Nice work Phil. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Nice neat work.
I hate some of the wraps I see here, so busy and filled with clashing styles and effects.
Looks like you are good at other things beside just minis.
Love….Jill

[Harry Cleary]

I can see Professor McIntosh drolling 😀

[Vic Adair]

Cheers John

[Andy Gorman]

Nice stuff, all of it. Thanks for showing.

[Phil Craddock]

thanks one and all.

my background is almost 30 years in graphic design, exhibition and marketing working for a lot of high street brands – but now doing vehicle livery design and implementation full time.

I obviously specialise in the MINI brand and do work for a few MINI/BMW dealers but want more commercial work. Also do a few race teams too and worked with Benetton F1 a few years back 🙂

There great.

Dunlop mini challenge is my favourite.

[Phil Craddock]

I was the MINI Challenge main championship supplier for the 2007 series – 40 car grid and did every one !!!

one of the main responsibilities was being at each round of the championship in the paddock sorting out any graphical damage the cars had – which was a lot – and got to see all the racing from the pit lane too !!

I try to be as original I as can in my design work and now have it copied all over the world even by BMW whom I do work for through the MINI dealer network !

[Shane Drew]

great stuff Phil. Love your concepts. One talented dude…..

[Phil Craddock]

thanks Shane – I have almost 30 years in the design business but doing vehicles full time for the past 4 or 5 years and loving every minute – well apart from trying to run a business in these hard times !!!

Also we seem to be experimenting with different vinyl and suppliers at the moment mostly down to costs and such like.

We had the chaps from APA come and visit last week and have some lovely stuff to work with so looking forward to more experimenting.

here is our latest creation …..

a helipad on the roof 😮

[Phil Craddock]

its a BMW/MINI standard graphic – we are cheaper than a BMW dealership to supply and fit – although I also do them for MINI dealerships !!!

every MINI is different 🙂

[Neil Davey]

You really do some great work Phil.

Very inspirational, you are a talented man.

Refreshing to see such an array of well designed and well executed work.

Thanks for posting and look forward seeing more.

Neil

[Nicola McIntosh]

Hi phil, some really nice work there mate, wouldnt mind getting into doing some mini’s as all the guys in the office are in to cars, currently doing alot of work for Lotus, but nothing that gives us as much freedom on design as you. perhaps i need to go knocking on the door of the local mini dealership.

🙂

[Phil Craddock]

dealerships are tough nuts to crack – I’m still working on them !!!

[BenRead]

yeah there is always the problem of the cousin with a sign company.. haha

[Phil Craddock]

they do tend to go to a ‘local sign shop’ but I do work for a main dealer in London and its a 3 hour trek each way for me to travel to but they prefer to use me for my skill and knowledge of their brand and customers requirements – which is nice !

[Simon Polakof]

I like your work!
Looks clean and nice!
Keep up the good work.

[Phil Craddock]

many thanks Simon.
