Morning all,

can anyone assist me with this problem: i have a logo for a clothing brand i'm designing an advertisement for at the moment, and i want to make the logo appear as if it's a bumper sticker that has been stuck to the floor. i have the perspective right, but it just doesn't look at all sticker-ish. all the tutorials on the net deal with web 2.0 style stickers or other annoying such things, it just doesnt fit something that is stuck to a floor. i figure it needs to have some air bubbles and maybe some frayed edges from being scuffed by people walking on it, but i'm at a loss figuring out how to acheive this and time is running out.

any input on this problem would be most welcome.

Thank you,
Du`

is it possible for you to post an image of what it looks like to give everyone a better idea of what you're trying to pull off?

i don't have any of the stuff at the moment as i'm at work, but i did a google for some examples, i can't seem to find any examples of the air bubbles i mentioned, but these do show off what imean in terms of the sticker being worn. basically what i'm trying to do is make it look as though someone has stuck a sticker of the logo onto a wooden floor.

like this one:

although i want it to show some age, like this rather sad looking bumper sticker:

here is a good tutorial for that...

just do something like this before you place the image down as far as air bubbles would be concerned see attached image...i'd stick with the bevel/emboss technique, lighting effects will alter the luminosity of the image...
