Joy Macnab Properties: Reviving History through Custom Wallpaper Design
Located in Observatory, Cape Town, Joy Macnab Properties endeavored to imbue their office with historical allure by featuring an archival photograph of Lower Main Road from the late 1800s. Entrusted with this task, Imago Visual handled the scanning, imaging, and design of custom wallpaper to vividly reincarnate this slice of local history within their Lower Main Road offices.

Challenge
The project required precise scanning and restoration of an aged archival photograph, ensuring the final image remained faithful to its historical significance while being suitable for large-scale printing. The challenge was to integrate this historical element seamlessly into a contemporary office setting, marrying the past with modern design aesthetics.
What we did
- Utilised high-resolution scanning techniques to meticulously capture every detail of the historical photograph, preserving its authenticity.
- Enhanced the clarity of the scanned image, meticulously correcting imperfections to ensure optimal print quality.
- Developed custom wallpaper that not only complements the contemporary office decor but also prominently features the historical photograph. The design was carefully planned to fit the specific dimensions of the office space.
- Oversaw the printing process to guarantee that the wallpaper was produced to exacting standards. While installation was not within our remit, coordination with the client ensured smooth delivery.
