Colour co-ordinate your life with colourEverything

Enter a world of new possibilities with colourEverything - innovative custom design collections that can literally let you colour everything - wallpaper, mural paper, window film, fabric and ready to hang artworks. Simon Aldous, an Art/Creative Director with 17 years experience in four countries, offers a range of designs and artworks for sale that can be colour matched and sized to your specific requirements, including funky retro prints, rich deco patterns, bold nudes and personalised pop art.

Simon developed the colourEverything concept whilst studying in France. He noticed the revived popularity of wallpaper combined with digital images used in creating themed environments in hotels and bars. On his return to Australia he saw the market potential for printing co-ordinate designs on different materials such as canvas, wallpaper, fabric and glass films to create truly unique spaces. These are not limited to bars and hotels, but can be applied to retail concepts as well. After seeing the recent Flash wallpaper competition, Simon approached Flash to help make his concept a reality.

Design company 2PLIK8 from Brisbane had a unique project. Their client, Tent of Promise, runs a travelling church ministry and expo and wanted to produce a 30m x 2m one-piece “panorama” graphic banner illustrating the story of the bible from the beginning of the Old Testament right through to the end of the New Testament. The original brief was to create a vinyl ‘gloss’ look.
Peter and George, 2PLIK8 designers

The approach 
Flash believed that vinyl would not travel well and could end up looking a bit tired. The artwork designers; George Alhatis and Peter Carlos, were presented with the alternative of Polycotton, which hangs well and has a tactile look and feel.

George and Peter, at first sceptical, were impressed with the way that the Polycotton “added a touch of old school and class” to a piece that would have otherwise been no more than an indoor billboard. The product also lends itself well to ageing by creating an “historical” feel that will fit well with the religious element of its environment.

The outcome
The finished panorama was a resounding success, and 2PLIK8 was pleased with the reaction of Tent of Promise, “ They were awed at the final product we presented to them,” said Peter.

If Polycotton is the product you’ve been praying for, or you’d like to know more about this project, email philip.hargrave-smith@flash.com.au or call 0407 216 486 for more information.

Win tickets to see Sydney Dance Company's "Shades of Gray"

Flash Photobition continues its association with the Sydney Dance Company and is offering you the chance to win tickets to Graeme Murphy’s new full-length work, Shades of Gray, to be performed by the acclaimed dance company in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra.

Set amongst the heady club and fashion scene of the last few decades of the 20th century, the work cuts a swathe through the destructive decadence of this time. Underpinning the voyage is a multi-layered score drawing on an eclectic collection of music from contemporary classical to iconic 80s pop.

Flash Photobition has two Shades of Gray A Reserve tickets to giveaway for each of the following performances: Sydney Opera House, on Thursday 27 May & Monday 31 May; The Playhouse at QPAC in Brisbane, Thursday 17 June & Tuesday 22 June; The State Theatre at the Arts Centre in Melbourne, Friday 2 July and Tuesday 6 July and The Playhouse at the Canberra Theatre Centre, 15 July.

To win tickets, simply visit the Sydney Dance Company website: www.sydneydancecompany.com, and find out which character Shades of Gray is based on. Email jacqueline.conway@flash.com.au with your answer and you could soon be enjoying Graeme Murphy’s latest masterpiece in dance.
