Sometimes our palette is an entire building facade...
When DECO Raleigh was moving around the corner to their second home on S. Salisbury Street, Pam wanted the building to make a statement. After a trip to Europe, she came back inspired to paint a mural or pattern on the new space.
We had some patterns from our initial logo work that really matched up to the images she saw in her travels. I got to sketching to see how we might bring the Art Deco fan motif to life. Once we had a good plan, we handed the project to Jim of Artcraft Signs. He did the hard part (the math!) and then we got to the fun part (the painting)!
It was a thrill to get to work on this project with Jim! It meant safety gear and hooking into the lift at night when we could use part of the street. The view from the top was a little dizzying if you looked too long... I had to get 'sea legs' to really get used to painting on the lift.
The mural is just another example of the creative genius that Pam has for her store and her brand. It's been so fun and such an honor to be a part of DECO Raleigh since the beginning... way back in 2012!
