This was quite an interesting process for me to see as I'd never used vinyls before and had no idea how it all worked. It was actually a surprisingly simple process; we already had the illustrations & the menu in the right format so it was just a case of sending it to the printer in the correct way. We got a bit of help off James in the print room, and he helped make sure everything was flipped so it wouldn't come out backwards once it had printed.
Since we had a lot of lines within the illustrations, it was quite tedious having to pick out each little bit out of the vinyl ready to put the backing paper on. It also took a while to print because of the size of each of them, but after seeing them printed it's definitely worth it.
The lines are so clean which means they will look super professional once they are up in the cafe. I'm SO glad we decided to go down the route of vinyl instead of trying to paint/draw the design onto the window; I feel like that would have been an extremely painful process, and it would have looked no where near as refined as these (hopefully) will.
