Large Format & Lenticular Printing: Who We've Done It For

A Little Country in the Big City
Originally it was intended to be a landscaping job, but after careful thought, it became a "bridgescaping" job. As part of the Kansas City Convention Center Grand Ballroom Project, a decision was made to place abstract decorative panels on the eastern guard rail of the Wyandotte Street Bridge over Interstate 670.
This site-specific modular system features full-color landscape graphics of trees and other plant life that are native to the Kansas City area. Each decorative panel fits into a rectangular slot, and each panel has its own fluorescent light, thus providing a softly lit pedestrian walkway that connects the vibrant Crossroads district to a rejuvenated downtown. Not all of the rectangles are filled with art. Some are filled with wire mesh, which offers a beguiling panorama of native flora transitioning into urban towers.
Digital Lagoon was selected to print these large-format decorative panels for the Wyandotte Street Bridge. In all, it took 47 full-color panels printed directly on a special frosted acrylic, with each panel measuring 22 x 97 inches. A walk across the bridge now offers a unique and colorful perspective of the city through graphic windows. At Digital Lagoon, we consider it a privilege to be a part of our community's downtown renaissance.
