    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.
    Simon.

    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

    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.

    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 .
