Vehicle Graphics – Various
Posted by Jim McManus on 6 February 2007 at 01:01Hello Guys,
Now that I’ve finally included an avatar, I thought I would push the boat out and include some of the things I have been up to recently. Nothing too exciting, but it all helps when you are getting started. Comments welcome, but please be gentle!Jim McManus replied 18 years, 11 months ago 15 Members · 16 Replies -

Not a bad start at all, Jim.
Couple of minor crits,
1/ it may be down to personal pref, but I usually line the text up on the lower panel of Astras, with the rest off off the writing. They are a sob to get looking right though.
2/ on the Morris Walker van, the text on the rear door could have been raised a Little, reduced in size a bit and then the phone number could have been under it. better to see from following vehicles, and dosnt get as dirty.Just my 2ps worth
Thanks for showing
Peter

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Dave, yes the window photo should have been rotated and I am definitely going to sign UK, flights already booked.
Peter, thanks for the comments, advice duly noted.The imp belongs to a friend who’s just opened his own garage so I’ve just finished doing all his signage for that too.

A Hillman Imp!
I thought they’d all long gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.
I had my very first road accident in a Singer Chamois (the upmarket model). My old man was not impressed! 😀

All looks well…
One crit, which is a personal pet peeve:
Try to avoid using "tel" before the phone number.
It’s really not needed 99% of the time.
Love….Jill -
Good job Jim.
As long as the customer is happy, that’s the main criteria these days.
Thanks for sharing

Nice set of jobs – and like Shane. If the customer is happy….and pays!!
Few minor (personal) tweaks I would’ve done. And I realise that very often the customer specifies what you can & cannot do – frustrating as it is.
P&C – the ‘ltd’ looks a wee bit lost on it’s own line
The Brig – the phone number section is narrower than the lower bit and doesn’t ‘fit’ with the whole image.
Direct – The ‘connections to the future’ looks a bit too far back, maybe splitting mid-word for a better balance.
Morris – the side description – maybe an extended font or a wee stretch to ‘pad it out’.
Personally, I’m not keen on using matt vinyls on vehicles but the anthracite vinyl is great huh! I almost use it as a black substitute.The Imp – great, always fun to work on unusual cars. Had a (ford) Mustang Cobra in yesterday…nice rumbly V8…mmmm.
Alba – great to get ‘fleet’ work. Same money for less work… :lol1:
re: Jill & her ‘tel’ – kinda agree, I somrtimes push customers away from it if it will look better without it, and sometimes substite a phone symbol " ( " in Wingdings as a compromise.
Good to see it coming together for you.

Some nice work there and some helpful comments too.
Astra vans are always a pain in the (insert swear word here) as there are no decent lines to work from. And lots of my customers seem to drive them!!!

Good work Jim. As has already been said Astra’s are notoriously difficult to get the levels looking right but you seem to have managed it – well done 😀
