There are three ways to go about designing your custom car wrap. They all begin with the process requiring the use of a template for your specific vehicle (thebadwrap.com). You can hire a professional designer. You can have the design team at wrap shops like ours do it. Or if you have your own software and know how to effectively use it, that\u2019s another option. A professional designer will cost you some money. Our design team, which is stellar, will do it free. Their service is included in the price of your custom wrap. But now, the tricky part\u2026trying to design it all on your own.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing on Your Own:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a bit difficult to design your own, especially if you\u2019re not very knowledgeable with your software. Make sure you plan it out, that you map it out carefully to navigate through your template. Get a good idea where you want your text and logo to go on the wrap. Understand that if you want to put a ton of information on your wrap, it can look messy and cluttered. Know that the text needs to be a bit bigger than you might think. It\u2019s a message in motion, and if it\u2019s not readable, you will miss out on building your client base. The \u201cless is more\u201d theory applies here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full vs Partial:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about what will be in your company budget. You wouldn\u2019t expect to pay the same for a 54-inch TV as you would a 72-inch TV, right? The same holds true with car wraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partial Wrap<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We do partial wraps at a price less than for a full wrap job. So, put the thinking cap on regarding what you want to spend before you create your design. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color Scheme:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a smart idea for your color scheme to reflect consistency with what your business\u2019 branding is. It will help people who see your vehicle to associate it with your company. More on color scheme\u2014when designing on your template be smart with it. Dark text on a dark background will make those graphics nearly indiscernible. The same goes for light on light. But if you plan on brand consistency, your color scheme is likely fine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurements:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When working with your template, measurements are critical. Depending on the template you have, it should make things pretty easy for you. But be careful that you get good, proportional measurements. And this is very important\u2014you have to ensure that the vehicle you\u2019re designing in your template is truly the exact same as your actual vehicle is. Sounds like it would be hard to mess that up, but it does happen. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
