Hi guys, I'm looking for some help with a graphic design job. Here's the backstory:
My workplace is taking part in a national campaign to raise funds for cancer charities. It's called "Shave or Dye" and it involves the shaving or dyeing of hair in order to raise money. The campaign was started by a national radio station over here in Ireland, called Today FM ( http://www.todayfm.com/shaveordye2014 ).
As St Patrick's day is coming up soon, they want to enter a BTTF themed float in the local parade to raise awareness.
The plan is to put my Delorean on a flatbed lorry, have people dressed as the Doc and Marty, and also everyone else with their dyed hair in 80's / historical clothing.They'll have songs like 'The power of love' and 'Johnny B Goode' playing over speakers, etc.
There will be banners saying “Join the fight... for a cancer free future" (see what they did there?) hanging either side of the lorry. I want to have the banners in the BTTF font. We're also planning of printing a screengrab of the clock tower to hang up behind the car, a smoke machine, etc.
We're trying to keep costs to a minimum if possible as it's for charity, so I hate to ask, is anyone proficient with with Photoshop and Illustrator willing to donate a couple of hours of their time?
It's fairly straightforward, just the above phrase, coloured in with the red/yellow gradient like the film poster, set against a dark background. I have a good font that I want to use, I just don't have the graphic design skills :-/ It would need to be in a format that can be scaled up for printing.
This is a good tutorial I was hoping to follow but I don't have the programs needed:

and this is a quick and crap mockup of what I need, colour isn't right:

If anyone would be willing to help out, please let me know! It's for a great cause!
Thanks in advance.
