The Sign Authority, Inc. recently installed a wall graphic for a business in Lisle, IL. This photo shows the graphic that is in the conference room. You might ask yourself, what is a wall graphic? Should I have one in my business? If you are a retailer, restaurant owner or do business in a corporate office, you might want to consider a wall graphic.

Before you consider a wall graphic for your business you should consider the following tips:
Prepress
- Design is the first step. Do you have an in-house graphic design team to put together your design? If not, The Sign Authority can help. If you have photos or images to use, you must understand that some images won’t translate well when enlarged. It is imparitive to have high quality, high resolution photos before you begin this step. You can purchase photos on many on-line websites to use if you don’t have any to start.
- Discuss your vision with your designer. Does the subject matter reflect your business? Do you want to motivate, relax or something else?
- Consider the characteristics of the entire space. Does the image work here? Who will be seeing it?
Site Survey
- I would suggest having a professional measure the space. If you are doing it yourself, record each edge: top, sides and bottom. Non-square walls may require design, print and installation adjustments.
- Be aware of architectural features.
- Plan for traffic flow in and out of the area.
- Note viewing distance and possible obstructions.
- Is there anything else in the area that will affect the print – chemical use, excess moisture or heat?
