    And another-customer wanted it BIG!

    Unfortunately he told me he had a LWB luton, and it turned out to be SWB-so it’s even more cramped than it should have been.

    Not one of my finest jobs, I have to say!

    if he is happy Lorraine, you can’t ask for more than that 😛

    it does look good too, nothing to be ashamed of imo 🙂

    Hey it’s cramped, but it’s still colorful, bright, and clean-looking.
    I especially like your little symbols for the numbers.
    Love…..Jill
    PS
    Gosh, that must have been a bear to stick!

    I pinched the ideas off his other advertising, his A5 flyers are similar, as is his website, and I do like to continue an image so that it becomes recognisable.

    Only problem is he is struggling to get the business up & running, so still owes me a wedge of cash (although I ahve covered costs with a large deposit, cos I was giving him time to pay)

    Ah well. I do like it really, but thought it may be a bit OTT for professionals like yourselves! 🙂

    Well done Lorraine!

    Hope you used scaffold to reach the top!!!!!!!!

    More importantly make sure you get the money in sooner rather than
    later. No sob stories about struggling to get the business off the ground
    to avoid paying.

    Yeh I like that. It’s a wee bit odd up around the phone numbers but the rest is very ‘whatsitsay’. The colours are good ‘cos refuse collection is horrible aand dirty and you’ve made it bright and cheery and very very IKEA :lol1:
    You’re customer should be happy and so should you. You may just have persuaded some fluffing civilian to be responsible in their refuse management for once.
    Sorry gotta go, nurseys here with my pill.
    Seeya.

    hi lorraine, as has been said, bit cramped but what the hell… its the customers fault re: sizes etc youve created him a mobile billboard, by the looks of it. as long as he pays. dont worry about it, its easy read, clean enough and does the job. 😀

    thanks for taking the time to post your work 😉

    Thanks for all your kind replies everyone, made me feel quite warm!

    martin, ref: scaffolding – we had a board, but no scaffolding!

    Nik, I did have help, the backside you can see is Geoffs! Fortunately there’s no photo of me applying the front! HSE would have had a fit 😮
