Personalised Destination Bus Blind Print

On the great bus ride of life - what were your favourite stops?

As seen in Vogue, Living etc, Cosmopolitan and many more quality publications!

These fabulous bespoke reproduction bus blind prints are totally unique to you. Tell the story of your life though your own destinations. List your names, favourite holidays, places with special meaning, children's names, private jokes, where you fell in love, where you have lived - anything is possible. A fantastic piece of statement art and an amazing conversation starter.

We have given you the option of 16 destination lines to start with as we think that looks great, but you can have as few as 8. It's all up to you and how you want your print to look. If you would like more or less lines, and so would like to change the size of the print or frame, or want to vary the colour, just ask and we'll be happy to oblige. Please enter your destinations in BLOCK CAPITALS.

Each print is individually created and emailed as a proof to you for your approval before printing. We normally send the proof within 3-5 days of accepting your order, so please keep a look out for it. A giclee print is then created on archival enhanced matte paper and posted to you unframed, wrapped in tissue paper in a protective cardboard tube. Or if you'd prefer, you can have it custom framed in a black wooden frame, teamed with black mount board, by local framers using FSC approved wood.

A unique gift for loved ones, parents, grandparents and those big wedding anniversaries too!

If you love the idea as a gift, but are unsure of the words to use, why not choose the voucher option. We'll send you a smaller version of the 'voucher' print and an information sheet giving all the details of how to order your print when the destinations have been decided upon! You can buy a voucher for a framed or unframed print. Just select 'Yes' in the Gift voucher option, but do not list any destinations - it's all for your recipient to choose.

Dimensions: 26x51cm approx. as a framed print, or 21x47cm approx. as an unframed print. There is now also the option for an A2 (42x60cm approx.) print that can have 11 destinations added to it and this is available in my other products.

Unframed prints will be printed with a substantial white border around them. This allows for easier and cleaner handling when unwrapping and when framing, which we highly recommend to preserve the quality of your print.

Please allow approximately two weeks for delivery of unframed prints and approximately four weeks for framed prints.

How to get the most from your print:

• Take a day or two to think about your list of "destinations" - sometimes when you're not actively thinking about it, one will pop into your head from nowhere!


• Think about the order in which you want the destinations to appear. Some go for chronological order, some by order of importance. We will present the artwork in the order you give us.


• The length of each line is important. A small word like ROME will look very spaced out, a lot of words like Welwyn Garden City College may look too busy.


• If you like the variety of small and large text size, then it would be great to provide destinations that work in the format. Instead of just ROME, have ROME TI AMO (which means I Love You in Italian of course!) or CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK instead of just Central Park

All of these things will help us to get your artwork right first time and minimise any delays in the proofing and amendment stage.

A quick history lesson!

AEC Limited, the company that made the iconic Routemaster buses, was born in Walthamstow - just like me! Before WWI, Frank Pick, the Chairman of London Underground, commissioned Edward Johnston to create a typeface that could be legibly read by all at some distance, to be used on the front of trains and throughout the underground. When London Transport was created, merging all buses, tubes and trains the Johnston font became synonymous with London.

So the original British designers of the bus blind were Pick and Johnston, nearly a century ago! The first folk to bring us personalised bus blinds were the utterly fabulous Print Dolls in Australia and we are proud (actually pleased as punch) to be the only ones to have their blessing to offer the same here in the UK. We hold true to their high standards.
