Winsford Subway Project
We recently worked on a wonderful hoarding project, transforming Winsford Subway. Working with Winsford Town Council and students and staff from Warrington and Vale Royal College, we fitted two lengths of hoarding at the underground subway.
The Level 3 Graphic Design Students at the college did themselves and the town proud, producing stunning artworks celebrating Winsford past and present. Using inspiration from well known graphic illustrator Ben Tallon, the students worked on architectural themes in a colourful and creative way.
Here at Johnsons, we were then able to reproduce the artwork in print. Using our AGFA workflow software, we printed directly onto 2 metre x 1100mm Aluminium hoarding panels. These were then coated with a gloss anti-graffiti laminate to protect this superb artwork.
The hoarding boards were installed after a Cover Meter Survey and Risk Assessment survey were completed. This enabled us to fit a framed bed to accept the hoarding panels. This allows for any future artwork projects to be easily added in the years to come. The hoarding installation is a little trickier than it looks but all 24 pieces of artwork were beautifully hung ready for the grand opening by students and staff from the college as well as Town Council staff.
The artworks look absolutely superb and completely transforms the subway. We produce many hoarding projects at Johnsons Printers and this goes down as one of the most stunning transformations of urban space.
Take a look at this article with the staff and Level 3 Graphic Design Students from Warrington & Vale Royal College with their work before this project was installed by clicking here. It was a pleasure to work with them.
Bespoke Hoarding Printing Projects
Johnsons Printers produce high quality hoarding print and marry this up with a bespoke fitting service. Our projects include working with artist Jenny Steele and Preston City Council’s MET (Mobile Event Tent) which offers a wonderful Spring and Summer Event schedule. This involved printing Jenny Steele’s beautiful artwork onto aluminium hoarding and fitting around four shipping containers. This is a truly remarkable project led by Professor Charles Quick of University of Central Lancashire. Take a look on Jenny’s site for more images of this wonderful artwork.
