OUGD402 - Mural Graphics





 This particular job was issued by the company 'Bumble Bespoke Murals' who usually specialises in unique personal house murals and more commercial murals for nurseries and other businesses. The design work above was briefed to me by my mother who is a qualified hand sign writer and artist. She asked me to collaborate with her to create a design for a mural for a new nursery. The task asked of me was to create an underwater themed mock up design for the owner to have a visual representation of what the painted mural will look like. I had to also take into consideration the budget of the job and how much each element of the design would cost on the overall price. The children knocking the walls at a lower level was also taken into consideration so I arranged the contents of the design at a high level so that the painted mural would not be chipped away at a later date. It would also have cost too much to paint the whole wall blue so I devised a plan to use splatters of blue and yellow to represent the underwater theme. This also allowed the rooms to stay bright and justified there being a larger quantity of fish making the design as cost effective for the manager of the nursery as possible, allowing her to get better value for money on the mural.

The design utilised as many non copyrighted images as possible however, the images of the fish would turn out bespoke on the final painted mural so this was not a huge issue.

The finished painted mural is photographed below.
