Text On The Vertical
Which way should text go when running vertically for signage? Downward some would say, that's how many books do it; upward others would say, that's how our eyes naturally track; stacked would also be suggested. Which one should you follow? Well you be the judge because in fact, its is really down to personal opinion and what pleases your eyes.
To Cover... Or Not?
Picture this... You've got an awesome design on your company vehicle, and then you find out to your shock the car is not legal when you get your next WOF. Vehicle types MA, MB, MC and NA means a lot when it comes to vehicle graphics. Many passenger cars will not meet WOF regulations with decals on windows. We've done our share of research and question asking to highlight some passenger vehicle basics of what you need to know about what you plan to cover.
Video - The Adgraphix Difference
We made a video, well actually Sweet As Media made a video. We spend a lot of time and effort showcasing our work and our customers, but not so much including ourselves. Rest assured we don't have plans to make a habit of this cause we love to show off our creations more than anything.
Use Our Wheels
Don't get stuck ‘in’ when getting your vehicle wrapped! Booking your vehicle for signwriting with Adgraphix doesn't mean you'll have to spend the whole day unproductive in the office - instead of out on the road where you'd rather to be. Have a normal day by taking full advantage of our Holden Equinox courtesy vehicle which is all yours for the time it takes to signwrite your wheels, subject to availability and T&C's.
Judging Books By Covers
We all know the classic line aye... "Don't judge a book by its cover" - but like it or not, we make judgements every day. We prejudge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone, whether it be people, cars, food, shops, signage or business brands. Some of us care more than others about who and what we are choosing, but we all make decisions on these judgements based on what we have seen.
Adgraphix turns twenty
2019 is our twentieth year. Actually, March to be precise but we can't pinpoint the day - it's all a blur. One thing for sure is in a lot of ways things now still have a lot of simularities to 1999. We started out with a printer that had just been released, and still today we have a printer that's just been released. We love innovating, and providing Christchurch and New Zealand with the very latest options available. It's cool to have been part of some really creative uses of the technology we invest in (22 printing machines for the 20 years to be precise).
DIY Custom Wallpaper
How cool is this! Picture a feature wall in your home that is 100% unique to you. No-one else will have it! It's completely doable with our new service for wallcoverings at home. We give you the tools to create your own design, which we print and you install it yourself. We have created some (100% unique to us) fantastic designs for kids bedrooms that you'll love. There's even heaps of stock photography and patterns to choose from, with a choice for every room.
The East Frame
As New Zealand's leading printer of fence wrap, what an ideal project it was to produce these artworks for displaying in the community. The designs were produced by the very creative students from two schools in The East Frame, a project being run by Ōtākaro as part of the recovery plan. Read more to see what it is all about.
Christopher's Lion
On the 22nd March there will be an artwork auction fundraising for a young kidney disease sufferer Maddie Collins. We reproduced Christopher's Lion artwork from an original piece.
The Big Tour
We love showing off what we do. We run regular tours around our facility to help inspire existing and potential clients to what they can achieve. There's so much to what we do and seeing is the best way to truly understand - plus you get coffee!!!
