We can create entirely original concepts based on your ideas & brief that can then be presented to the client.

Step 1consultation

Vision’s design team will work with your team from the brief to final in-stallation of the branding.

Production of samples with design brief meetings are an essential part of the process. Our experience & constant search for new processes, products & display systems will ensure that you can choose from many different material options.

“Just want to thank you and all the guys in Vision for

helping me pull this together.

You guys are the best in the business and I wouldn’t

hesitate recommending you for any branding needs.

This is hopefully the first step in a few projects I hope

to roll out and will be in touch for the next phase.”

(Barry Lynch - PwC, Senior Graphic Designer)

step 2Concept Development

Developing a design concept is potentially the most rewarding or frustrating part of the design process.

Architects have focused on creating the perfect structural space that they would prefer to be complemented by and not overpowered by the final decor.

Page 8

Finding the balance between all the various factors that will influence the final design is es-sential. The design must appeal to its intended users at a variety of levels; function, usability, reliability, cost, shape & colour. The decision makers and stakeholders must all be taken into account so the final design has an appeal to the intended users & creates the required environment.

step 2Concept Development

Page 9 Communicating a companies brand & principles through direct or ab-stract visual media is part of our design culture.

In practice Vision’s team usually works with architects that have design concepts at varying stages of development that may require completion.

step 3amend design based on consultation

After the initial design concepts have been presented, Vision’s team will assess the clients comments and provide amended designs if required.

We accommodate for most file formats including Auto-cad .dwg files which we import into SketchUp to create a 3 dimensional representa-tion of the space where the design will be applied.

Page 10

Step 4finalise design & prep for poduction

When the final designs & samples have been approved & colour refer-ences and Pantone colours are confirmed, Vision’s art department will prepare all the files for print & production.The space that will be branded is physically measured to ensure that there are no discrepancies from the plans or that no changes have oc-curred on site.At this stage Vision then assigns a project manager to ensure that the installation is completed on time & on budget. The project manager will liaise with the Architect, Design, Production & Installation team.

Page 11

Project management

Page 12

Vision assigns a project manager to work with the building contractor, the architect & Vision’s design, production & installation teams.

They ensure that the branding projects keep to deadlines by coordinat-ing the areas ready for installation with the building contractor.

Project management

Page 13 As our product is typically the last element of the building process deadlines are normally short. It is essential that all glass is fitted on schedule & walls have been painted with sufficient drying time.

Any on site issues such as extras required or changes from client are dealt with immediately by the project manager & communicated to the relevant parties.

Vision’s involvement in the design, pro-duction & installation process ensures that standards and quality are adhered to throughout the whole process.

Printing process

Vision uses various printing processes to en-sure the finest quality print finish.

Our HP Latex printers offer high resolution printing process in water based inks that pro-duce more vivid & livelier colours. The eco-friendly printing process is especially applicable for hospitals, schools & sensitive environments where solvent based inks can

Page 15 give off fumes as well as being damaging to the environment.

All vinyl prints are laminated to ensure protec-tion from fading and general wear & tear. This makes the final print immune to most surface scratching & cleaning products.

Technical highlights

• The images are digitally printed at 1200dpi to create very realistic pictures.

• Up to 20 years display performance indoors, away from direct sun.

• Wide variety of textured and smooth wallpaper fabrics, self adhesive vinyl with gloss or matt protective laminate, optically clear and translucent frosted films.

Page 16

wall art Once the final design concept has been approved the wall art can be produced in a variety of different medias:

• Wall paper that is smooth, textured, fabric backed or PVC free.

• Self adhesive vinyls with gloss or matt laminates, highly adhesive or re-positionable.

• Writable white board vinyls combined with digital prints & graphics.

The following pages show examples of various projects Vision has completed with these differ-ent medias.

Page 17

Self adhesivevinyl

In high traffic areas the combination of a strong adhesive vinyl with a laminate ensures that there are no frayed edges or peeling. The lami-nate ensures robust protection against scratching, cleaning, fading.

