Surfers in the Boardroom



This is a cool way to liven up your boardroom.

We were asked to produce a large bespoke wall covering for a meeting room in Pearlfinders in their South London office. Unfortunately, the original image was fairly low in resolution, so once again we applied our retro coarse halftone effect to the image, to hide any unwanted pixels.

We also printed the image on a new product from our substrate suppliers called DigiWall LT, an opaque self adhesive luxury fabric wall covering.

The end result was an eye-catching mural that livens up the space, and provides a tough washable covering for the office wall.

Making a silk purse out of a sow"s ear

We were approached by a good customer of ours to print a large multi section 3.5m x 2.5m billboard poster on Blueback. The problem was, the only image they had was an extremely low resolution 300k JPG file. They asked if there was anything we could do to improve it.

Our solution was to go "Old School", we applied a course CMYK halftone screen to the image which had the combined effect of hiding the low res pixels, whilst giving the poster a charming "retro" look - which actually worked quite well given the subject matter.

Given our history in large format screen printing, the end results caused quite a lot of interest here in the studio.
