Training Design

Training Design sets out how artwork is prepared, checked and handed over before wall graphics go to print or installation. It helps South African décor teams read scale correctly, match files to site conditions, and avoid preventable errors on wall applications.

Artwork prep before installation

Training Design deals with the artwork side of staff preparation before a live installation begins. Your team can use design examples, setup guidance and clearer working references for wall applications.

Begin with the surface itself, not the artwork. Freshly painted walls, rough plaster, high-humidity coastal rooms, and tenant fit-out rules all change how a design should be set up for print and fitting. Teams working in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and other South African sites also need to account for access times, lift sizes, and power interruptions when reviewing layouts.

A clear visual record matters at the training stage. Site photos, measured widths, socket positions and cornice details should sit with the artwork file so the designer and installer are reading the same wall. That record is especially useful when panels are reprinted, resized or split for transport.

What the training pack covers

The focus is on artwork examples, scaling habits and setup checks for wall décor work. Staff can compare panel joins, trim allowances, crop areas and placement notes before anything reaches production. Good training documents reduce guesswork when several people touch the same project.

Use Training Design alongside substrate choices and artwork records when a wall concept moves toward sign-off. Before submitting through the contact form, confirm the final file name, panel order and finished size. That keeps the design note tied to the correct wall application.

Gauteng to coast design checks

Training work must reflect the spaces this trade deals with every day. Apartment passages, office reception walls, retail display areas, hospitality corridors and showroom features all need different artwork handling, viewing distances and installation allowances across Gauteng, KZN and the Western Cape. Existing brand guides, supplied art and landlord rules should be listed before layouts are approved.

Moisture near the coast can influence adhesives, cure times and the way some wall finishes behave during fitting. Inland dust, traffic marks and strong sunlight change cleaning advice and colour perception on installed pieces. Load-shedding also affects print scheduling, proof review and the timing of installation teams on site.

Information to send with artwork

Include wall measurements, photographs, room use, finish type and any previous installation problems when preparing a Training Design request. Marking windows, doors, bulkheads and plug points on the image gives the design team a usable starting reference.

Save the note while approvals, dimensions and visual references are still accurate. It should sit with the artwork file, client sign-off and placement sketch so the next person in the chain can check the wall design against the site details.
