    here is the latest
    done this with the help of my mate
    the design was given to us as design in photoshop and she didnt want it altered (she is an interior designer) this is the end result let me know your thoughts dont be too harsh as she is over the moon
    we now have another two cars to do
    we charged approx £500 for the van your thoughts on that as well
    hope the pics look ok

    Looks fine Dex, How much Vinyl did you use? A monkey seems a bit steep from first impressions, especially if the artwork was supplied,
    But OK if you can get away with it.

    hi all the artwork sorry the e mail with a print so we had do it all again in a.i the van came late Friday we were told it was white but it was all vinyl the van had been repaired both sides after a minor prang so all vinyl to be removed so a fair bit of work to start with haven’t worked out vinyl costs as we anticipated the other two vehicles the front is also done and had to cllect and deliver over 20 miles so ithink a fair price at a munky
    some bits i am not happy with which need put right the customer didnt notice but i would rather tell them than someone else
    thanks for the comments

    Some of the layout doesn’t quite work, but who cares if you got £500 for it:)

    If i was really trying to pull the design to pieces i think the only bit i would change is to continue the blue text into the cut out in the orange instead of using the van paintwork as white.
    It doesn’t quite work as blue & white text.

    Hey if she liked it, and paid for it, you came out OK.
    It is bright and eye-catching…but…
    I personally think it is busier than a cat trying to cover crap on a marble floor… 😉
    but considering she’s an interior designer, that explains it.
    The one part of the design that really bugs me is TELEPHONE spelled out.
    Usually, unless someone is completely daft, when ya see a string of numbers like that, it’s a phone number. I never put “Call” or “Phone” etc. on anything, it’s a personal pet peeve of mine.
    Sorry for being so cranky, I don’t mean to seem rude.
    Love….Jill

    i care…the ‘interior designer should stick to what she knows best’ designing vans is not her forte… 😕 the telephone number is too big it over powers the design, GPH should be the first thing you see. the gas plumbing & heating is not very pleasing to the eye..would be better in one whole line, there is a few more things i could cons. crits on but in all honesty the van is just too busy, and layout not properly done.. 😕 sorry dex for sounding a bit harsh..but i cannot help what i see 😉

    Interior designers 🙄

    😉

    I met a “life coach” a few weeks ago 😕 (they must be lower down the food chain than interior designers surely?)

    You got that right Phil!
    I wish I could get paid to do that.
    But I’d be real mean and say “You’re a loser!” 👿 hahahhaa
    Some people huh.
    Love….Jill
