My picky self

Every time i see this ad. I want to cry



There's one thing wrong with it that makes me want to cry a little every time, the way the bass as been cut. The cut is really choppy and doesn't do justice to the bass at all.

But I like to play around with photoshop, so I've made a example of a decent cut. (I'm no pro)



So just saying, I'd be really happy to cut the bass you want me to cut and "fix" that ad.

Just take note that I haven't tweaked the perspectives to make the bass look like the front is closer then the headstock. That could easily be done.

I know I'm just being picky

there's also the "When it's all about the groove" ad that needs to be fixed because the black from the picture is not the same as the black from the ad. itself

Yeah, don't like that ad either.



Why is it not a 4-string?

Why is it a fretted?

I want to shred, not groove.

Why is the bass not purple?

I prefer the cut of a Century.

I also like the cut of my own jib.

Ah,

I honestly thought you meant you prefered the cutaway from an SKB instead of a Century.


I know nothing about graphic design, photoshopping... or most terms concerning that field of expertise.


I'll get my coat and leave this thread.

Ahh, anyways, my point is that the one currently advertised as problems, look at the neck all the square cuts, parts missing, the tuning pegs that aren't there, the lil beige pixel out of no-where. Here's some of the problematics areas:

You know ......I can't say that I ever really noticed that. Maybe you should just zoom out a bit!

Who is this Ziltoid Beotch that is trying to critique my work. Come on down to NC and let me show you what a Southern A$$ Whipin is all about!







Lol, I am just messing with you Ziltoid. I am not a graphic designer so I took bass pics that dealers had on their website and tried to cut them out. Unfortunately they get dark around the tuners and it is hard to capture them correctly. If you want to cut some basses out and send them to me I would be glad to work on some more banner ads.

No offense intended here, but...

I've just said the words, "Ziltoid Beotch," out loud, three times in a row. I have decided that this will be the name of my first album. These two words go together like, oh, "Roscoe" and "Sweetness."
