The Wrap Design 201 class is geared for someone who has been working in the large format/vehicle wrap industry for more than a year. Working in both Photoshop and Illustrator, we explore best practices when making templates, designing on these custom templates, and file preparation for final printing.

  • Students will learn how to make their own vehicle template from specific measurements and photos.
  • The creative brief process is discussed in detail, explaining why a brief can make the design more efficient by reducing revisions and resulting in faster approvals with a more focused and effective design.
