This is 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.
First I went on site and measured the box, then I submitted sketches. I then 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. Once approved I prepared final, print ready files for the printer.
Some of the boxes feature augmented reality. You scan a QR code on the side of the box using the EyeJack app and you can see a part of the illustration animated on the box.
