Photographs for Vehicle Wraps

Most images you find on a Google image search will not be good enough!

So you’re getting a vehicle wrap and want to include some photographs to help consumers understand what you do.  If you want to impress people instead of turn them away choosing the right images is really, really important.  Did we mention it’s important?  It’s really important!

Here are the rules when it comes to large format imagery (break these rules at your own peril)

1.  High Resolution.  300+ dpi.   As a general rule most images you find on a Google image search will not be good enough.  Anything with (k) next to it is way to small.  Anything taken with you cell phone is also too small.

2. The Camera.  If you plan on taking your own photographs or have a friend or nephew who has a camera you need to use a 10 megapixel camera or greater.  The camera should be a dSLR camera and the photos should be taken in the RAW format for best results.
