Nice and clean looking, not over busy to the eye.
My only comment is the back of the traffic's the lower text is aligned to the panel crease not to the rest of the upper text & the Badges.
Personal opinion but I think it looks better all being parallel. |

I agree Tim, and I've told them time after time to measure up from the bumper. |

John
I align ant text in that area to the door swage
it is parallel to the bottom of the door and the bumper, but both are convex, so if you make it square it looks p1ssed

That's right Peter.
What I actually tell them is that, on any vehicle, to choose one datum from which to take all measurements. In the case of the Trafic the bumper is straight, so makes a good place to use. Other vehicles may have better datum points.
Oh for the old days, when Transits had gutters, and all we had to do was to hang a tape measure from it.  |

Whatever the job we just use whatever method seems to be the quickest and easiest for the volumes involved.
Ones and twos we would just print oversize and trim to shape on the van. High volumes we would print and cut.
This customer falls somewhere in between those extremes, batches of five to ten at a time, so we print a fine line of the panel shape on the image, then just cut by hand.
To get the actual panel shape we start with the Impact outline, then adjust by trial and error until it's right. |
