Van Wrapping for Ponds Are Me
PROJECT DETAIL
Ponds Are Me are an award winning pond designer based in East Devon, supplying a 1-stop shop for the transformation of any garden particularly with the addition or revamp of any water feature from a pond to a small water fountain.
THE BRIEF
Ponds Are Me commissioned Creative Solutions to design, print and install vehicle graphics for the company van. With the brief of a full van wrap, the design needed to incorporate various images of previous work in an eye-catching display.
THE SOLUTION
Working with our lead designer Leigh, Ponds Are Me wanted to create an interesting, eye-catching pond scene incorporating a specific iconic bridge image to create a full van wrap. This created a problem, as the image of the bridge the client had wasn't a sufficient resolution to use - it would be pixellated when printed. The client also didn't have enough high resolution images from previous jobs to create a large enough compsosition to fully cover the van. In order to sort both of the issues, our team arranged a photoshoot for the client with a specific brief. From there, Leigh would be able to photoshop the various elements together to create a perfect wrap composition, based around the pond and bridge.
It was vital that Leigh was able to make the composition look believable and not photoshopped. Time was spent carefully considering the blend of light and shade, creating false shadows and reflections with a myriad of images from the photographer. Working with the client, the 'fantasy' pond and bridge image was created.
The digital design of the van wrap as presented to the client before going to print.
The next stage was creating the print files ready for print. By far the most complex aspect of the job, this was technically taking a 2D design and getting it ready to be applied to a 3D shape. Measurements were crticial and took in to account swage lines and the curvature of the van.
On top of the composite image, our design team placed vector graphics of waves and bubbles. For the main 'Ponds Are Me' logo, a high grade vinyl with a glossy finish was used to help it stand out from the imagerry of the pond.
The overall look was an eye-catching, dynamic, multi-layed van wrap showing all the best elements we can provide as a creative company. The van will undoubtedly serve as a strong promotional tool for the client.
Can I just say a huge thank you to all that were involved in transforming the van, an absolute amazing job and I am over the moon with it.
From my initial contact, to all the assistance from Leigh and Ben, from the start everything has been handled with great professionalism and politeness by you all and I can't thank you enough.
I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
