Vinyl vehicle wraps are a very popular form of advertising for both large and small companies. Many vehicle wraps are made of large, printed vinyl stickers that are applied to the surface of the vehicle. Designing for vehicle wraps can be a bit complex and, therefore, any designer who decides to undertake a vehicle wrap project should research and understand basic graphic design programs before jumping in.

Here are a few steps for getting started with a vehicle wrap design project.

Gather information

Before you start designing anything, you need to obtain an accurate template. It's crucial to create the designs on an accurate template file of your client's vehicle in order to create a design to scale. It will also be beneficial to obtain high-quality photos of the vehicle you are designing a graphic for, and to know the exact make and model.

Create the design

Work with your client to find out exactly what they want their vehicle graphic to look like and start designing. You can sketch out your designs and then Photoshop them onto a photo of the vehicle— this will give you and your client an idea of what the design will look like on the vehicle in real life. Be sure to create multiple mock-up's that can be easily adjusted or tweaked to appropriately fit your client's desires.

Apply the design to the template and deliver the files

Vehicle wrap print files can be created in either Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop— many vehicle wrap printers accept both types of files. Then deliver these files to your client, along with any raw image or photo files you may have used for the design.
