Catalogue
Software
Wall Art Designs briefs software paths and decor notes without brochure fluff. We keep file prep and substrate honest.
How Software land on a real South African week
Software only matters if the artwork leaves the screen correctly for the wall it is heading to. Here we note file setup, output checks, and the handover details that affect print quality, fitting, and finish on South African sites.
This is the catalogue we open when a buyer already understands the brief and needs the next practical step. Start with the wall surface, room use, and the issue that has already slowed the job once. Highveld dust, coastal humidity, and load-shedding all affect which artwork, material, or print path we brief first.
What we review before recommending a software path
Send one photo of the wall or room, the week you need the job fitted or delivered, and what has already gone wrong with the space, artwork, or previous finish. Vague wording wastes the morning.
Use the contact form with your city and two real site limits, rather than a long general brief. Whether the job is in Durban or Pretoria, our software notes start with the actual surface and the correct Wall Art Designs option.
File prep under SA site conditions
OR Tambo export weeks, Sunnyrock cut-offs, and second-tier mall showroom desks still shape décor planning. We write for teams ordering for real spaces, not blank template jobs. Coastal air changes cleaning and packing routines.
Inland dust affects how often sample boards and framed finishes need cleaning. Power cuts affect when proofs are checked and approved. Operated by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd from 2 Makro Place, Sunnyrock 1401.

Johannesburg software notes
For software planning, include the program name, version, export format and the size your artwork must leave the system at. It also helps to note whether the site uses Windows or Mac, and whether any access rules, hygiene requirements or limited plug points will affect setup on the day.
Sai Suite
sai suite is useful when artwork needs tidy layer control, paint edits, and clear export handling before print production. We check resolution, colour consistency, and whether the final file will hold up on larger wall graphics used in offices, retail interiors, and hospitality spaces.
Profile Cut
profile cut is reviewed when a job needs accurate contour cutting around logos, lettering, or shaped graphic elements. Blade direction, registration marks, and edge tolerance matter more once vinyl will be applied to textured walls or trimmed on site.
Vinyl Soft
vinyl soft suits wall applications where the finish must sit neatly without fighting the surface underneath. We look at adhesion against painted walls, movement in humid coastal conditions, and whether the artwork includes dark solids that show every handling mark.
Media Pack
A clear process for requesting a media pack in South Africa, written for decor teams who already work with site realities.
Template Kit
template kit helps when repeat layouts must line up across panels, corners, or recesses. Before anything is approved, we compare the template against site photos, measured widths, and any obstruction such as plugs, trims, bulkheads, or glazing beads.
Print Prep
print prep covers bleed, scale, embedded fonts, linked images, and output size before files go anywhere near production. One missing link or incorrect colour setting can change a wall job completely, especially on branded interiors with strict visual standards.
Training Design
training design is relevant where internal teams need artwork set up consistently across multiple branches or campaigns. We focus on repeatable file habits, naming logic, and the settings that reduce avoidable print errors during handover.
Spare License
spare license becomes relevant when more than one workstation must open, edit, or approve artwork during a live décor rollout. Access control, version confusion, and machine compatibility should be checked before files start moving between departments or suppliers.
Wall Mock
wall mock is used to test scale, placement, and reading distance before production is signed off. A good mock-up shows how the design sits against doors, skirtings, furniture lines, and ceiling drops, not just how it looks on a blank screen.
Substrate Card
substrate card is matched against the print method and the wall condition before material is selected. We compare surface grip, light reflection, cleaning needs, and how the chosen graphic stock will behave in Johannesburg dust, Durban moisture, or frequent aircon use.
