How U-Haul Graphics Are Made

Steven King begins the process by gathering information, working through published reports and communicating directly with leading scientists in each field, he creates rough concepts and ideas that are drafted and presented to the CEO, Steve creates the final vector art, using Adobe illustrator, and it is sent out for production once it is approved. The illustration style of the graphics has been dictated by the limitations of the printing process, the changes in the graphics are noticable over the years as the technology of the industry has changed. In the past, the graphics have always been printed as spot colors for large format silk screening until 2008. Graphic #130 - Nova Scotia, burning ship was the first graphic to be printed digitally. The rest followed suit. Steve King was the central core of its making from 1997 to 2013. Steve King was the central core of its making from 1997 to 2013. Steve no longer works for the company but U-Haul continues to reprint his graphics every year as the fleet continues to grow.
