About this Exhibition (source: that’s melbourne  website)

Battle-weary following the gruelling Guadalcanal campaign, the men of the First Marine Division, United States Marine Corps spent nine months in Victoria during 1943.  This exhibition examines the moving story of the Marine’s friendly invasion’ of Melbourne, where they developed enduring friendships with Australian women and families.  Drawing on oral interviews, letters and diaries, the exhibition challenges the myths and memories surrounding American servicemen in Australia during the Second World War.

To all of our clients, those who have been with us for years to those that have found us via this web door, we thank you for your continued support and business in 2009 and look forward to looking after your signage needs in 2010.

I mentioned recently that we are setting up a mini showroom in the foyer for Wall Scrawl.  Our first print for the main Wall Scrawl will be a Christmas theme using elements shown below.  We went off to Fotolia to buy the bits and bobs and will soon show you what we did with Santa and a couple of his reindeers as well as the patterned background.  Think Window decals and Wall Scrawl interlayers. 

A couple of our clients have now purchased Fotolia artwork which we have then printed on their behalf.  Am in the process of doing a pantry Wall Scrawl.   The design is a swirly pattern and will be printed using different strengths of white ink on clear with a watermarked background.  Very exciting.

Up until recently you could not print with white ink. But that has all changed now!

Juliette chose the branched artwork below from a selection presented to her via online royalty free image group Fotolia. Basically Juliette was looking for branches and wanted white on glass window panels with a black frame (see artwork setup below). She had the option of printing the white on clear film and applying to glass or we could forme cut from white film and apply as a cut piece. Printing is a more seamless application as it is printed on film and applied as one piece to the glass panel. Made to look like it is part of the glass rather than a decal sticker application on top of the glass which is how the forme cut application will appear up close. This image was applied to internal glass windows as an aesthetic and to functionally obscure view to neighbor.
