Client

Location

Adelaide, South Australia

Space

Student chill-out area

Date

April 2023

THE BRIEF

A Space That Felt Too Flat

Tutors SA is an Adelaide tutoring centre for students from Reception to Year 12. Kids come through its doors every day, but the space didn’t show it. The walls were plain white and the student chill-out area felt flat, with nothing to say this was a place built for young people.

The idea was a mural for the chill-out area, painted in the Tutors SA brand colours, with a message to motivate students to be a little better every day.

We landed on a playful space theme, with a moon, stars, a floating astronaut and flowing purple waves, framing the words: “A little progress each day adds up to BIG RESULTS”.

THE PROCESS

From White Wall to Outer Space

Every shape was sketched, cut in and painted by hand in the Tutors SA brand colours.

1. Sketching

We sketched the moon, waves and lettering straight onto the white wall, scaled to fit around the electrical box.

2. First colours

The light blue moon went on first, rolled out to give the design its anchor.

3. Cutting in

Each purple wave was cut in by brush for smooth, clean curves.

We rolled the deep brand purple around the lettering, then added the stars and astronaut.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

★★★★★

“The mural has completely transformed our student chillout area into a vibrant, inspiring space that both students and staff adore. Diego blended the brand colours quite well in a futuristic theme and captured the essence of our commitment to igniting young minds. His creativity and the delivery exceeded my expectations.”
