This project was done for our next-door neighbors at Minute Man Press DTC. They asked my to put up a list of products and services along with a color logo. This logo was print and die cut on out HP Latex L26500. The logo and colored letters have a calendared laminate to protect it from the elements. One thing I like to do for the client is to provide them with a proof of what the project will look like using Adobe Illustrator to scale the files. If I know the actual window dimensions I can then make a 10% scale copy and this ensures all the text will fit when it is enlarged to full size and cut on the plotter. This technique works rather well with vehicle wraps as well. One thing to keep in mind is that your photograph MUST be straight on to reduce problems with perspective. If you can't fit everything in the photo or if there's a car in the way this method won't work; you'll have to revert to grey boxes in Illustrator to show the windows. Clients always like something they can visualize, it really helps sell the job.
