    Photoshop help required for wheelchair user poster, please!
    Hi,

    I am carrying out research into Wheelchair users in the Wicklow region.
    I have almost completed my research and will be presenting it to many people in a month from now.
    I am looking to have a strong graphic on my poster which fuses the map image of Wicklow inside the wheel of a wheelchair... this will immediately inform the reader that the research poster is about wheelchair users in Wicklow..

    however, I am seeking help doing this... i have identified two images from the internet one of a wheelchair http://www.google.ie/imgres?q=icon+p...SyZ2TBw&zoom=1

    and the other of Wicklow to go inside the wheel of the chair... this: http://www.irelandwide.com/regional/...icklow_map.GIF

    this: http://www.igp-web.com/Wickow/images/wicklow_map.gif

    or

    this: http://www.gainfeeds.com/ruminant/im...on_wicklow.gif

    the Wicklow map needs to have Arklow, Bray, Greystones and Wicklow Town on it and say Co. Wicklow on it...

    the poster will be 56" x 36" and the image will be about 1/5 of this size.

    the images i provided might be too sh*t quality?

    i'd really appreciate some help....its for a good cause.. maybe we can have a competition?

    thank you.

    Just because an image is on the internet doesn't mean you can use it, you're going to have to get permission for each of the images you've linked (even though for me three of your links were dead.)

    Although I can't help with the production of the poster, you should list how the person who helps you will get repaid in some way for the work. not money, but them being allowed to display their contact details on the poster or something like that. Good luck with your endeavour

    Hi Piriz

    I am a freelance graphic designer and dont mind giving some advice on this.

    Firstly frozen is right about just taking images off the internet I wouldnt recommend this especially if the poster will be printed in large quantities and displayed everywhere you could get into trouble with copyright.

    There are websites where you can buy great images like depositphotos, istockphoto & shutterstock.

    There are also other websites where you can get designers to work in a competitive form to design your poster such as 99designs

    Graphicriver has a selection of design work that you can download. There might be something suitable there be careful though these files are done in photoshop and you would need to be able to edit them to a certain extent.

    I hope this was of some help to you.
