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.

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.

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

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.
