Frank Q Hummer Wrapped

I was asked to create a wrap for a stretched Hummer for the Danish clothing company Frank Q. They wanted an "urban street" look and this is what I came up with.

None of these are actually going to be used. Frank Q decided to use another good looking wrap (made by their internal designer).

This car is currently roaming the streets at Copenhagen Fashion Week, so look for it if you are in the area.

Hmm, looks like they went for the wrap that's the easiest and cheapest to apply, maybe ... ;)

Zyb, I know for a fact that price was not a deciding factor. It would have cost the same to wrap all of them :)

I love your design!

My company is actually looking for people to design car wraps, may I know how do I engage your help?

Are you familiar with thebadwrap software?

Wow,

you definitely know how to use photoshop,

but more important is you have the ability to think creatively & design the most spectacular car wraps, bus wraps & airplane wraps!

I'll set up my own company very soon dealing with quite similar works.

I would like to ask you if interested to have some kind of cooperation.

With kind regards

Mark

Kerry & Mark, thanks! I am glad you like it.

Unfortunately, I have too many projects on my desk as it is already, so I cannot help you.

Thomas,

Excellent designs! And great advice in the tutorials. I am interested in getting in this field myself. My, main question is once you have the design how do you transfer that to the entire car? Say, in the first two designs you show you have the design on the front quarter panel running up onto the hood (or at least implied that it will be). How would you line up the side view with the hood view for print?

Thanks Geoff,

There are generally two ways of lining it up. Either you measure it out so that are sure that one part is lined up precisely where it is supposed to go... or... you wrap the car in layers. Instead of printing a single sheet, it is printed in sections and layered on top of each other. So the front hood and front fender is a single sheet - not a part of the sideview print.

In any case, I usually just leave it to the wrapping company. I simply supply the graphics - and I then leave it to the wrapping companies to divide it into sections and prepare it for print :)

BTW: Another thing... you can actually very easially stretch the print when putting it on the car - so any minor imperfections can easially be corrected simply by stretching it a bit.

Also take a look at SkinWraps youtube channel, to see how they are putting print on a car:
