Flippin The Bird - Window graphics

  Occasionally we get some very unique vehicles at our shop in Phoenix, Arizona and the owner wants to have vinyl graphics created to make it even more one of a kind. This recently occurred when a client brought in an old airplane that he had converted into a camper. The wings have been removed and the inside adjusted to create a  comfortable sleeping space however, it was not complete yet. 

  Our client wanted to add some fun to the camper by adding photos printed on 3M vinyl to the windows creating a look that maybe there was a party going on inside.

He gave all creative freedom to our lead graphic designer to come up with something "wild" well, he did just that. 

We applied window wraps to the plane with a very extraordinary printed design showing a crazy pilot, a dog with a 6-pack and a monkey in the back just to name a few. Our customer was thrilled with the layout and said "you nailed it!" to our designer, whom created the appearance of chaos in the plane windows. There is a lot to look at if you happen to pass this on the road or at a camp site. It will make you laugh or at least say "that's crazy."

                                                                                                                                                                           

Protect Your Investment!

A goal of every company is to grow, right? Fast-Trac Designs is very excited to introduce another division of our company called Wrap Detail LLC. We provide hundreds of clients whom are also business owners with vehicle wraps and we will also now provide care and protection for the wraps. 

  Wrap Detail LLC currently has three products available that were specially created by Fast-Trac Designs to  keep your vehicle wrap clean as well as protect it from the elements we drive through daily. 

  The first is Finishing Touch spray that is to be used after washing while the surface of the vehicle is still wet. a few sprays will eliminate water spots & remove any remaining residue. 

Finishing Touch can also be used on any surface including windows, chrome, paint and certainly on vehicle wraps. 

  Next is the Fast Wax. Fast Wax spray will shield your vehicle wrap from minor scratches, keep your 

wrap looking new and only needs to be used every 3 months. This wax also features rain dance technology that repels water drops to keep your wrap spot free. The final product is another wax called Water Craft Wax. This is great for boat wraps and keeps your boat looking new! 

  Only supplied and sold by Fast-Trac Designs these items can be purchased for $20.00 each or $35.00 for both the Finishing touch and Fast Wax. We will also refill your bottles at our shop for $15.00 each.

Do You Have Proper Artwork?

If you are looking into having vehicle wraps, large format graphics or T-shirts done you will be asked this question. Do you have proper artwork? Maybe you are uncertain but the Fast-Trac Designs team is here to help you understand proper art formats, unusable art formats and what options you have to acquire the necessary art in order to complete your project.

First we would like to tell you about raster art and vector art. Raster art is what most internet images and photographs are formatted in. Made with pixels, (small squares that make up the image.) raster art cannot be manipulated without distorting the picture. Therefore, if we enlarge a raster image it will become pixilated (blurry.) Some raster files can be used depending on resolution of the photo however the image may still become pixilated. Raster file types are commonly .jpg .png .tiff & .gif

Now for vector art. This is what we need in order to properly produce vehicle wraps, screen printed apparel and other large format prints. When art is created in vector format it is made with lines and points that allow the ability to enlarge the art and it will never lose resolution. This art format is created in design programs such as Adobe Illustrator. Vector file types include .ai, .pdf & .eps

I know, now you are asking "Can my raster art be converted into vector art?" The answer is YES! We do have a very knowledgeable design department that can recreate your art to be the proper usable vector format.

Whew! That is a lot of information, but don't worry because the team at Fast-Trac Designs is here to guide you and your artwork is just the beginning. We work with our clients throughout the entire design process on every project. We hope that this helped you understand if you have proper artwork.

Graphics & Monsoon Season In Phoenix

    Monsoon season has arrived! With this muggy, humid weather we have been baring we thought we'd share some helpful advice and information about your signs, graphics and magnets.

Of course when the high winds kick up we do advise that your sidewalk signage such as A-frames and Flags are brought indoors. This will avoid damage to your signs and also avoid risk of traffic accidents if you are located near a high traffic road.

     Now when it comes to graphics such as wraps and vinyl lettering the high humidity will not negatively affect your decals. However, Storing your vehicle in a garage or carport will be beneficial to keep clear of flying debris or hail.

    Lastly, vehicle magnets would be the most concern in monsoon weather. High winds may cause them to blow off, dust will take away the magnetic strength and the humidity/heat can warp the magnet. To be sure this does not happen remove your magnets and store them flat in a cool, dry place. Clean the surface that you adhere your magnets to and clean your magnets front, back and edges using a nonabrasive cleaner.

With this advice your signs, graphics and magnets should survive the weather for this time of year.
