Promo pic.

We'd been meaning to get one done for ages but have had to get one done for a big festival we are doing in August and seeing as we are a Clash tribute band I thought recreating a well known piccy of The Clash would be the way to go.

The original

Our version

Took a bit of work but I think we did ok :D

Nice! You should make "RADIO" into "Radio" to match the headline more (I'm a picky graphic designer) ;)

We started off with that but there are a few reasons why it wasn't going to work. To be honest I think pretty much anything you can fiddle with has been fiddled with in that picture. I'm an artist and got all OCD with it, I'd hate to see how many drafts of it I've got saved all over my mac :D

Looks awesome! Are the fags photoshopped?

Thank you! :D Oddly they have been the cause of a few comments. They were both real and smoked after we'd finished.

Well done! For some reason the one in the hand looks a little funny. Maybe it's the hand and not the fag. Either way..... I really like the promo shot. Nicely done.

Non-smokers often hold a tab a bit oddly, maybe that's it. Thanks though :D