Self adhesivevinyl

Vision uses a number of vinyl manufacturers including 3M, Avery & MACtac depending on the budget, application & finish required.

The use of vinyl removes the need for wallpaper paste & is easier to fit. Vinyls unlike wall papers can be applied to more difficult areas such as small returns on walls, doors & skirting. Combined with the laminate it is very robust in high traffic areas. Aesthetically the only disadvantage to wallpaper is that as it is a plastic product it must be overlapped rather than butt jointed like wallpaper.

Page 19

Digitally printed fabric backed wallpaper

This material gives a more traditional wallpaper effect. There are various types of smooth & textured finishes to choose from.

The wallpaper used for print is fabric backed and our channel suppliers provide 5 year warranty with the wallpaper. The wallpaper is class O fire rated.

printed white board film

A boring wall in an office can be turned into a beautiful feature and made useful by applying a special laminate that can act as a white board and can be written on & wiped clean.

Page 23

Printed white board film

White board films have a gloss finish and can be used with any type of white board markers.

Page 24

The wall featured here was designed, produced & installed for MasterCard. They required a white board wall that also had an inspira-tional theme.

Page 25

Texturedmaterials

Vision has produced a very stylish and robust range of durable wall and furniture coverings for interior decoration. With over 70 different finishes, the range includes leather, suede, brushed aluminium and many types of wood and fabric effects. The finish is backed with a very strong adhesive and the material is very robust completely transforming a surface to simulate the effect you require.Vision also recommends 3M Di-noc films that have a range of over 500 films simulating granite, marble, stucco and just about everything you need. The advantage of these films is that they can match existing surfaces and you can resurface the furniture, floors, walls or ceilings negating the need to rebuild or purchase new furniture an joinery.

Glass artPage 27

Vision has designed, produced & installed thousands of square metres of manifestations, prints & decoration for glass. From creating art on glass to act as an feature piece in a reception to purely functional mani-festations to providing privacy Vision’s designers will use many tech-niques & printing process combinations to complement the space.The following pages illustrate some of the projects we’ve worked on and various processes we use.

Printed frosted film

Using the latex digital process with different transparent & opaque films a wide variety of effects can be achieved.

These images show that with lower intensity internal lighting the images & colours are highlighted by the stronger external light.

Transform an unsightly view into a work of art and create privacy simul-taneously.

Page 28

Printed frosted film

This 1920’s themed restaurant wanted a more private space for diners. Vision’s designers procured photos from Czech photographer Jan Sau-deks collection that complemented the theme & colouring of the space whilst giving privacy yet allowing sufficient light transmission.

Page 29

printed frosted film

The high resolution of the HP Latex printing process gives the images stronger vibrant colours. The eco-friendly latex inks are water based and cause no damage to the environment or your health.

Page 30

Cut-out etched film

Health & safety regulations require markings on glass to prevent acci-dents. Typically these markings are squares or dots but these images il-lustrate that with a little imagination the glass can be enhanced by more creative designs. Different colour frosted manifestations can be used to complement the brand or interior colours.

Using high speed precision plotters we can create even the most intri-cate patterns or designs to create a feature on the glass.

Page 31

Cut-out etched film

The options are limitless when it comes to decorating your glass with etched window films. Add a distinctive designer style to your interiors by availing of our in-house design team.

Visions’ designers & installers have worked on hundreds of projects in the UK & Ireland, America, Sweden & mainland Europe installing thou-sands of square metres of window film & glass art.

Page 32

Printed transparent film

By printing on an optically clear film a different type of effect can be achieved. The images are transparent and appear to be printed directly onto the glass.

The digital printing is formatted & calibrated to each individual transpar-ent film. Vision prints many test runs to get the colours perfect for your image & design .

