Oy you spelled my name wrong :lol1:

Looks good, did you use the chisel effect in signlabs to do the Morris Decorators, it looks like it’s printed as well.

Hi Steve,
Yes the chisel was done in signlab but all done in cut vinyl.
The phone number is burgandy on black but does not show up on here.

I’ve had a play with the chisel effect but never got to grips with it, maybe I should give it another go as the effect is very good.

Did you use 1 shade for the darker reds or 2 shades?

Hi Steve,
I used Burgandy and dark red on a black background and on the decorator I used 2 shades of yellow on black.

Is it just my eyes or does one line have a different light source than the other on the 3-D letters?
I would have liked to see a secondary yellow or white outline around the red copy, then a bolder black outline around both the red and yellow lettering.
As long as the customer was pleased and you got paid, that’s the main thing!
Love….Jill

excellent, nice and clean

its amazing what you can do with a few layers of cut vinyl, some imagination and a bit of thought behind it you can pretty much lay up anything.

only crit is the telephone number, i would have used helvetica extended or opened the kerning up a tad more, looks a wee bit stretched.

Great looking van tho’

Well done Ian. Not much more to be said really, all the other comments are pretty well covered.

I like the van being simple too. Much better than telling a life story 😛
