I would be interested in 200 if the price is right!

[bluesteve]

does it work , get more tips?

[Mike_Boxall]

Still trying to find an artist........can anyone help?

We'd also need an idea of what sort of picture to use. The only thing I could think of is a snow covered window being cleaned with a squeegee (yes, I know, I know!!) exposing some festive scene inside. What you you think?

Regards

Mike

Just been reading through this thread, gave me an idea how i can kill some time as i'm sitting at home bored as i got rained off so had a little muck about in photoshop

couldn't find any images of santa and reindeers otherwise they would of been using the wfp

Not sure if this is any good Mike.   Would obviously ask for their website to sample the work.  I have seen a book they illustrated but the pictures were of animals & a picture of the famous John Seymour.    I visualised more a cartoon type drawing?

"Artist and Illustrator I am a Manchester based artist, working in a range of media. Recently, I have produced the cover design for ‘A Good Life’ by Paul Peacock, as well as the interior line drawings and will be soon designing the cover for the biography of Jack Hargreaves. I am currently writing and illustrating a series of children’s books, in between brewing up and walking the dog."

In addition, I'm waiting for an email address from a guy called Howard.  He is a graphic designer. He's used to working from concept to finished article so could get the whole project print ready.  Will PM all these details to you when I get them.

What would you guys be willing to pay for professionally printed window cleaner themed christmas cards? (lets say they are left blank on the inside for you to personalize yourself at a high street print shop)

Quantities;- 50 - £ ?
                  100 - £?
                  150 - £ ?
                  200 - £ ?

Not posted for a while as i moved house!

ANYWAY, last year went down shops and bought 600 crimbo cards and just printed my own message on the inside using my computer, didnt take a genious as you guess else i wouldnt b a w/c! OR WOULD I?

it worked a dream by putting dear customer set out at top, then my company name and my name and number underneath! Try it loads of tips last year, ill definately b doing same this year, if i can remember how i did it!!

[Mike_Boxall]

OK

So it seems we have some contacts all we need now is to agree on the picture. What does everyone thinks of steve's idea. I think it needs to be a cartoon type drawing myself but th majority rules

A couple fo people have meantioned this artist http://www.geofftristram.co.uk/ the problem is that he'll need to know how much detail we want to be able to price it.

I don't think it's practical to do 2 images so it needs to be an image suitable for both traditional and wfp.  Any more ideas?

Mike

Howard, the illustrator I mentioned above, is happy to be contacted about this on  TheBlueShed@fsmail.net

Hi Mike mine was never intended to be an idea i just had a muck about one afternoon so i thought i'd add it to the post.

I have never tried christmas cards before but if you rekon you get more tips then i'll have a go myself at it, i rekon i'll just get a winter/christmas scene and whack our logo on it.

Hi Steve,

How much did you pay for the number plates?

I am right in saying you have two sets, or am I totally mistaken and that is just a moody one in the photo.

[steveaqua]

Hi Propole we have two number plates on the vans A7OUA and A9OUA with a little screw stratigically placed on each van to make it look like a Q.

They were a bargain at £199 each, they get a lot of comments and attention and i think they were money well spent!

[P®oPole™]

  £199 omg I have to get me one of those, you have the best combinations you sod 

Were did you get them from mate?
