It's been a while. I hope everyone had a great off-season. It's finally time to get back in the swing of things! 🏁
I just wanted to pop on here today and send out this friendly reminder. This message is specifically for go-kart racers and teams.
It's very important to me that I deliver the best quality possible to my customers. I'm not just a graphic designer, I'm an artist - That's why each design has the "Shelby Flair" (as most of you say. 😁)
When I create your genuine race team merch, it's down to every little detail, and I'm drawing YOU behind the wheel. There's no clip art, copies, or imitations in my portfolio.
Please hold off until you have the finalized wrap and graphics/sponsor decals applied to your kart. As well as a good, high-resolution photograph of your kart with YOU in it.
Action racing shots on the track work the best. This makes it much easier for me to render everything perfectly. An action shot allows me to see how you are positioned in the kart while racing. I want my illustrations to be accurate and this will work better in the design.
Talk to your track photographer about getting the best shot. A lot of them will offer the purchase of digital copies.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
