Media Walls 101
Media walls are a common sight at conferences, social events, trade shows, exhibitions, theatre events, and, of course, at famous red-carpet events. They are now frequently seen at parties, weddings, and other personal events, or as a backdrop for graduations, presentations, and more.
Often accompanied by media wall banners, they set the scene, forming a backdrop which highlights your brand, logo, or imagery. They can range from the simplest graphics, like your company or event name, to intricate designs with photo-quality media wall printing.
The medium used could be vinyl or fabric, and it can be attached to wood, or a frame, similar to a pull banner. Both can stand alone, making them portable and versatile. While a media wall might be a more expensive choice than some other forms of marketing, it is durable and can be used over and over again.
Choosing Your Materials
We mentioned that media walls are generally printed on vinyl or fabric. Here are some things to consider when choosing which is most suitable for your project:
- Fabric media walls tend to look more high end, but you need to make sure they are stretched properly. You don’t want to see wrinkles obscuring the graphics. These walls are likely to cost a little more as well.
- Vinyl media walls are more cost-effective and might stand up better to the elements. On the downside, they can be reflective, which is not so good for the paparazzi! You could, however, choose a vinyl with a matte finish to reduce glare.
Types of Media Wall
Custom media walls are offered in several different formats. The most popular ones are:
- Retractable media walls: These work in a similar way to a pull-up banner, but they are larger and longer. Printed as a single-sided option, they retract easily for transportation and take up a very small amount of floor space.
- Pop-Up media walls: Working on a similar principle to a marquee frame, these media walls take up a little more space than a pull-up. One of their advantages is you can have a double-sided display, with different graphics on each side. Once assembled, you also might need to weight the frame, to ensure it stays securely in place.
Design Features of a Media Wall
Choosing a design for your media wall can be as simple or intricate as you want. Minuteman Press, Northlakes, is on hand to help you decide which would be best for you. Some of the factors to think about include:
- Logo or image repetition: This method uses a single logo or image, which is repeated in horizontal or diagonal lines with space in between. This method can also be used with alternating logos and images. It’s a bit like a wallpaper design, with the pattern repeating and embedding itself in the eye of the viewer.
- Murals: Capture the eye of your target audience with a media wall printed with an image pertinent to your event or marketing campaign. These vibrant, colourful displays can highlight details or offers, such as a promotional giveaway.
- Multiple logos: An event might be sponsored by numerous companies, there may be a number of professional affiliates or lists of preferred clients. These types of media walls can reflect high levels of brand recognition and suggest your company has established networking capabilities.
- Single logo simplicity: Less can sometimes be more, with a media wall featuring just a single logo or brand image, standing out on its own.
