Here are some shots of TP1811 AOA for Emirates seen at Bull creek Station.

Many buses get around with full off side Adds, so seeing TP1811 Full AOA with missing parts of the add over the forward half of windows on the off side is rather disapointing, because the add lacks the inpact it should have.
This next photoshoped picture of the add shows the impact the add should of had.

I think you'll find that's pretty normal. Full cover to about the middle door, then panels only to the front. But I like the look of that AOA, some very interesting AOAs lately.

Yeah i know thats the way they have been doing full AOAs ,except the recent zoo AOA which had large writing on the forward windows on both sides .
Its just you can cover all the windows on the far side right up to the drivers window with a full one sided add , but not with AOA.
The near side i get " driver visablity ect".
The whole idea of a full AOA is lost in some add themes because of the forward windows not being utiliesed.
Even thou i like this one , it just falls short of the impact it should have , the overseas & interstate AOAs far better in that way because they use more of the bus IMHO. :roll:

Wow, only just seen your photoshop jobbie. Magic. Obviously there's far too much time between your trips such that you can fit in both photoshopping & harassing pie shop owners.

Today one of the SOR AOAs ventured north into Morley BS with the help of the circle route.
Makes a change seeing something like TP1811 with the tram AOA in morley rather than the city as you normaly do.

AWESOME job on the photoshop. As for the AOA itself, I CANNOT see a problem with covering the windows on the OS to the driver's window. As for the NS (it doesn't bother ME personally) however there is a BIG drama with SOME drivers :roll: The fact you lose SO MUCH of the AOA concept with the windows NOT being covered, I'd certainly be complaining (or asking for massive discount) on the cost of the advertising if I was the company involved and paying. Unfortunately, nowdays, this is the way of AOAs (or should I say 1/2 AOAs) :( You certainly have some good AOAs in WA (nowdays and over the years). Especially liked the Zoo one with the tiger :mrgreen:
Don't pan HFB for his flower & puddles shots :lol: , they are fantastic. FINALLY got a puddle shot here in Tassie the othe day, BUT not as good as yours :wink:

3001 received it's first AOA yesterday afternoon for Bankwest. As W.C.E are playing at home this week, i would imagine it will be used on Saturday.

Great shots 6LW, but I have to say, it looks completely horrendous! And worse still, it supports "Them"

Let's see... What would everyone think of 3002 going in an ÁOA for the Dockers and Alinta Gas?
Mixed thoughts on 3001, though.
