what do you think of this shop facia layout?

Here’s a detail of the Chameleon which will probably give you a better idea of what I’m upto.

Btw the window graphic comprises of 7 different colours of vinyl.

Your design and layout look great – the close up of the chameleon shows that you haven’t scrimped on the detail – I can’t help thinking the shop front needs some attention though but I guess that’s not your concern.

I would have made a paper pattern, stuck it to the outside, and painted the window on the inside like Terry does.
It would be much cheaper to produce, but more difficult if you are not a painter.
I do like the design, but I think that I would make the lettering plain white so that it stood out more.
When I do a window splash, it is a minimum $100 window & up. When I do vynull on a window I add an installation fee, because it takes me longer to stick the damn thing on than to plot it or weed it.
I would also cut out stars as registration marks on each color of vynull, and line them all up when I was applying each layer.
Love…Jill

Glad you like it guys, any thoughts on what you’d charge?

Jill, I have seriously considered painting it just as you suggest, but I’ve dillied to
long over getting some paints and practicing. Also the guy now has creatures in
and I wasn’t to sure how bad the fumes are from 1 Shot paints and if this would affect
them?
God can you imagine how popular killing his stock would make me lol. I think it would
certainly get my name known around town pdq 😛 😕 🙁

I like your suggestion re the text, makes a lot of sense now you mention it and I certainly
will be using registration marks, even with them I’m still feeling apprehensive
tackling this one.
But then as Del boy would say…”He who dares Rodney, he who dares!” 😉

We need a dead critter emoticon!
I forgot about the fumes.
I can no longer smell them,
but I’m sure exotic animals would go belly-up from them.
I usually use RichArt window paint, but that’s just for splashes.
(on the outside)
You would have to use a stronger paint for a permanent display.
You’ll do just fine.
Glad ya liked the text suggestion.
Love…Jill

What i find sometimes with reg marks on windows is that the damn things sometimes come off, and u loose the mark , so what i have started doing now is on the outside using my drywipe pen, putting a dab on it from the outside so if it does coem off , you still have a mark there.

If that makes anysense.

p.s I also like it 😆

Thanks for that tip Mort, I like the ‘Belt and braces’ approach.

I see what you mean now Pete, its a cracking design 😀

Layout wise I’d do much the same as Mort, but I’ve been playing with paper templates (using lining paper and the pen that comes with the plotter) and its made the job alot easier for me. Money wise, I’ve been charging between £200 to £300 for basic work, uping the price if its been really complicated.

Good luck with this one though, looking forward to seeing the finished result 😀 Give me a call if you get stuck and need a hand, its about time I saw your neck of the woods 😉

Cheers, Dewi
