I am David Lile, with David B Design, (www.davidbdesign.com) in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I created two each, custom designed, 25' X 12.5' montage murals, through Adobe Photoshop, for The Just Company, in Indianapolis, Indiana. One mural concept was based on Ellis island. The other mural was based on the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Just Company was nearing completion of their new 9,800 square foot financial planning building and we were ready to finally have the produced murals printed on vinyl wall covering.
I researched the Akron area first, because if possible, I wanted a local company to help fulfill my production needs, with my two montage murals.
I easily found DCI after doing a Google search on wide format printing and vinyl wall covering.
DCI Account Executive Mary Gelsomino, was extremely helpful and asked if I would like to come in and see DCI's facility before making a decision. Upon entering, I was impressed by the order and beauty of the building; all the way from the front office to the cleanliness of the wide format printing room. It was very impressive!
Mary worked with me in calculating the size and accompanying resolution needs of each mural. Being the production person between the Indianapolis contractor and DCI, I had to call her several times, during the pre-production process before the wide format printing occurred. Each time that I called, she answered every question. Mary was always friendly, businesslike and knowledgeable.
During the production process, DCI printed a one-fifth size version, of the wall murals, so I could check the color and resolution. The sample sizes were extremely helpful, in the final assessment of the two murals and allowed me to see just a few final needed corrections to fully finish the murals. My client also had the opportunity to view the samples and he was very impressed with the texture, color and quality of the vinyl wall covering.
Printing was very timely and the product was immediately shipped via UPS to Indianapolis and received within two days, by my client.
Both murals now stand fifteen feet, above the foyer area of their brand new building, so clients who come in, first see the murals, above them, on either side when entering the main foyer. Many clients have mentioned to their office staff, how moved they are, by viewing the murals. It has been a very personal touch, that creates a memorable emotional tie for the client, to The Just Company, and DCI played a key role in the generation of those emotional ties.
I can't say enough about DCI, from their help and expertise, on a personal level to production of the final product to The Just Company. As I continue to grow my design services, any wall covering montage murals that I produce and design, in the future, will continue to be done only through DCI. I deeply appreciate our business relationship.
This project was a total success, thanks to DCI.
