Following on from our last blog, we find in the beautiful and very historical setting of Charterhouse Square, a lovely colourful site hoarding designed by Velorose. This local design studio collaborates graphic designers, product designers and artists to mention a few - across a broad range of services that include refurbs, new builds, interiors, graphics, branding..the list goes on!
A lovely mix of pastel colours and imagery of Charterhouse square..Oh we do love a good hoarding!
Calling all Designers, Construction companies, Building managers, Property developers..
You know who you are!!
We’re seeing a massive trend in designed and printed site hoardings..Not only through our doors, but everywhere you look! A visual tonic for the eye, rather than seeing the usual plain plywood wooden panels (boring!). Why not print direct to the plywood!! We’ve been printing direct to these substrates for years now! Designers and agencies are getting commissioned more these days to produce some great looking design on these hoardings. It always has and always will be a huge platform for advertisement, highlighting the anticipation for the project ‘behind the hoarding’ even more. Give us a call now..!
The New Zealand Wine Annual Trade Tasting Event 2014 at Lindley Hall, at The Royal Horticultural Halls, was smooth on the palette this year. We were invited to print and install these great looking large hanging banners all around the hall.
London Zoo's latest instalment from MJ Group. The lovely new Lion enclosure is currently being built at the Zoo (the lions will be very pleased), and has been surrounded by two large hoarding sections. The Zoological Society of London's hoarding design sits very well after the print and installation this week! Large printed Di bond panels and PVC mesh printing made up this great project to work on.
Here's our latest project we've just completed, a full graphic, print and installation, for Clunky Doodles - aka Artist Duncan J. James..into an Espresso & Brew bar near Carnaby Street.
White cut vinyls for the windows. The large counter graphic, direct to substrate print, mounted and with a matt seal. Large prints above the stairs, direct to substrate print and matt sealed.
All the large murals were hand painted by Duncan onto the walls. The first ever ‘clunkydoodles’ gallery at the Speakeasy Espresso & Brew Bar, close to Carnaby Street – the best Barista experience in the West End.

Here's a project we just finished..we created a giant stencil for our client for a Cola-Cola PR stunt outside the Royal Albert Hall. 1200 Coke bottles were used to create the name 'Albert' and Coke swoosh..share a coke.
The work behind the scenes. Lots of prototyping/artworking with this project. We had to get 1200 to fit the letter stencils. We finally produced 1.6m x 1.2m stencil cut outs on e-flute for the picture to emerge!
“Nice words from the client too:
I just wanted to let you know that the stencil was fantastic and the shoot worked really well on Monday. Thank you so much for all your help and for making it happen as I know it was turned around very quickly in the end.”
The WAF awards are integral to the fabric of the World Architecture Festival. Architects from across the globe enter projects in a wide variety of sectors from hotels to houses, future masterplans to hospitals. Every short listed scheme is presented and judged live at WAF. Award category sponsorship enables you to support architectural excellence while engaging directly with the architects as they celebrate their achievements and plan their next project.
MJ Group, have been involved with WAF since being one of the main sponsors of the sister event INSIDE -www.insidefestival.com in Barcelona in 2010.
As the WAF approved UK provider for the competition entry boards, this year we have handled over 150 entries from nearly 100 architects worldwide. Each architect from around the world that enters a project (some enter up to 6 projects) must submit two A2 sized display boards per project for judging here in the UK. To save on cost and the chance of damage or lose shipping from abroad they come to us for production and delivery.
This year the WAF will be held in at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 1-3 October and we've been receiving up to 100+ enquiries and questions on some mornings, from architects around the world, who are all seeking worldwide exposure and global industry acclaim with their competition entries.
