    soon as i decide on what vinyl to use from what ever advice i receive i am going to attempt my first wrap…

    the machine im using is a rockhopper38 so any advise on media would be greatly received but i am limited to media widths of 38″

    also any comments on the design constructive or not would be appreciated

    thanks dave…

    pretty smart idea… Not sure on Banners and “Temp” Signage, not very snazzy that and not sure on the email address on the side, infact I am not sure if all that wording is necessary?! Looking at the back half of the van, it impacts you with what it is.

    Have a think about doing the clouds seperatly to the wording, a wrap for the clouds and standard vinyl white, red and black for the words. Might be easier, I let the pro’s here comment as they are better at this then me.

    its nice mate… well done. the clouds are pretty irrelevant to signs, but you do need a background image so why not? i see many sign firms put things that “are” not connected or just throw you from what they are trying to promote… “signs”

    i prefer part wraps to full… but agree to promote wraps then its a good idea to have it. “I’m doing same on our vans”
    as way of constructive criticism. every bit of text other than the logo needs dropped in size. lots of it is also stretched vertically.
    ide scale it all down at least to 80% and redo the stretched bits.

    ide guess get media that has profiles for your machine. guess is that grafityps grafiwrap maybe the one to go for as i am sure they also sell those machines, so would make sense in the vinyl having that profile.
    i think you can download the profiles from their site.
    good thing about grafiwrap is that it comes with its own lamination vinyl as part of the package.

    I agree with Rob about text

    would maybe keep the text simple and not distorted

    Cheers
