Here is a design that I am doing for a billboard (sort of):
Posted Image

I work with a company that is trying to sell space on the side of its roll-off containers (dumpsters). He wants the bullet to look like it is moving fast. Anyone have any ideas. I have painted the background a bit, but I think it needs something more.

Bullet is a Swift3D Render.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd try playing with the "motion blur"-thingy in photoshop, that might add a bit more realism.

Add some motion lines at the end of the bullet. Pull the edges of the text a bit to make it look like they are being blown by the wind.

yeah not sure if your program has the same render effect as cinema4d but you can render a motion blur or simply add it in photo shop or paint shop afterwords, I would lose the sky background or at the very least change the color, the truck is skewed and i think ditracts from the overall piece

Thank you for all the suggestions. The biggest problem was having was not enough vertical room to put everything in. I revised it and moved some things to the side. I messed with some motion blur and a little "liquify" for the back. I also straightened the truck a bit. What do you think? Better?

Thanks again.

...better, the front looks like its actually motion blurring, but the back looks like you took a smudge brush and went to town, 10 times better than the first one, but if i were you i would try getting a different truck and fixing the back of the bullet

Agree with Dirk Black - fix the back and it will be a lot better. It just looks like some random smudge-tool work.
