    Here is our first attempt at printing a banner.

    It was designed by an ad agency who we are now doing work for and printed on our Rockhopper 1. It measures 10 metres in length and is 1.37 high.

    The customer wants to take it down every night, I wonder how long that will last!!

    excellent Dave.

    did you clear coat it as well?

    It would be a bummer to put out each day tho. prime vandalism site tho i guess.

    Should last a while as long as you stressed on him to roll it around a core each time, and not fold it like most people are inclined to do.

    Thanks for posting the pic mate. well done.

    I suppose as far as a printed banner is made, you’ve done well!
    I would tell the designers that the car would have looked better facing the text.
    Whether that would have been achieved by just flipping the car, or exchanging it with the orange text box would be up to them.
    These darn designers know everything tho.
    Shane is right about telling the client to roll not fold.
    Love….Jill

    Nice job mate, well done…
    As you say it’s the ad agency that’s designed i don’t think there is much you could do as way of altering it. If you could have, & as way of “constructive crit” ide say same as Jill, flip or switch the car and the panel. The text in the panel is a bit big and looks typed in rather than designed for that space. Gives it a crammed look. ide have made the web address smaller & maybe red or black to break the blue as it begins to look like one line of text with the number right after.
    Is there a reason for the empty space at the bottom?

    Like i said, this is not your problem, if this is how the ad company has asked for it mate, we can only do so much, customer is always right as the saying goes.

    Thanks for taking the time to post your work.