Page 33

Combination of printed cut out films

On some projects we have combined two types of film to the same piece of glass. Externally we will place a transparent film printed with an image and internally we will shadow the image with a cut out frosted or opaque film.

This creates a unique and original effect that is truly glass art.

Page 34

Coloured & digitally printed toughened glass

Page 35 Vision’s unique printing process prints directly onto glass panels 6-20mm depth with carefully selected images to create effects of natu-ral elements such as stone, granite, wood & abstract materials.

The toughened glass is treated so that the inks have permanent adhe-sion to the glass & are then sealed with different painting techniques to protect the image. Vision uses a variety of inks including ceramic inks to enhance the final image.

Coloured & digitally printed toughened glass

Page 36 The glass creates a permanent feature that will enhance many environ-ments such as bathrooms, spas, reception areas or any space that has water requiring a waterproof substrate.

Page 37

Coloured & digitally printed toughened glass

Vision can produce spray backed coloured glass or any type of high resolution digitally printed images. Different effects can be created with the digital printing process so that the images can be more transparent or completely cover the glass area .

Coloured & digitally printed toughened glass

Page 38

Vision works with various artists to present their work in the digitally printed glass format. This surreal abstract piece by French artist Aurelie Philippe complements the neutral colours of the marble tiles. Vision’s designers can help you to source completely original pieces of art or im-ages to create the perfect print for whatever application.

Glass magnetic white boards

Traditional white boards can leave traces of the pens used over time causing “ghosting”. Vision’s made to measure glass white boards will remove this problem and can also be combined with metal adding a magnetic effect. You can post notes and photos with the two accom-panying magnets, or write erasable messages with the erasable marker. Company logos, brand principles or a picture can also be added to the white board for a truly unique white board.

Raised letteringPage 43

Glass & acrylic displays

The picture featured shows acrylic panels laser etched that are housed in a stainless steel frame.. The frame is housing led lights that pass the light across the panel lighting up the etched letters.

This project was completed for UCD Dublin and was a feature in the Kevin Barry memorial building displaying the history of Kevin Barry. Vi-sion can design and make bespoke display solutions that will comple-ment the overall theme of your building.

Page 44

Glass way finder systems

Glass way finders have a number of advantages over acrylic. The toughened glass is more durable and cleans easier. Over time acrylic can scratch and become dull due to cleaning or unclean environment. Glass never loses its sparkle and retains its gleam even after many years. The image below shows a large toughened glass way finder system 10mm deep with the company colours sprayed on and baked to ensure longevity.

Page 45

led displays Vision designs & installs LED systems for indoor & outdoor applications.

Retail applications, reception walls, lobbies, window displays & outdoor events.

Vision can install the screens and manage the media content.

The latest SMD Technology can create very high resolution screens de-pending on the application.

Our recent projects: paypal

PayPal’s main reception wall sign was designed to reflect the impor-tance of people in its organisation. Using hundreds of profile pictures the wall became a background collage for the 20mm plastic raised letters.

Page 48

Our recent projects: paypal

An internal glass wall required a privacy solution that would not block natural light. Vision produced a design on the etched film that incorpo-rated various cities skylines reflecting the international scope of PayPal.

Viewing the glass as a medium for art can make it a feature that con-tributes to the rooms space and atmosphere.

Page 49

Our recent projects: metlife

Vision produced the branding for Metlife’s new European headquarters. The reception wall is made of rear painted toughened glass with the world map in cut out vinyl on the surface. The logo was made from built up polished stainless steel. The concrete pillar is covered in a 3M heavy grade silver vinyl. The city names in cut out vinyl are placed on individually to ensure they meet perfectly around the pillar.

Testimonials “Just a note to say thank you very much to you and your team for the big push to finish Metlifes’ fourth floor last week. I really appreciated the hard work and extra effort from the Vision team, particularly with that core wall - it looks very well. Many thanks!” (Olwen Kelleghan -Interior Designer of Henry J Lyons Arhitects)
