There’s something special about walking into a space and seeing clean, bold, professional graphics that actually make you stop and look. That’s exactly the kind of impact we aimed for when we partnered with the University of Tennessee’s Office of Communications.

For this project, we produced and installed a stunning series of photo prints on acrylic, each mounted with brushed aluminum standoffs. The final result? Sleek, high-end displays that feel right at home in a university setting – refined, modern, and built to last.

Why Acrylic?

We get asked all the time: “Why go with acrylic over something like foam board or canvas?”

Here’s why acrylic is one of our favorite options:

  • Depth & Clarity: Photos printed on acrylic just pop. The colors are more vibrant, the details are sharper, and the gloss gives the image a dimensional quality you just don’t get with flat prints.

  • Durability: Acrylic is tough. It holds up better over time, resists scratches, and doesn’t warp. In high-traffic spaces like a university hallway or office, that matters.

  • Polished Look: When you pair acrylic with brushed aluminum standoffs, you get a floating effect that feels both modern and timeless. It adds depth to the wall and a little wow factor to the room.

A Picture-Perfect Finish

The UT Communications team was incredible to work with – collaborative, creative, and focused on getting it right. They had a strong vision for showcasing key moments and people from across the university, and we were honored to help bring that to life.

Every photo now hangs proudly on the wall, looking like it belongs in a gallery, not just an office hallway. And the best part? It’s as durable and low-maintenance as it is beautiful.

Thinking about stepping up your display game? Acrylic prints might just be your new best friend. They’re sleek, professional, and built to last – and we’d love to help you make them shine in your space.

Let’s make something bold together.
