  1. Thoughts about Mentoring newbies...

    I invited a young but talented designer to come over to help me with some designs. Just watching him, I learned how to work with the bezier tools, cut outs, overlaps and so forth. I began using LXI apprentice. I purchased a new machine and got the LXI Master Plus. This program has way more...
  2. Thoughts about Mentoring newbies...

    Just a thought of what some people think. I am a newbie, been just doing race cars, not much training. I have learned a lot over the past couple weeks working with a more experienced designer. There are a lot of things that I would like to learn in the trade, and would love to visit with some...
  3. advice on printer purchase

    I am looking to buy a printer to do some vinyl printing, and also use to print photos for my photo business. I won't be printing alot, and the biggest wraps I do on racecars is 30-32". I know people say buy a 54" printer, But I really would like to find a used 36" printer that I can do both...

  5. Money Wrap...

    I sponsor 5 cars, 4 of them are mine(777 cars) and the other belongs to the guy who owns a body shop and paints my cars for free!!!
  6. Money Wrap...

    They are bad, but being that I am one of them, I don't have too many problems. Especially when I put a limit on what I am going to do. I told them I was doing only 20 cars this month, they don't argue the price. Being I am not full time, I know how many I can do in the alotted time and still...
  7. Money Wrap...

    The number was designed last year, the other drivers, and my wife, like it. But we changed the color for this one. Its not great, but its not bad. I do like it. Changing it would take an act of congresss because there are 4 drivers running this number design, and my wife has had shirts made...
  8. Thoughts on this design???

    I will second that. I am a track photographer. I did a big race one year, and a guy had reflective. He came over to buy pics and told him I didn't take any. He asked why and I showed him a picture. I told him to get rid of the reflective. The next year, they guy found me and said he fixed...
  9. race car designs

    Jillbeans, Thanks for your advice. I am new, but not new. I have been doing this for the past few years, just for race cars. We were going to open up a sign shop this year, and we still may, but I have a full time job I CAN'T quit. My father passed away and we have an apartment complex that...
  10. Thoughts on this design???

    The grey area is the area that will not be wrapped or vinyled.
  11. Money Wrap...

    on another note, I posted this on the racers forum, they all liked it, except they wanted more of an outline around the number to help it stand out more.
  12. Money Wrap...

    Mosh, yes I have been to see what they look like from the stands. The ones with skulls and stuff look like a blur too. Our team color is Kawasaki green. This car right now is blue. The green flames on the money was intentional to stay with the green idea. I also thought about doing one big...
  13. Money Wrap...

    This is a racecar. The money thing goes with racing. It costs lots of money to race. The skull is the drivers idea. He likes skulls and stars. Racers look at wraps differently than advertisers. They just want cool, the SKULL WRAP that caused the big stir with copyrights would have been a...
  14. Money Wrap...

    Since all the copyright stuff is going on, I thought I would post this to see if anyone sees anything wrong. We are going to start outsourcing our wrap designs to be printed and offer this to our racers. This is what we came up with for our car, it was a quick design(once I did the money which...
  15. Thoughts on this design???

    nothing wrong with a green race car.
  16. race car designs

    The GREY area in the top design is actually going to be a silver holigraphic that the customer wanted. both cars are teammates, so we wanted something similar but different. As for the numbers, the 1 being smaller just looked neat, these guys liked it that way and at an angle. I have 2 cars...
  17. race car designs

    I am doing 2 dirt modifieds with cut vinyl, just thought I would post the designs here to see what people thing. It is rough, but they liked it.
  18. Wrap layout advice needed

    what 30" printer are you guys using. I do race cars, and have to outsorce my wraps. Would like to be able to print my own with a small printer instead of buying a 48 or 54 inch.
