dealer wrap

[WOODBS]

what do you guys think of this first design?

Although dealers are allowed to sell, and advertise, more than one brand, they are not allowed to do what was done here with the logo. That can literally cause some hardships for the dealer. The manufacturers really frown on it.

The palm tree background is still very much wanted in Florida, believe it or not, so that works. I think some mention and emphasis needs to be placed on "service". Also, the red for the name does not really jump out, but that could be the bias of seeing the majority of names in gold with a black outline.. Are they limiting you to a partial wrap, or do they intend to go with a full wrap (I am thinking in regards to having enough real estate to make it stand out.)

can you say, AURORA GRAPHICS!

In the first five seconds that I saw it, I thought it was a hotel. I barely noticed the Kia and Chevy logos. Mixing and stretching the logos, like PSG said, is a big no no. I think you are going to need to spell out "KIA" & "Chevrolet" to get more attention.

I would never let that leave my shop. Washed out colors, just about everything is streched out of proportion ... and the logos ... wow ... i cannot believe you got approval for this ...

I like the background(s), even if the side one is stretched a little too much.
Don't know much about the KIA logo, but it also seems to be pushing the limits of "stretchability".
I'm thinking a lighter shade of green(instead of red) for "Palm" and the other text as well..too many colors, like too many fonts, disrupts the "flow".
Cheers!

That it's an excellent opportunity to do a second!

lol...

thanks for the input, guys. yeah this was my first attempt in the wrap world. no experience in designing wraps, and just learning photoshop....self teaching. as for the approval of the logos, the guy that approved it apparently was the wrong guy. we have changed it to just the bowtie and working on a new design. any more ideas would be appreciated.

You really should look into the Aurora Graphics fills..... you would be amazed on how they would increase even your original design...

i've got all dave's stuff. what do ya think will look good?

[Jillbeans]

The use of red for the name lends little contrast.
I would have used white.
Why, oh why, does everyone insist on using Hellvetica? Even Avant Garde would look better for the phone # and webby.
Everything seems to be just tossed on randomly with little thought to flow.
Although with most wraps I've seen, this tends to be the norm.

IMO, just use a greyscale background with palm trees.

Ya know that feeling when you eat too much peanut butter toast, and your mouth is all dry and sticky. And you try to down it with some milk like 10 minutes later, only to seem like you have some peanut butter still stuck down on the roof of your mouth, so you try to get it and stick your finger in to scrape it out, but stick it in TOO far and end up touching the dangly thing that hangs down in your throat and your reflexes immediately kick in....???


That's what I was feeling when I looked at the pics.

No offense, but it simply does not flow. And the logo thing is..... scary. It's like one of those "good ideas gone bad" kind of things. Like I said, please don't offense, but I think it could use some work.

Regardless of everything else, and there's a whole lot of everything else here, the stretch job on the background of the side panel is strictly amateur night.

There's techniques for doing this that preserve the proper geometry of the detail. As in fat palm trees and worse, an oval moon. This particular background is perfect for stretching since all of the detail is in one place. Basically, the technique involves copying and stretching just the areas on each side of the detail and then blending them back into the original as seamlessly as you can manage. It's art, not science.

yeah i see what you mean, stretched. i have gathered more knowledge in photoshop since this job. i am working on a grey background with different fonts and maybe a vette in the background as well. thanks for all your help guys....lol, peanut butter....i'm still laughing at that
