Final Project: Pack Rats Vehicle and Trailer Wrap


This is the final product that was able to create for Troy's Pack Rat company.  The vehicle wrap turned as I wanted.  I wanted to use as much of the negative space as possible. Unfortunately I am not competent enough to have figured out how to rotate the vehicle to show a tailgate wrap. This is also present throughout the trailer wrap. I had difficult time saving images to a PNG file in order to upload to the free software program that I used.  The second half of the trailer wrap I would of like include some of the services that Pack Rats offer. Such as junk and landscape removal along with moving.  The Pack Rats log stands out very well and has a professional feel.  As we discussed the house sitting upon the company name creates closure within the image. With more training and experience I would have liked to include some more graphics that would drag the eye across the canvas of the vehicle down to the trailer. Forcing the viewer to see both logos and contact information. Beside the lack of know how, I feel this was an interesting learning experience that will be useful in my future professional career choices. Regardless of profession, visual design knowledge will always be a useful tool. Thanks to every in the group.

Compose Your Frame

This was an image I captured a few years back while fly-fishing the foot hills of Capital Reef National Park. The area is know as Thousand Lake Mountain and is located North of Loa, Utah. I had just woken up to the sunrise cresting over the horizon.  This area has a strange natural pollution like atmosphere that allows for the some of the most significant sunrises I have seen. The sun is almost centered on the horizon line and the shoreline of the lake. There seems to be contrast between the existing darkness of the foreground and the newly risen sun in the horizon.  You have the multiple vectors of the image. The Horizon line, tree line, and the body of water.  These could also play into the rule of thirds that allow the eye to be drawn to certain points in the image. The diagonal rule is most noticeable within the position of the lake. I was located in the bottom left corner of the lake which positioned the lake at an angle to the horizon line.  If you follow the shoreline to the horizon you can faintly interpret some of the red rock formations of Capital Reef.
