Default Need Help With New Paint Scheme

I'm planning on getting my bike repainted this winter so that my tank and front fender will finally match both my street plastics and my track plastics since they serve double duty. I have a fairly good idea of the type of scheme I want to go with, BUT I'm not any good with photoshop and I'm just not as creative as I need to be, ha! So while I have the general idea of what I'm looking for, I'm really needing someone to help me come up with a digital rendering of it so that I can show the girl who is going to paint it for me what I'm wanting, and I also need someone to help me go from a general idea to a paint ready scheme, lol. Really any help anyone can offer me would be MUCH appreciated!!!

Do you have a couple of good profile pics you could post as a starting point?

These are the best I have right now. I can get some better ones from all the different angles if it'd help. The scheme on the street plastics shouldn't be too difficult, and I may not even need to mock it up for my painter as I'm pretty much wanting to go with the standard GSX-R paint scheme for their white 08 bike. I know it will look slightly different on mine, since mine is an older body style, but I don't want anything too flashy for the street and those are the colors I'm going with for my track plastics.

I don't have PS or any of that business... but here's a slightly-related post anyhow.

I'm also getting part of my bike painted over the winter! Getting my dented tank pulled and repainted in gloss black, then also getting the lowers painted gloss black to match the tank (instead of that stupid matte gray-ish colour they are stock).

I need to get around to painting my tank black still.



And touch up a few rock chips.
