September 11 is a somber day of remembrance. For the Orange County Fire Authority in Irvine, it was particularly poignant. They had a beam from the twin towers delivered to them that they wanted to incorporate into a 9/11 memorial. This was when the Garden Grove Fire Station referred them to us for a flag wall mural in Irvine.
Creating the Backdrop for a 9/11 Memorial
We worked with the client to identify an alcove that would be ideally suited for the flag mural. Once again, we used differing opacities to give the flag a matte presentation that provides the image with a dimensional, realistic look. We marked the floor with the spacing for the beam to ensure that the mural would look its best behind it.
Mural Backdrops Work
Plenty of museums opt for murals when creating backdrops for displays of cultural and historical significance. Sometimes colorful, sometimes in black and white, these graphics succeed in setting the stage for what visitors to the venue are looking at. In this way, the images create a frame of reference that ties the presentations together.
In the business environment, you see murals at work when owners desire to set a specific tone for their establishments. Cases in point are restaurateurs who use murals to create backdrops for their dishes and dining experiences. For them, it is possible to change the overall look and feel of a restaurant virtually overnight with the installation of targeted wall graphics. It does away with the need for decorations that require regular dusting and cleaning.
In the retail sector, murals serve as backdrops for displays. There, they are designed to put shoppers in the mood for buying a particular product. A good example is the pair of dance shoes that a retailer might display against the backdrop of a nightclub scene. This type of image sets a stage that the customer then enters when shopping for the shoes.
In educational environments, murals assist with beautification and inspiration. These images make it possible to cover large wall surfaces that would otherwise look bare. Besides that, they are ideally suited for interior and exterior applications. In this way, they are as much at home on the building’s outside walls as they are inside the classrooms. There, they can create a unique atmosphere that might transport students to an alchemist’s laboratory or a writer’s studio.
