The Printroom Group were commissioned to design a mural canvas for the Bristol office of Zurich Insurance. The Printroom Group was given a brief from Zurich Insurance. The mural had to portray the city of Bristol and include famous landmarks such as the Annual Balloon Race, Brunel SS Great Britain and The Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Once designed, the mural would need to be printed onto a 16” x 63” canvas and mounted onto a bespoke frame.

The work started in our Graphic Design studio. Firstly our designers researched the city of Bristol and the heritage of the South West. They then drew up a plan and relayed the ideas back to the client. Once the landmarks and overall idea was agreed, our designers started to procure various images for the artwork. We then started to merge all the various images together and blend in the backgrounds.

Once the artwork had been approved the mural was printed onto a high end canvas stock and printed on our HP Photo Inkjet Poster Printers at 2400 dpi premium output using genuine HP UV curable ink in our large format room at our Head Office in Berkshire.

The canvas frame was a bespoke item that our highly skilled finishing department made exclusively for Zurich Insurance. Once made the canvas was carefully stretched over the bespoke frame.

The final item was a beautiful bespoke framed mural of Bristol.
