Van Graphics for The Prout Bridge Project

THE CLIENT

Prout Bridge Project has gone from strength to strength, starting out of the Beaminster Youth Club in Dorset. This year will mark their 5th birthday serving the community. With an aged population, Dorset is in much need of these youth services to keep our young ones engaged, social, and safe. Prout Bridge offers regular and well-attended clubs, holiday activities, and facilities for all those in the surrounding area.

They offer a multitude of activities spanning arts, music, crafts, sport, dance, fitness, learning, culture and heritage; all with the drive to help young people thrive with the support of the hub. With the last year's ups and downs, more focus has been given to help fight loneliness, social isolation, and making sure people are mentally well through these turbulent times.

As a Social Hub the last 18 months have been tough, especially for our charitable services. Prout Bridge saw the need to diversify its offering and contacted Creative Solutions to help in the wrapping of a mobile service vehicle to make sure it could reach all those in need.

THE BRIEF

Prout Bridge Projects' main goal for the coming months was to get itself up and running again after the covid restrictions placed on social enterprises. With a successful crowdfunding campaign back in April this year, they managed to secure funding to purchase and kit out a much-needed outreach vehicle to make contact with the community and use more open spaces to host sessions this summer.

Affectionately known as 'Gilbert', the Ford Transit van made its way into our workshop to get an all-over wrap service to better sport the Prout Bridge Project message.

With artwork provided by our Client, we were all set to make this charity's next venture a reality!

THE SOLUTION

Printed Vinyl Van Graphics is our Bread & Butter at Creative Solutions. Our expert team will guide you through the process from design to final application, making sure you're happy every step of the way. We understood how much this meant to the Prout Bridge Project team, and wanted to deliver nothing short of perfection for Gilbert who would be repping the colours on its run-arounds for years to come.

The vinyl is directly printed, giving that photo-realistic quality and turning the client's logo and design into large-scale peelable sheets measured exactly for each panel of the van. Expertly laid onto the surface of the vehicle, each panel is then carefully sculpted by hand to blend into all curves and edges. The van as you can see in the images below was originally white, which we transformed into luminous gloss teal. With all-over graphics, we make sure to cover all roof, doors, edges, ledges, boot, and bumper panels - you would not know it was previously white at all!

Prout Bridge Project can now spark joy around the Dorset Countryside in style, knowing their Transit's graphics will stand the test of time for years to come, and continue their mission of providing opportunities for people of all ages in West Dorset to come together socially after over a year apart.

We wish them every success, and look forward to the fleet of vans they may need in the future coming through our doors!
