5 Design Tips for Creating Awesome Wall Graphics

Wall graphics can easily turn a boring room into something amazing! They can be used to draw customers into a certain area of the store, offer relevant information about products or services or just make a room look really awesome. Whether you're looking for promotional wall graphics or just want to add some life to a room, ProDezigns has you covered. Keep reading for a few tips on designing your vinyl wall graphics at the Lake of the Ozarks.

1. Pick the Perfect Imagery. 

Think about why you want to display a certain image in your office, store, etc. Does the graphic fit your mission statement or enhance your tagline? Does it offer a clear call to action? For example, a recycling company might choose imagery that communicates protecting the earth & it's natural resources. An investment firm might choose graphics that encourage people to open an account and start saving money. If you own a sports bar, maybe you want the wall art to look like a crowded stadium. With so many graphics options available, it's important that you choose something that makes sense for your company. Choosing a random image just because you like it could end up confusing your customers.

2. Choose the Right Placement.  

Wall graphics can grab the attention of a variety of people. While some wall wraps may be designed to grab the attention of your customers, others may be aimed at educating your workforce. If your goal is to reach your employees with the message in your wall graphics, good placement might be in the break room. If you want to reach customers and prospective customers, you might consider placement in the lobby or a conference room. A progressive mural that spells out the history of your company appeals to both audiences and might be well placed in a hallway. 

3. Avoid Too Much Text. 

How much text is too much text? Think about the time that the prospective viewer might spend in the area where the wall graphics will be. Do they have time to stand/sit there and read a bunch of text? In most cases, less is more when it comes to text on your wall wrap. If you feel the need to write a lengthy call to action, then the image you chose isn't doing it's job. Keep your call to action short and sweet, and let the image to the talking.

4. Target Your Market. 

What is your target demographic? If you're looking to appeal to an older generation, a loud and bold wall wrap might not be the best option. However, if you're targeting a younger demographic, those bright colors and bold images would be great to grab their attention. Is there a certain profession or type of person that you want to target? You want to make sure your wall graphics appeal to the people you're looking to reach. The goal is for the wall graphics to attract the type of customers that are best for your industry.

5. Make the Graphics Relevant. 

The great thing about wall graphics is that they are removable, just like with our Missouri custom vehicle wraps. If you're promotion changes or something else happens that makes the graphics irrelevant, you can take the wall wrap down and replace it with something new. You also don't have to wrap an entire wall; we offer partial wall wraps just like we do with our vehicle wraps. Make sure that your wall graphics aren't outdated, otherwise customers might wonder what else about your business is outdated.

The ProDezigns Vehicle Wrap Process

At ProDezigns, we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do. From concept to completion, our award winning designers work closely with you to create a high-impact, custom promotional solution that best suits your individual marketing needs. Today's blog focuses on our process. If your hire Missouri's best vehicle wrap shop, here's what you can expect:

Creative Brief

Every Lake of the Ozarks vehicle wrap project we do starts with a creative brief, after you've reviewed and accepted our quote. This is the time for us to learn about you and your business, and get some understanding of what you want your wrap to accomplish. We'll take a look at your marketing goals and offer our expertise to create the best possible promotional tool, that you can take with you everywhere you go!

Vehicle Details

If we have wrapped your model vehicle before, we will have a wrap template on hand. However, if not, we will need to build a template first. In order to do this, we would need photographs of your vehicle, clearly showing every side. We also need the measurements of the vehicle. You can stop by our office and we can take the measurements for you.

Design 

Our talented, in-house graphic designers will work with you to bring your concepts to reality. They will also ensure that the message conveyed in the design accurately and appropriately reflects that of your company, product or person. When the design concept is complete, we will create a full color proof of how the wrap will look once applied to your vehicle. You will then have the opportunity to either approve the wrap as is or tell us what changes you would like made to the wrap before moving on to the production phase.

Production

Once you're completely satisfied with the design of your Missouri custom vehicle graphics, our in-house printing department and staff will ensure accurate transfer of the images through our state-of-the-art print server. Our large format printers are fitted with Eco-friendly, top of the line ink systems to ensure the best color schemes and resolution in the industry for your brand, while not hurting the environment. The difference of this enhanced resolution is unmistakable. Our material is the best of quality in the business, a premium cast vinyl film designed specifically for long-term, outdoor use. It has excellent conformability to irregular surfaces, and superior outdoor performance and durability. 

Installation 

Our staff of professional, certified installers will carefully align the vinyl wrap panels to ensure proper fit. They will then apply them to the vehicle. Installation times vary according to the complexity of the project. However, a basic vehicle wrap will take about 1-3 days to install. Due to the nature of the adhesive vinyl and the complex curves to which it's applied, we add in an extra 24 hours after the application to allow for the film to fully adhere to the vehicle.

If you're ready to get started on your custom vehicle wrap in Jefferson City, Columbia or Lake of the Ozarks areas, give us a call at 573-392-0500. Let the marketing experts at ProDezigns help create a grand visual impression for your company, service or product, that drives business right to your door. When you consider the options, a custom vehicle wrap from ProDezigns is a great investment and a great way to increase awareness of your company!

If you can drive it, ride it, pull it, fly it, or lift it, we can wrap it!

3 Tips for Cleaning Your Vehicle Wrap

Like the rest of your vehicle, your Lake of the Ozarks custom vehicle wrap needs cleaned and maintained. For long-lasting, vibrant vehicle graphics, you'll want to wash your vehicle wrap regularly. Keep reading for some tips to use when cleaning your vehicle wrap from ProDezigns!

1. Hand Wash Your Vehicle Wrap. 

You do not want to take your wrapped vehicle to a car wash that uses brushes to clean your vehicle, as the brushes may be too rough on the film. They could cause it to lift at the edge or start peeling. While you could run it through a brushless car wash, hand washing is the best option to keep your vehicle wrap in tip-top condition. When washing your wrap, be sure to use a mild detergent and a soft automotive sponge or cloth.

2. Avoid Excessive Water Pressure. 

Not only can the brushes at automatic car washes damage your vehicle graphics, but so can water pressure. While we recommend avoiding pressure washing your wrapped vehicles, if you must do so, use the following guidelines: keep the pressure below 2,000 psi, use a spray nozzle with a 40° angle wide spray pattern and keep the water temperature below 180°F. You also want to keep the spray nozzle at least 12 inches away from the car and spray perpendicular to the wrap to avoid chipping or other damage.

3. Spot Clean Regularly. 

When dealing with difficult stains, you want to clean them as soon as possible. This can include bird droppings, insects, tree sap, pollen and fuel spills. Letting these items sit for too long can make them harder to remove, increasing the likelihood of damaging your wrap when trying to remove it. When cleaning stubborn contaminants, start by soaking the area in warm, soapy water to loosen it. If a stronger cleaning solution is needed, be sure to test an unnoticeable area first to make sure the cleaner won't damage the graphics. Be sure not to use solvents or oil-based cleaning products.

If you have other questions about caring for your custom vehicle wrap, be sure to ask one of the experts at ProDezigns! Don't have a vehicle wrap yet?
