Do I need council approval to set up a media wall in a public space?

If you’re setting up in a public venue, park, or footpath, you may need council or venue approval. For private indoor events, no permit is usually required. My advice is to check this early. Approval requirements vary by site and council, and it is much easier to resolve before we manufacture the sign.

What should I consider when designing a media wall for TV and photography?

Yes. Our design team can work from your logo, brand guidelines, photos and the space available. My preference is to design around how the sign will actually be viewed rather than simply make the logo as large as possible.

Can I customise the artwork on the media wall?

Yes. You can fully customise your wall with logos, branding, sponsors, step-and-repeat patterns, and event-specific artwork. High-resolution artwork is required for best print results. You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Send us your logo, brand guidelines if you have them, and a photo or dimensions; our design team can take it from there and you’ll see a proof before production.
