That looks good! Nice looking and easy to read quickly. For £360 you cant go wrong, it will pay for itself in no time ;D

All the best,
Jason.

sorry but i'm going to sound so negative but sure others will say if at some point if i don't. remember my points are from seeing the images online only and i'm sure it looks much better in real life

first thing i don't like about it is it's hard to see what you do. the 3 services are the most important part and they are the most smallest text and the one that blends in the most. you immediately notice the name then the numbers, but what do you do?

second thing to me is the name shoreshine hides the 3 images far too much, in particular the carpet cleaning image as there is poor contrast already in that image, then it doesn't help to have the writing on it so large.

when i first saw the van i thought you were some beach company. the name shoreshine on top of what looks like sand, then the ocean, then sand/cliffs is what i immediately thought.


with that said it looks great and you seem to really like it. i'm sure you'll get plenty of work from it

Its easy to see what he does, look at the pictures and read the text. From an active advertising point of view you cant get much better than that.

All the best,

yes the pictures arent the best view online it was in drizzly conditions, the colour and detail are perfect in normal view.

but the point is it makes you look harder.
time will tell,

thanks for the input everyone!

next job is my website...

I really like it well done.

An idiot might find it confusing though.

well my brother in law done the 1st design, then i passed it onto the sign writers and they done a small bit of tweeking.
I got two of the photos off a photostock company and the other my wife took whilst i was working.
so a family input so to speak

had a batch of new leaflets done too, so just the website to sort out now a bit more advertising in local rag.
the carpet cleaning has only been going since september 2010 good response from the net and word of mouth.
 
thanks

you may know that from experience but i wouldn't say so.

i'd say the average customer isn't going to sit and review the van taking in everything like we are here, instead just like with any advertising they're going to have a quick glance at it. Now this will confuse you Gary but this means for a small company starting up looking to get more customers the most important thing you need is what you do. But any way what do i know i'm only a kid
