Default Anybody painted horseboxes?

Having a nightmare getting my head around this one. Client does wedding carriage hire and wants these horse boxes to be given the works. All those panels are giving me a problems.

He wants a mural of one of his carriages on the sides which is fair enough, but it doesn't leave much space for lettering. I fear a weak design...











As anybody else tackled one of these? Just what do I do with the back?

Yes, I had thought of doing that, but I'm not sure if even that could look a bit naff?

Mister. Mister. What did we learn? what do we do? We ignore the obstacles! And see it as a flat panel. Just ignore it all Mister, even exaggerate the obstacles, throw some panels in their, and remember the negative space!

Get yer OHP OUT & have fun!! ;o) - listen to Uncle Pete.

They must be a bit quiet me thinks...
