Hi,

Does ANYONE remember the box art of GI JOE and Transformer toys? Maybe HOTWHEELS…

Anyway what I’m getting at is I want to re-create that same glossy style (used in movie posters as well, I think) for the introduction page of my portfolio website. My vision is a perspective view of a futuristic train speeding towards the viewer (this will not be animated) on a bridge adjacent to the San Francisco Bay Bridge. In the background are buildings that represent a futuristic San Francisco. I haven’t comped it out yet.

The programs I have are Macromedia Flash, and Adobe Photoshop.

Thanks
