Public art - illustration promoting local soccer fields
This is one in a series of vinyl wrap illustrations I created for The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida. The illustrations are being used to beautify utility boxes at intersections throughout the city.
This specific box is at the intersection of Pines Boulevard and 196th Avenue on the southeast corner.
First I went on site and measured the box, then I submitted a sketch which was well received. I tried to make a design that was flexible for adjustment, but I did end up making a continuous image that wraps the whole box.
I created both a flat, scale, projection drawing of the box and created a 3D model in Sketchup. The model allowed me to see how the sketch would really fit wrapped around the box and the flattened projection was necessary to create final art that wraps seamlessly around the box.
Once I had final artwork I used Sketchup to apply it to my 3D model and see what the final product should look like on the box as well as see how it looks from the position of drivers sitting at different locations at the intersection.
I collaborated closely with the vinyl printer and installer (Color Reflections) to ensure that my vision makes it on to this utility box.
Be sure to look for this artwork at the intersection of Pines Boulevard and 196th Avenue on the southeast corner.
