Making Sure on the Shore!

One of the major concerns of our clients is to make sure the important areas in their mural their mural isn't eclipsed by a room feature, such as a table, bookcase or television.

Paul Soames is a good example of how we work with a client to make sure they see what the want to see behind their furnishings.

How we did this was quite simple: Paul took a picture using his smart phone, then sent us the picture via text.  He was careful to take the picture straight on, which eliminated any keystoning.

Paul then told us the portion of the Jersey Shore that he wanted on his wall. We sent back various views of his nautical chart in the exact height-to-width ratio of his wall.  Once he was happy with the mural as a whole, he wanted to make sure the Jersey Shore was not obliterated by his television set.  All we did was take the picture he sent, make it partially transparent, superimposed the two images and sent it back to him.  As you can see, his shoreline was clear to the viewer.

And this was the final result! Did it meet Paul's expectations? Shore 'nuff!

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
