Is spraying a option here?
Is the ‘mean machine’ it’s name.. I didn’t download the AI, not on right computer for that.

Rob,
it’s a customers…..
he’s sold it but the customer wants graphics and was wanting to see a couple of layouts……..
If I do something good he’ll go with it.Will post a layout over the weekend [can be anything, no restriction] would still appreciate any ideas [written or visual]
Cheers

Andrew,
Call me strange if you like but how about a camoflage pattern only done in chrome and some other colours along the sides? You wouldn’t want to blind yourself from the bridge while you drink your G&T so how about a black and white chequered pattern like a chess board or a huge print of Pamela Anderson (or your choice here) spreadeagled on the front doing some sunbaking? Or fluorecent chevrons to make it look like some flash rescue boat or completely chrome down the sides like it’s something out of the Abyss. Cool yeh.
Tell me if I should stick to knitting.

quote Andrew Boyle:Rob,

If I do something good he’ll go with it.What happens if you fail to come up with anything that pleases him. Will he still pay you for your time?
I wouldn’t do anything with out some sort of commitment from him that you will be paid even if he doesn’t like your ideas.

Simon,
like the Pamela Anderson idea……. like the FHM mini idea…..
Phill I will spend an hour or 2 doing something. the main customer is very good at giving us work so I’m prepared to spend a bit of time….will show a pic how it looked before.
Cheers

Andrew
I have something ready to show you it took me 10 minutes to 15 max
That’s what i had in mined and i LOVE black and i think it goes with everything i will send to you in 10 minutes.
Nancy -
Do you remember seeing a pic that Shane Drew sent of a bus with a shark graphic where the doors were. Try and find that and imagine that big shark with the tip of its nose being the tip of the boat – that’d be kind of cool too.
-
File attached
Hope its ok something really quick i had in mined.
Let me know what you think. its my first boat graphics lol -
looks really good nancy. i like the top view the best… like the way the checks are waving/blending… colour choice is good too… obviously water/blue etc works!
-
yes did open it Nancy looks smart what sort of vinyl would you use ? they are a bit like the swooshes Nik was saying earlier(front bits)

Hi Robert,
Glad you liked it anytime you guys need help let me know.
Nancy -
Regarding the Vinyl Depends how much the client want to spend and if he wants it to last long
I would say he should see his options
And laminate definitely salty water eats away colors and sun so UV colors and Laminate .
-
may be marine varnish over the graphics exspect that would work better
Lynn
-
I wonder where Andrew is I wanted to see what he thinks.
He should use it and show his client after all didn’t take me too long to do. -
spect he’s gone to bed Nancy it’s nearly 1 am here , what time is it where you are and how come your not doing the thanksgiving thing ?
Lynn
-
oops oh here its 11:40am and I’m in Australia . They don’t celebrate thanks giving. not sure why.
Would be nice to take a day off its 28c temp today. -

Lynn
-
