Well done for your 2nd job done, couple of const crits tho, on the rear doors it looks better if you have a liitle space around wording, so I would have not done the website so big and wouldnt have allowed the descenders of the lettering to drop so low. Wording sometimes needs a little space to be able to breathe. Same applies to the tel no on the rear. I do like the paw splats on the bonnet 😀

Well Done, I totally agree with Jayne though, all letters need space in order that they can be read, ask the customer ‘how far away does this sign need to be read from’ and take it from there. There is an unwritten optimum size for lettering on any given panel, getting it right seperates the newbies from the experienced. Striking first attempt though.

Offside rear door…..
Every other word is capitalised so the “pet’s” should have a capital P, but no apostrophe. The “Onboard” should be two words.
I don’t want you to take this the wrong way because I am only trying to help and want to be constructive, but in my book good layout comes a poor second to getting the English right.
That’s not to say I haven’t got it wrong now and again. 😳

Good point mate I never even noticed the rear door.
Its always good to get feedback as its the only way to learn.
However considering three months ago I couldn’t have told you what a node was let alone a cast vinyl I hope I am on the up side of the learning curve!
Oh yeah by the way John capitalized has a Z in it .lol. 😉
Cheers All

I’m glad you take my comments as they were intended George.
We are all still learning no matter how long we have been in this game. As my dad says, “every day is a day at school”, and he’s eighty two!

I think that when you are new at something you get a bit excited and involved with the whole creation thing that you tend to miss the smaller yet important details. (!)
That’s my excuse anyway 😉

other comments very valid generaly i like it a lot better colours than your own van. i think that we all take a little something from other sign peoples comments so we all learn a bit more. thanks for showing

The side/front looks fine but the back layout is weak.
And there are no apostrophes in Pets or Folks.
(That is one of my PET peeves)
The cartoons, while cute, could have been in two colors for more impact.
Their outlines are very thin comapred to the text balloon’s outline.
All in all the van is fine for your second job, but next time be more careful about punctuation.
Love….Jill -

Hi George I like both your vans for starters, they are good and I really like your enthusiasm I can remember my fisrt sign job it gives you an amazing rush, you keep looking and saying to your self “I did that” then you try to refrain from jumping up and down. If you take on board what most have said to you you will do well, can’t really add to the crit’s it is mostly what I think thanks for being beave enough to post them. 😀
sorry for beave read brave 😳
