Artist Emilia Kun Used Post-Up Stand’s Dye Sublimation Printers to Create Visually Stunning Art

Canadian textile artist and photographer Emilia Kun used Post-Up Stand’s dye sublimation technology to create vivid, graphic prints for Fallsview Casino Resort’s 21 Club restaurant.

This interesting collaboration between Kun and our company gave rise to various dye-sublimated fabric banners that are either mounted on canvas or sewn to create a quilt-like display. The artwork features digital prints of vibrantly colored abstract compositions, geometric shape arrangements and door entranceways, which give the illusion of three-dimensional depth.

C.R.A.P. Design Principles, and other Tips for Creating Eye-Catching Banner Graphics

Banner displays with eye-catching graphics can be an excellent way to promote your business or organization. Here are a few tips for creating an aesthetically pleasing and bold display to catches your audiences’ eyes:

  • Banner graphics need to be large and strong to make an impact. Hard-to-read fonts, small text, or weak images won’t grab anyone’s attention.
  • C.R.A.P. design principles – the four golden rules of graphic design – Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity.
  • Use the Rule of Thirds – Don’t place your graphic smack-dab in the center of your banner. Create a natural eye-flow by placing key graphics off-center, but not too close to each other.
