Tige Logo Reproduction – Part 2

We did a small re-visit on Jared’s Tige Logo Reproduction and decided to match the original 3D border rather than use the white fade.

Tige Boat Logo Reproduction – JoyRideGraphics.com

Was your original graphic damaged?  Maybe torn off or simply aged to the point that it no longer has that crisp and color effect?  JoyRideGraphics.com can perform duplication and reproduction graphics beginning with a picture of your damaged decal.

tige-torn-001

As you can see in the above picture, Jared’s Tige logo was torn.  The dot on top of the letter “I”.  Wanting to keep the same, general design, JoyRideGraphics.com worked with the customer and determined that the Tige text portion of this graphic is separate from the background graphic.  So what we did was duplicate the Tige text only as a vector image which will be printed on our marine grade vinyl.  The customer will have the text graphic removed and apply our replacement.

tige-006

This new, crisp and slightly more modern design is a perfect 32” wide by 9” tall to match the decal being replaced.  If you need any replacement work, graphic design modifications or a completely custom design created from scratch, JoyRideGraphics.com provides full design services to meet any need.

Harris Pontoon Boat Graphic – JoyRideGraphics.com

It looks like we have a winner!  After providing our customer with a number of choices, it looks like this Brushed Metal, Shatter Graphic will be the design for Paul’s Harris Pontoon boat.

harris-276x16-brushed-1000-texture

And here is the customer’s Harris Pontoon boat mocked-up with the above Shatter Graphic.

harris-blank-1000-brushed-11

This brushed metal design is a full vector graphic that will be duplicated on both sides of Paul’s Harris.  If you are looking for a custom, one-of-a-kind design and graphic for your boat…check us out at JoyRideGraphics.com.  We offer stock designs, custom design services and pretty much everything else you need to trick out your ride!

Harris Pontoon Boat Graphic – JoyRideGraphics.com

Well…as it sometimes happens during our Completely Custom design service, Paul and I decided to try something different.  We got the spike pontoon boat graphic about where we wanted it.

harris-1000-s50

Paul, our customer and I both liked the result but Paul remained a bit questionable.  The design was based upon a Bennington pontoon graphic that was much taller than the Harris pontoon boat and I believe that led to sacrifices in the design that just weren’t sitting right.  Paul asked me for my suggestion…”What would you do?”.  So I made the suggestion of what is called a Shatter Graphic.

harris-shatter-mockup-001

Paul liked it!  Then one very early morning later, we added a silver border to the design and filled the interior of the graphic with a copper pattern, rear side lighting and some additional details…I believe we have a real candidate for the final product.  Here is where we have arrived!

harris-shatter-10-texture

I’m personally loving this design!  The texture, colors and touch of a grunge take this Harris pontoon boat from a very generic look (see original design below) to something with class and luxury, but still with a bit of attitude.

Here is the original Harris so you can compare.

harris-original-001

Thinking of updating your boat from plain to awesome?  Maybe you are even considering selling your boat.  For a reasonable price, JoyRideGraphics.com can make your old looking boat, new again!  Or…add to the resell value if you are selling your boat.  Just look at those last two pictures.  This is a transformation…not just an update.  Visit us at JoyRideGraphics.com to see what we can do for you!

Harris Pontoon Boat Graphic – JoyRideGraphics.com

With the general design and shapes looking like we are on the right track, we discussed colors and the 3D shadows and lighting needed to make this design really stand out.  This is the mock-up of the current stage of development for this Harris pontoon boat graphic.

harris-mockup-002

From a technical side, this design is a vector graphic which means once complete, it can be sized to any specification without loosing any quality.  JoyRideGraphics.com underlays the exported design onto the customer’s boat to provide a good visual of the final product.  We provide this in JPG format and email it to the customer for their input, changes, etc.

At JoyRide Graphics, the goal of our Completely Custom service is to assure that the customer is completely happy with not only the graphic, but how it will look on their boat, car, truck, etc.  There really isn’t a better way to do this than with this type hands-on service and the exchange of visualized ideas.

Harris Pontoon Boat Graphic – JoyRideGraphics.com

This continuing project will be fully documented here, in our blog for the purpose of explaining how our Completely Custom design process at JoyRideGraphics.com works.  To recap…Paul has this Harris pontoon boat and wants a custom graphic similar to this Bennington pontoon boat picture he sent.

publish-harris-pontoon-001publish-graphic-design-001

There were a few, obvious issues with this design…the biggest one being the difference in areas to be covered.  Paul’s Harris has an area of 23’ x 16” while this Bennington example is a much taller area.  So after discussing this, we decided to simply use the Bennington design as an idea.

I played with the idea of the 3D spikes and natural, earthy colors to first produce a design pattern.  This is a layout of shapes that will form the basic pattern.  Eventually, these shapes will be made 3D, shaded and colored correctly.  But the first draft is pictured here.

harris-276x16-p-001

And laying this design on Paul’s Harris provides a better idea of how the final product may look.

harris-mockup-001

Since Paul and I will be working quite extensively on this design, I included a sample color palette for Paul to use as a reference during our discussions.  This morning, I emailed Paul in Australia this first, rough draft and mock-up.  He will review this sample, we will make changes and move forward from there.

