Parking Garage Murals: Hand-Painted at Whole Foods Baltimore

Parking Garage Murals in Baltimore

We painted parking garage murals at Whole Foods Market in Baltimore, Maryland. These murals are simple, and that is why they look good. Sometimes we come across mural projects that are far too complicated for their purpose. In any creative work, you want to make good use of color and line. For a commercial mural, however, it helps to limit the amount of work involved.

When You Design a Commercial Mural, Keep It Simple

A good designer understands the job and avoids unnecessary details that add cost and time. Streamlining your design keeps the project cost-effective. Here we have a two-color background image with a simple one-color lettering overlay. The result is warm and inviting. Shoppers heading in for fresh, healthy food see that commitment in the mural as they enter the store.

How Do We Make a Parking Garage Look Inviting?

With murals, of course. First, we paint the entire wall dark brown, using Sherwin-Williams paint. Next, we transfer the design to the wall and paint the rust-brown landscape. Between each layer of graphics and lettering, the wall must dry completely. Weather affects drying time, so humid or rainy days can slow the work. Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland plans each mural around the site and the season.

How We Finish Parking Garage Murals

The final step is the lettering. We transfer the outline of the lettering to the wall. Then we render the lettering by hand with a lettering brush. Once the mural is done, the garage looks bright and welcoming.

For another example, see the mural we painted in Fells Point for Bond Street Wharf. It is a large commercial mural in Baltimore.
