AutoSkin | Inspiration

This Pro Hart print inspires many an AutoSkin.  It is up on our office wall.

The vehicle can be many things to many people and used in right way it can also be a canvas for art.  Your vehicle can be more  than simply advertising on the road; it can be a reflection of the heart and soul of your business, of what you love about your business that can inspire those who view it and who may just be looking for the experience on offer whether a service, a product or you.

Arquilla | Back for more

You may recall that in very recent times we applied a variation of this design on Arquilla's Kangoo. Well they've just upgraded their long wheel based van with a similar design. The wine bottles were angled on the Kangoo. Here they stand tall and upright. Same design, simple variation to account for larger vehicle type. You may like to flick through the gallery below main image to see their previous design on this vehicle. That design has since been removed and applied with a simplified design which is in keeping with the freshening up of their website and other branding mediums. A business that works on their business not just in their business!

The ''Designed'' Difference

If a business is serious about their brand then by the time they arrive at our door it is simply a handover of essential business branding elements - logo, colours, fonts and perhaps imagery, illustration and catchphrase in an appropriate format. We require these elements delivered as artwork or as the starting point to develop concepts for an AutoSkin design. By way of example Get Started came prepared with their logo elements and design to go. It was simply the tweaking of supplied artwork to optimise the design for their vehicle type using our knowledge of placement and to offer a few suggestions. John suggested a large metallic orange G on the sides of the car for greater effect (texture, metallic sheen creates some motion in the graphic ~ fluidity rather than flat matte) but how we achieved this is a bit of a secret; part of continually striving to create a better designed AutoSkin for your business. Client feedback after collecting the car is that they are thrilled!

Catwalk Theatre | March 9, 2010

Gotta love these designs. Illustrations ~ shades of pink on black, beautiful women. It's all about fashion and it's all happening right now, (see our current post) at the 2010 Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Our association with MINI has seen us cover a fleet of vehicles for the 2006, 2007 & 2008 LMFFs. This year one of the dealerships: Bib Stillwell MINI Garage in our neighbourhood came to us to print and apply this design to one of their vehicles. Bib Stillwell MINI garage in conjunction with OC Communications and Events is sponsoring the CatWalk Theatre Event on March 9 (full details in current post)
