Gallery: Cake Architect Citreon Van Wrap

that looks really nice, i love it!

I really like the continuation of the sprinkles all the way around the van.
I do not do wraps but it is where I want to be this time next year.
I don’t intend to do the installations though I want to get someone local to me for that side of things.

Van looks great Tim, nice one mate!
I think your customer should be happy with that because I think your wrap does more for promoting the business than their logo does. I get the idea of it but is a bit over-complicated and doesn’t sell what they do. but your wrap makes that much easier and catches your attention. thanks for sharing! 👍

everyone loves sprinkles on top! 😃 I like that.

Where do you find your artwork for this type of thing Tim. does the customer provide it or do you find it online or something else? I find i can spend so much time finding something nice only for them to say “but i would like a green background and not the blue!” 😏 because the artwork is a jpg file and flat, so we cant do very much as way of editing whatever they doing like.

Thanks Guys

Rob, I couldn’t agree more. I would have liked to design the logo too. Never mind. I also had to thinken it all up considerably so that it could be cut from black vinyl.

Karen – always a problem I agree. In this case I could not fine sprinkles on line that would be high enough resolution when printed at the size needed for the sides of a van. In the end I obtained a bag of the actual sprinkles that the customer uses. Then I arranged them in the right sort of configuration on our A4 scanner. Scanned them in at the highest possible resolution with a black card on top. Brought the results into photoshop and cut out the black background. Then applied them to the blue icing. Saved the result out as Tiff files. I love tiff as it doesn’t compress. When brought up in versaworks to the actual required print size they still remained at around 100dpi. I was very lucky with this customer. He gave me free rein, but I do sympathise.

Leslie, have a go. Not easy but it is definitely getting easier with today’s media. Get on a course. There’s some great ones run by most of the vinyl manufacturers, well worth it.

Just don’t put a scalpel in your back pocket without closing it! Eh Rob? 😜
