Full Sail Graphics & Marketing Warns Businesses of Vehicle Wrap Scams That are Hitting the Streets


Orange County, California (PRWEB) December 04, 2012

As reported by CBS, Vehicle Wraps are one of the most effective forms of advertising in the market today. One car wrap garners between 30,000 and 70,000 views per day.

Yet with popular ventures there is always negative fallout of con artists and scams intending to rip people off and steal their money. As of late, companies are offering to pay individuals to Vehicle Wrap their cars, making high offers of as much as $ 2,000 a month. With the current and unfortunate economic crisis and the holidays around the corner people are easily falling victim to the monetary offering.

One such scam hit home for a woman named Laurel Dakini who thought that she would be receiving an additional $ 350 a week for displaying a Rock Star Energy Drink wrap on her vehicle. CBS News states that she corresponded back and forth with the alleged vehicle wrapping company discussing the details in full and feeling comfortable with the exchange. It was not until she proceeded to physically go into the bank and cash the check that the bank representatives stopped and informed her that the check was a fake.

As society becomes more immersed in technological advancements and changes in social interaction, the demand for more attention grabbing advertisements becomes prevalent. Many companies are engaging in new, bold and extravagant forms of marketing such as ‘vehicle wrapping.’ To wrap a vehicle is to cover the body of the car with the information of a business or the logos of a company, etc. Many companies use vinyl car wrap as a way to further promote their business, and in doing so are receiving great feedback and a higher rate of success.

If a vehicle wrap is in the best interest of a business, don’t be fooled by scammers seizing the chance to take advantage of consumers. Avoid falling for companies offering you to make money if you put down a deposit. Do NOT wire money to anyone, regardless of how legitimate they seem. Also, if possible go to the physical location of a vehicle wrap company, don’t negotiate finances through email or over the phone. It is important to have visual reassurance that the organization appears to be authentic.

To avoid similar scams, it is a good idea to seek out a certified professional with years of experience and admirable customer feedback.

Los Angeles Art Luminaries Take the Tate Modern, the Hammer Museum, and the Streets of L.A.


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Work by three distinguished artists from Otis College of Art and Design can be viewed currently at the Tate Modern Gallery, Hammer Museum, and on billboards above the streets of Los Angeles.

Meg Cranston (Chair, Fine Arts) and Roy Dowell (Chair, Graduate Fine Arts) were selected to participate in the Hammer Museums first large-scale biennial survey of the work of sixty Los Angeles-based artists, Made in L.A. 2012. In addition to the exhibition, on view at the Hammer Museum through September 2, both artists were invited to produce public art billboards on a well-trafficked Los Angeles street.

Roy Dowell’s billboard, on display during July on the east side of La Cienega Blvd between Venice and Washington Blvds, is produced by LAXART Public Art Initiatives and ForYourArt – Los Angeles Public Domain (LAPD). Roys collages are inspired by design, advertising, and popular and world cultures. Although he uses abstract elements, Dowell draws from the representational and specific. The billboard recycles scraps of old billboards, combining the languages of public art and large-scale advertising, while connecting the sources and visual elements to his thirteen sculptures on display at the Hammer.

In August, Meg Cranston will create a billboard displayed at the same location. For my first billboard, she explains, I did a version of my work in Made in L.A. 2012 at the Hammer. To have the image (of multiple cigarettes lighters) in two places makes it like an ad campaign. The question is what am I advertising? I suppose real advertisements work in a similar way. What is pictured is often only metaphorically related to the product being sold. Puppies can be used to sell toilet paper or an image of a beautiful woman to sell snow tires. To me the lighters have poetic resonance but I will let the audience decide.

LAXARTs contribution to Made in L.A. is This is a Takeover! A Ten-Year Survey of Slanguage. Slanguage, the internationally renowned artists collective co-founded by Otis alumnus Mario Ybarra, Jr., produced an interactive installation along with public events and performances that take place through September. Heralded by the L.A. Times as a rare institution that successfully straddles the community and mainstream art worlds, Slanguage focuses on art education, community-building, and interactive exhibitions to cultivate relationships between diverse artists, students, communities, and organizations.

The Crystal Quilt, by pioneering activist and artist Suzanne Lacy (Chair, Graduate Public Practice), has been recreated for Londons Tate Modern, July 18-October 28, for the inaugural exhibition of ‘The Tanks’ at the Tate Modern, designed by Swiss architectural duo Herzog & de Meuron. The new space, a series of recycled underground concrete oil tanks, opened to the public as part of the current London 2012 Festival in conjunction with the Cultural Olympiad.

The original Crystal Quilt (1987) took place in Minneapolis where Lacy gathered 430 women over the age of 60 to share their views on growing older. The resulting performances, broadcast live on television, were attended by more than 3,000 people. The Crystal Quilt at Tate Modern combines the original elements of performance, activism, and broadcast in an ambitious work fusing social responsibility with the power of aesthetics. Lacy plans to update this groundbreaking piece with granny flash mobs, a performance piece that celebrates the achievements of older women in Britain.
