layout help please with this car design?
Hi Guys & Gals
My wife has recently bought in to a franchise for a magazine and so obviously I have been drafted in to supply her vehicle graphics and ofcourse at no charge (damn woman 😉 )
As some of you might know with franchises they are very fussy with deviating from corporate identity, so what I have done is made up the logo (ABC Magazine Hampshire) as it needs to be as well as the (The local information magazine for parents in Hampshire) must stay as they are 😥 (bold and uppercase letters are part of the corporate design 😕 )
Is there anything that you think can be done to improve on the layout of this. I know you don’t have much room to move but any tweaks that might help will be great.
Obviously the "launching 1st November" will eventually be taken off.
Thanks to one and all.
Cheers
Warren

Warren I can see you don’t have a lot of room to move things about but the Telephone number that low down is going to get very dirty and difficult if not impossible to read very quickly. Plus be careful with the green on the window because if it is two dark a green it will be almost impossible to read unless you tint the back windows.

Hi Martin
2 good points thanks.
In regards to the green on the window, I always find that when mocking up a layout on a picture like I have done here it always looks like it will be difficult to read, then when it’s on it stands out very well. I don’t know however what the green will look like, I just wanted to use a colour that would be more noticeable and thought that because it is a bright green it might catch the eye more.
What colour to you think would stand out more or should I put a big fat border around it (it has a white one already about 10mm)
I can change it after it’s done to another colour as like I said it’s only for my wife (who will probably be worse than a paying customer :lol1: )
Thanks again
Warren

The rear wing wording is far too big, big is not always beautiful, and why use caps on all the words??? it looks ugly and amateurish. Try and make the ABC bounce a bit by not putting them in a straight line.

Hi Mike
As mentioned in first post I cannot change the ABC logo and layout or the text with the caps and bold letters, this is part of the franchise identity and is used across all 8 counties the magazine is in.
It is a magazine for pregnant woman to 11 year old children’s parents.
because of these horrible designs I asked here if anybody could suggest a better layout only as the design elements can’t change.
thanks for posting anyways
