Our long-time partner Tube Art Group reached out with a request for production, fabrication, and installation of sustainable graphics for several of the eateries and the team space of the first carbon-neutral certified arena in the world. The timeline was tight and the arena huge, so we got to work.

In working with the designers at Populous and stake holders at CAA Icon, we first sought to understand the design intent and collaboratively find solutions that would keep the final products as close to the original artistic vision as possible.

Our prepress department scaled the supplied art to fit the walls as-built and avoid obstructions like TV’s, vents and pipes, frequently opting for Dreamscape Terralon Type II Wall covering. This material contains 31% post-consumer recycled content, so it’s perfect for clients looking to go green!

Color matching was another important component for this project. We worked to match the supplied PMS colors to ensure that the brands we touched were represented accurately and consistent to their individual brand guidelines. We adjusted files as needed to hit the color matches and made sure that they were adequate resolution to be printed at a large scale.

Project management also proved to be crucial to the success of this project. Our install team was working in close proximity to other trades and specialty groups, and we didn’t always have access to all areas that that we needed to have completed. So, we strategically produced graphics in phases. This let the install team get started as the graphics were completed for available areas to avoid having everything installed at the very last minute.
