van design help

[David Hammond]

For some reason the full size image comes up negative, so can’t really see what I am looking at.

[Chris Windebank]

Thanks for looking David, appears OK when I open it. Can email if you like but a large file too big for here

[Jill Marie Welsh]

It really lacks cohesiveness. The images are all over the place.
Perhaps if you put some sort of frame around each picture, then did the old overlap thing like splayed playing cards?
The graphics on the one side are difficult to read when distorted as they are, maybe making those a bit smaller would help.
And the one where the guy is pointing at the (whiteboard?) he could be pointing at the company name. Because even though the images are flashy, etc, it’s still really hard to pinpoint in 5 seconds just what it is that they do.
And maybe you should say that to the customer.
Too many images make for a really jumbled clusterf*ck of a layout.
You know it, I know it, and he needs to know it too.
😉
Love….Jill

Yeah if you can e-mail it over I’ll take a look.

Seems very quiet over here today… and last week so I’ve reviewed my prices, made some price lists, ordered some leaflets…. kind of at loose end for the time been.

event hire businesses are always hard Chris. They do so many things and they want them all featured from experience. I’d concentrate on a single image on either side. Each side can be different, but we all know if it is too busy, no one will look at it anyway.

Not much help I know, sorry

[Chris Windebank]

It is a help Shane, been trying to say this to him thats why I thought icons might be the way to go

[David Hammond]

Ah ha. Got it to view the file on my PC. Mac mustn’t be liking the file.

Agree with the images been too much, and it doesn’t really say what they do.

I like the black and white version, but maybe too much text. It’s clear to see they do Dj’ing but not really advertise their other services clearly.

Maybe a generic title "Joe Bloggs Event Hire" or something similar, public will get the idea what they do, then expand on this elsewhere?

[John Harding]

A quick one from me

thanks all, nice layout John. All comments taken on board, will post design after he has gone later today

Thanks again

[Chris Windebank]

well I took Shanes advice. Client went for one theme and had text added.
Obviously not quite finished but design is almost there

I’d use a font like Impact and stack the services (white with a thin black outline) right justified.
I think they are real hard to read, and the staggering makes it even trickier.
I don’t think you need those icons, if anything just a black dot. Keep it simple darlin.

[Chris Windebank]

Thanks hun