I’m excited about this graphic’s 3D design and working with a customer so far away.  Feel free to follow along with our blog postings as this project progresses and if you are looking for a boat, car, truck or other vehicle graphic, visit us at JoyRideGraphics.com.  In addition to our Completely Custom service, we offer a do-it-yourself Graphics Designer app and a large selection of stock graphics that we will customize to fit your ride!  Oh yeah…and most recently added are our Get Inked Tattoo graphics to accent not only the sides of your vehicle, but your hood, trunk or any other flat surface.

Harris Pontoon Boat Graphic – JoyRideGraphics.com

JoyRide Graphics is embarking on a new design project for an Australian customer’s Harris pontoon boat.  This Completely Custom design will involve creating a vector graphic design based upon this Bennington pontoon boat graphic.

publish-graphic-design-001

We will be fitting a design based on this to a Harris pontoon boat covering an area of 276” wide, by 16” tall and producing one graphic for each side of the boat.  We will be using neutral, earthy colors/tones and laying the cut graphic on the now painted, black background of this Harris pontoon.

publish-harris-pontoon-001

This looks like it is going to be a challenging and time consuming process with an amazing transformation once completed and applied.  The change from the original and dated Harris graphic to the final product is going to be dramatic and truly transform the look of the pontoon boat into something very modern and exciting.  Yes…we are excited with this project.  Therefore, JoyRideGraphics.com will be updating our blog with a step by step timeline showing what is involved in this project, and giving you an idea of what can be done through our custom process, with our graphic designers and using our premium marine grade vinyl materials.

Anyone considering updating their boat, car or truck may find this an interesting process to follow.  Visit us at JoyRideGraphics.com and follow our blog postings of this project to discover exactly what is possible.

JoyRideGraphics.com Website Changes & Features

Our website at JoyRideGraphics.com is a continually evolving design.  Just this morning we added Customer Testimonials…from real customers, Sizing Tips and Tricks to our Installation Instruction page and links from our Sizing Calculator, and we added a great new video about an amazing product we endorse.

RapidTac is a liquid formula that you spray on your vehicle and your vinyl graphic prior to installation.  It is simply magic as it allows you to not only slide your graphic around while positioning, but also because it helps to bind the vinyl adhesive of the graphic.  Our resident graphic installer commented “until you squeegee the graphic…you can slide it around all you like.  As soon as you squeegee it…it sticks perfectly.”

That was all the information I needed to decide to endorse RapidTac.  And we are working to offer this product over at JoyRide Graphics along with a home installation kit.

Installing JoyRide Graphics was always easy…now it is simple!

Completely Custom Graphic Design Service!

JoyRideGraphics.com is happy to introduce our Completely Custom graphic design service!

cc-design-service-001

At JoyRideGraphics.com, we can utilize vector and raster graphics to help build a Completely Custom design for your vehicle.  Utilizing the latest in design software, we can duplicated design shapes from pictures you provide, suggest fill colors, gradients, vector abstracts or complete image fills.  Our process is very hands-on and we work with you every step of the way until your graphic is perfect and approved.  Here is how this typically works.

1.  Give us Some Details
Every Completely Custom graphic starts with a meeting of the minds.  Send us an email describing the graphic you wish to create using our Contact Page.  We will respond quickly with questions and a location where you can send sample images.

2.  FREE Consultation
We will assign a designer to collect your design information and get a general understanding of the layout of the requirements, colors, etc.  This is a 100% FREE service and you will not be asked to pay anything until we have determined that what you want produced, is something we can provide.

3.  Design Process, Quote and Payment
Once we understand the design requirements, JoyRideGraphics.com will provide you with a quote for your graphic.  Typically this is our standard pricing (based upon the size of the final graphic) plus a $25 per hour design fee.  The number we quote you will include this design fee and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly yet accurately our designers work.  Our average Completely Custom design charge is $50 to $100 on top of the standard graphics cost.  Yup...our guys and gals are that good!

At this point, if you accept the quote, you will make full payment for the graphic.  In the unlikely event that we are unable to produce your graphic during the proofing process, to your satisfaction...your payment will be refunded in full.

4.  Proofing Process
With all the requirements collected, JoyRideGraphcs.com will produce your design and email it to you for approval.  Most of the time, due to our extensive design process...you will find the graphic acceptable.  But if not, we will make any changes you desire.  Change a few colors, patterns, etc.?  No problem!  We will make these changes and send you another proof.  Once you approve the proof.  We send it off to print and then mail it to you.

So what are you waiting for?  Lets get started!  Visit us at JoyRideGraphics.com NOW!

JoyRide Graphics Business Cards!

JoyRideGraphics.com has been open for about a month now and after finishing our website, posting our Custom Car, Boat, Truck and Pontoon Boat graphic designs and completing our Custom Graphic Designer app, it came time to think about print advertising.

Obviously, the first thing we needed was business cards.  Now…I have been a long-time user of VistaPrint.com.  From my website development company, DevelopingClouds.com to various other efforts, VistaPrint has provided high-quality print materials at very reasonable prices.  They have never disappointed me.

My first idea was to mimic our website theme using Jenny and our classic black and blue motif.

joyridegraphics-business-card-black

But after spending so many hours with this theme while designing JoyRideGraphics.com, I just kinda felt I wanted something more dramatic and attention grabbing.  After all…business cards are not only for handing out.  They are great, mini Display Advertisements that can be placed anywhere.  And after a few hours of playing around, I came up with our final design.

joyridegraphics-business-card-red

So…keep your eyes open for our Business Cards in various areas of the country as I will be distributing them to our business partners and “Street Team” over the next few weeks.
