Jazz Bar Wallpaper
Setting the mood in restaurants and bars is an important part of keeping customers coming. In this location, our customer sets the mood in a jazz bar with a custom wall mural that lets you know the place is about jazz!
We use a commercial grade vinyl wallpaper that is tough as well as beautiful. That’s important in a location like this. Our UV cured inks are brilliant and very durable. You can count on them to last!
Tent Bannner
It’s the time of the year for outdoor events, and that means event tents. Here’s one way our customer displayed their products in a tent- with one of our vinyl banners at the back.
You always have to be worried about the wind with this kind of thing, and I’m pleased that they used bungee cords to hold up the banner. Not only does that hold it taut, but it allows it to move to shed the wind if needed.
A good vinyl banner says that you are a professional company, and it attracts people to enter your tent. Think about using one of our banners in your tent!
Printing on Canvas
Canvas is a material that many people like for large format printing. In this case, we were printing photos, but we also do reproduction of paintings and digital art. Canvas is nice because it has a great texture that softens the image.
When we do a print of a painting, you need to touch it to realize that the brush strokes are printed, they are that realistic. If you have a good digital image of a painting, we can make you a canvas print that knocks your socks off.
Canvas prints can also give you banners that have that “old time feeling.” Hang them up with some old rope, and off you go!
Our Neocon Booth
I’m just back from doing the Neocon show in Chicago, a trade show for interior designers. We were showing our suede and smooth wall murals, and our wall fabric. Our booth was well received, and I hope we found a lot of new customers!
What’s different about Neocon is that they give you three walls, instead of pole and drape as in a typical trade show. I put our suede wallpaper on one wall, wallboard vinyl on the back, and wall fabric on the third. They all looked great!
One observation I had, though, was how much more forgiving the suede wallpaper was of the wall below. The walls in these booths are not the smoothest, and the suede wallpaper masks the irregularities below much better than a smooth material. You really had to look to find a problem, and there were plenty! The smooth material on the back showed every little blip.
Museum Panorama
This is a panoramic wall mural printed on wallboard vinyl. It’s a great choice for this kind of work, since it’s easy to remove when the time comes. The results speak for themselves.
It’s printed from a panoramic photo taken with new technology developed by the military and Carnegie Mellon. Fantastic quality and image resolution! We’ve done some NASA images of the moon from the same technology, and they are stunning.
We did several of these for the White Mountain Museum, and the work is something that we can be really proud of.
Wall Mural Duplicate
This is one of the more interesting custom wall mural jobs we have done. The town of New Bedford is renovating their town hall, and they didn’t want to lose the hand painted mural on one of their walls. Except the wall had to be torn down as part of the renovation.
The solution was creative! Ian Raymond, a fabulous photographer in the area, was called in to shoot a panoramic photo of the mural. In point of fact, he stitched over a dozen photos together in Photoshop to re-create the mural.
He then gave us the Photoshop file, and we produced the wall mural to be installed in the renovated town hall. It will be very, very close to the original in size and colors. People will wonder how did they ever get the mural down and back up again!
Auto Dealer Wallpaper
This incredible wall mural is installed in the Moss Bros Toyota dealership in California. It is 5-1/2 feet high and 154 feet long, wrapping all the way around the sales area.
We did the design work, with pictures from California showing it’s history, lifestyle, and industry. If you are trying to brand your retail space, we have the graphic design talent to give you a wall mural that will do the job!
Wall murals are a great way to transform what would otherwise be a big blank wall into something exiting and interesting. Try it in your stores!
Small Banner Stands
I went to a small local show in New York this week, and there were some small retractable banner stands we did.
These are nice because they replace what normally would be a foamcore sign with an easel back. These can be put right at the edge of the table, as you see here.
The other big advantage is that they travel better. Foamcore tends to get chewed up with handling, these little banner stands roll back into the cartridge and make it to the next show unscathed.
All in all, these give a very nice presentation when doing a small show, and at a very affordable cost.
TV Set
This room will eventually become a set for a TV newscast. Our customer is using a photo of their town as a backdrop, and it is striking!
We used our suede wallpaper material for this, since the texture breaks up the glare from studio lighting. Suede wallpaper has a texture much like a suede jacket, just enough to break glare and provide a surface that is more forgiving of irregularities in the wall or the artwork.
I’m figuring that they will replace the random chairs and tables with a newscast desk before they are done.
Lobby Banner Stand
In many cases, you don’t want to put a permanent sign in your lobby. Banner stands are a great way to solve the problem.
They don’t require any fixtures, the maintenance department doesn’t need to install them, and when you want to remove them, it takes about a minute. If you decide it will look better in a different spot, you pick your banner stand up and move it over.
Best of all, they are cheap! This banner stand that we made for the local hospital cost them $199. We can do a banner stand for you for the same price!
Banner stands are also great promotions and events. They are up for a time, and then they go away cleanly. We can replace the graphics with the announcement of your next event.
