Design Items
1) NASCAR Race Car Wrap
- The AutoZone Car has two brands on it.
- - A) Duralast GT (Primary Logo)
- - B) AutoZone (Secondary Logo)
- Add the logo on the car somewhere with the followings requirements:
- - Duralast GT = 70-80%
- - AutoZone = 20-30%
- Note: The GT Lime Yellow is an accent color (not a whole car).
- Race Car: The sides of the car need to look the same (see the provided sample layout)
- Important:: The number on the car should not be moved or changed in any way.
2) Race Car Driver Firesuit (Jumpsuit)
- This should look like it belongs with the race car (research this.. note how modern sports showcase the uniform as part of the entire "package")
- The race car and firesuit should look like the same brand
- Front Logos: This cannot move/will stay the same
- Back logos: The black logs can turn white if necessary
- We have provided a sample layout to start from.
IMPORTANT - Restrictions
