    hi all, just finished this today.

    this is the first print we have done on our new versacamm for a vehicle.

    It was a bit of a challenge and could have gone horribly wrong and cost us more than we could have charged, but all turned out great.

    CUSTOMER LOVED IT!!!!

    so much so that he now wants another 2 or 3 doing.

    Well done mate.

    I am sure you’d agree that there is a certain satisfaction looking at the finished result, that the stress you experienced doing it, seems worthwhile eh.

    Cheers

    nice work mate, always good to get the first one by without any glitches, fills you with confidence to do more… many more 😉

    constructive crit: same as nik says on fonts.. another would be that i would have probably contour cut the bottles or maybe even left a .75 inch halo of white around them all…

    anyway, thank for taking the timke to post your work mate, look forward to seeing of of it 😉

    Looks good mate.

    I would agree with Rob though a contour cut with a slight white halo would of finished it off nicely also reducing the large bottles a little so they did not go behind the text.

    Good all the same though.

    Good job… and great work getting another 3 vans to do.
    I agree with most of the other coments, the only thing i don’t like is the letters/numbers being over the door openings.. when they could have been resized, or put slightly off centre.. (just one of my pet hates.)

    Nice work! 😀 If the customer is chuffed with it, thats the main thing and as Simon has said, another 3 is great news! 😀

    Cheers, Dewi

    cheers to all, some very interesting comments, although the customer made most of the design decisions.

    many more to follow, i’m sure

    Crikey, thats a phone number and a half!
    Even our mobile phone numbers aren’t that long.
    How do you get on remembering your own no’s?? 😮

    Neil I thought the same!

    I have a hard time remembering my home number and that is only 8 digits, these numbers look like the ones under a police photo don’t they?

    …and no I don’t have experince with a police line up…. yet 😕

    well the first 5 digits are the area code, so if you’re phoning within a local area you don’t have to use them. and you can always easily find an area code . so you only have to remember six numbers
