    Hi All

    Not shared anything for a while so thought I’d post some pictures of out latest project.

    Circa 50 sheets of 10*5 aluminium composite, 20 sheets of 8*4 PVC, 250 square metres of print, 2 stud walls for the playroom fronts, custom made doors and folding room divider, LED halo sign, custom theme / design (with a little i-stock in the family tree), custom characters/caricatures based on the owners 5 children, loads of late nights in the last few weeks.

    Look forward to any comments / crits.

    Cheers
    Macky

    Wow, what a huge job!
    Everything looks bright and cheerful too.
    That is exactly the kind of place I never took my kids to.
    Justis once climbed up inside a play thingie at a McDonald’s and it took an hour to get him back out.
    And you can be sure I paddled his butt when we got to the car.
    hahaha
    Love….Jill

    Amazing, well done.

    Never mind a full week printing, must have taken quite a bit of design time too, or was this all supplied?

    Hi Graeme

    Yep, all original design and the process took a few weeks to get the agreed layout. It was good in that we were able to design and control the theme for the whole centre.

    You ain’t the only one. I would have found something like that so daunting.

    Well done… Looks great!!

    Where’s a ‘jaw drop’ smiley when you need it 😮

    Fantastic job. It’s the design as much as anything that impresses me.

    David with a project like that it’s not surprising you haven’t had time to post much lately !!

    Great work from start to finish, hope this place stays open a long time but not so sure they are as popular here in the UK as elsewhere.

    Stunning work – well done, you should be very proud of that.

    And the kids’ll love it. Lovely bright colours and a cheery atmosphere.

    The installation must have been pretty daunting too.

    Respect :appl:

    Very good indeed. Did you mount all the prints onto the dibond by hand?

    Amazing! Fantastic, from design to installation. As has been said, I wouldn’t have known where to start!

    Congratulations, if that doesn’t get you noticed, I don’t know what will!

    Hi Jon

    All the prints were mounted using our laminator – better finish than by hand although not really quicker.

    Thanks all for the comments.

    Pity the sign industry awards have not materialised this year, that would have certainly been an odds on favourite for a top award
