  • Vehicle art needed. Where to buy?

    Posted by Stickerland on April 27, 2005 at 8:07 am

    Hi all,

    I’ve got some great graphic cd’s over here to create stunning vehicle sidegraphics.
    But now I need one special collection and I really don’t know where to buy it.
    There has to be a cd-collection of it, because I see the same graphics offered on several websites. (cut and ready to apply, but I need the vectorart ofcourse).

    Does anyone out here know where I can buy the collection where the image below is part of?

    Stickerland, do you mind me asking where you bought your other vehicle graphics CDs, also do you know where I could find one for Japanese symbols/writing?

    I’ll keep an eye out for the one you described above and let you know if I see one. I know grafityp have a new out they were advertising at signuk. http://www.grafityp.co.uk

    my biggest gripe with the vehicle cds on ebay is which ones are which! I guess there are a few CDs made by people in the UK but you cant really tell what ur bidding on.

    That’s true

    For me it was a big gamble every time I’ve decided to buy one. Therefore I’ve never spend more than $20 per order. I’ve did this 7 times or so, and I think I’ve got all the designs for now. Maybe in a few months, I buy a cd again.

    I think you will find 99% of the graphics cd’s sold to signmakers on ebay are copies of other peoples stuff 👿

    Yeah, I know they are copies. I have training CD’s ripped off other peoples CD’s. Shame really but there is nothing wrong with an individual selling their CD… umm. or should I say re-selling their license to own that CD (hot)

    Its one of those subjects again, run for the hills!!!! The hills I tell you, the hills !!!!!!!!!! :lol1:

    Seriously though, alot of the CDs sold on Ebay are regurgatated cack that has been around for years. There are a few up and coming graphic artists at the moment that are producing vector artwork for the web, mainly for Flash applications, so it can’t be too long before some of these artists realise the potential of producing CDs for the sign and graphics industry.

    If they don’t, maybe we should steam over to their sites and give them a prod! 😀 I’m not inciting physical prodding here btw, just a gentle email prod, the friendly kind thats unoffensive and purely persuasive! :lol1:

    Cheers, Dewi

    Yes maybe for alot of things but not vehicle oultlines and of logos. Someone has spent time and effort producing these cd’s and that’s how they make a living. How is it right for them to be resold as a copy?

    I think its fine.. if as said, you are selling the original disk, and manual but not a so called backup copy.
    I bought one years ago, which i thought was an original, the description and photo suggested that, turned out to be a pile of shite copy, i e-mailed e-bay but they did nowt as usual.
    I saw on there the other week, a guy selling photo ipods, people were paying £100s; turns out, you were bidding on a photo of an ipod, that place is a mind field, and I’m not keen on it too much.

    Hi Stickerland
    I’d be really interested to know which cd’s you found the most usefull,
    As I’m about to start lettering vans and small menu boards,
    Also which cd’s to steer clear of
    And which cd’s would you be lost without,

    Not sure about the Vehicle Art CDs etc cos i dont do much work like that but get yourself a Vehicle Outlines CD, there are many types available.

    Believe me, after your purchase one you’ll be wondering how you ever mangaed without one. 1000s of vehicles all drawn to scale.
