5 Things to Con­sid­er When Con­sid­er­ing Large For­mat Graphics

Graph­ics: Like envi­ron­men­tal graph­ics? Here are 5 items our team access­es when it comes to graph­ics for a facil­i­ty, and you should too.

So, you’d like some graph­ics? Here are the first items our team access­es when it comes to graph­ics for a facil­i­ty, and you should too.

1. Set the Experience

How would you like peo­ple to feel when they encounter the space?
Large for­mat or envi­ron­men­tal graph­ics can be beau­ti­ful eye-catch­ing dis­plays that set the mood, tone, and cul­ture of your space while sup­port­ing your brand.

2. Design is Everything

Who is pro­vid­ing the design? What will be the process for reviews and final approvals? Art­work needs to be cre­at­ed at the high­est res­o­lu­tion pos­si­ble either inter­nal­ly or with a design team (like us). Stock images can be pur­chased, but some­times his­tor­i­cal or region­al imagery is nice (as long as the res­o­lu­tion is such that it can be scaled nicely).

3. Loca­tion Deter­mines Product

Inte­ri­or or Exte­ri­or? Size of space? It makes a big dif­fer­ence dur­ing prod­uct selec­tion and installing. There are dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als for dif­fer­ent con­di­tions and needs (like updat­ing in the future).

4. Sol­id Sur­face Information

What is the sur­face of the desired loca­tion? Glass, dry­wall, tex­tured wall, con­crete, brick? Each is a unique appli­ca­tion and needs spe­cial con­sid­er­a­tion to choose the prod­uct with the right adhesion.

5. Longevi­ty

Is this a for­ev­er sign? Or how often will you change the design?

The goal of these ques­tions is to quick­ly set expec­ta­tions ear­ly.
It is SO impor­tant to make sure the design, prod­uct, and install are cor­rect for your unique situation.
