticed there is a tiny bit of smallprint but it's too small to read. Having a disclaimer that small is illegal, and i know how you don't like things illegal.

Therefore i shall be claiming a prize, or if someone (small chance) comes up with a better one i'll beat the drums for them to receive a prize.

Failure to provide said prize will result in legal proceedings being started.

What on earth has he done that's better than that?! I'd be dissappointed if a 5 year old kid had come up with them!

Last Tango in Plaster of Paris must be the winner, surely.

The Frazier one better suited your 'blocky' artistic sytle.

I was going to try do it last night but wouldn't have the foggiest. Union, if you want to win this you need to do the 'White Men Can't Jump' poster, super impose Snipes and Harrelson with BHop and Calzaghe. That would be your winner.

Your levels of graphic creativity astound me. I'm going to have a chat with our TD to get you on board as lead creative designer.

Sean, you might have to wait weeks to get that one. It takes Union time to come up with something sound technically brilliant that you'd think you're looking at a real movie poster.....

by **Union Cane** Tue 18 Oct 2011, 11:24 am

I've surpassed myself with this one :

Thanks. I took the kids to see it when it came out. Great film. Russell Brand was excellent.

You have Microsoft Paint and Google, surely. Do it yourself.

give me instructions then.

by Scottrf Tue 18 Oct 2011, 11:41 am

You took 8 months to learn how to quote, I wouldn't bother.

by **Union Cane** Tue 18 Oct 2011, 11:49 am

Michaels, Sean wrote:give me instructions then.

Put "white men can't jump movie poster" into Google

Refine the search to 'images'

Refine the size to 'medium'

Select appropriate image

Click 'Full size image'

Right click on image, and select 'save picture as'

Save picture onto your desktop

Repeat above for google searches "joe calzaghe" and "bernard hopkins"

Open Microsoft Paint

File - Open - Select the poster image from your desktop

Open another Microsoft Paint

File - Open - Select the JC picture

Click the 'select' button then draw a square around JC's head

Right click then 'copy'

Switch back to first Microsoft Paint (the one with the poster)

Right click and 'paste'

Resize Joe's head as appropriate (pull from bottom right corner) and position accordingly.

Repeat with Hopkins

Select a big thick pen and scribble out the word 'jump'

Type the word 'box' in its place

Save file, and display on here (with spoiler) for all to see.

That's all there is to it.

I know it would have been easier for me to just do it, but then you would never learn.

Now show us what you can do, Seany-boy...

by Michaels, Sean Tue 18 Oct 2011, 12:16 pm

Done it. How do I get a picture on here? It's a beauty. used spray paint and everything!!!!

by **Union Cane** Tue 18 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm

Click the 'host an image' button (it looks like a picture of a tree with an old floppy disk in front of it) then 'browse' and find your image then 'host', select the middle url and then paste that onto here and then spoilerise it.

by **Union Cane** Tue 18 Oct 2011, 12:42 pm

Hurry up then, the world is waiting....

Good but Hobo pm'd me to say I'd won already. He liked my free hand effort. Yours is just a cut and paste.
