GOLD AWARD WINNER – YAGAN SQUARE LED/LCD DIGITAL KIOSKS

25 Oct GOLD AWARD WINNER – YAGAN SQUARE LED/LCD DIGITAL KIOSKS

ASGA GOLD AWARD WINNER 2018

Mention Yagan Square to anyone in WA and the significance of this new development is not lost – everyone has an opinion on this new public open space! Clearly the judges also thought that this standout design was a worthy winner, having just announced the Gold placing at this year’s Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) gala dinner in Sydney.

The Signs & Lines’ contribution to Yagan Square included wayfinding, building and award winning digital signage that combines with the other architectural elements of the Whadjuk culture.

The 3 metre tall, double sided freestanding digital kiosks, tipped in an angled brass hooding and base, provide Yagan Square visitors with digital content advising them of ‘Meet, Connect, Discover & Celebrate’ options – such as places of interest, events, promotions and news. Both kiosks have 75″, 3000 nit high bright display screens, with PCAP capacitive touch overlay film, and are designed for outdoor use with superior quality.  Given the nature of the public space, 8mm thick toughened glass was commissioned to provide extra security against vandalism.

The side cladding of the unique angled screen housing was made of 3mm 2 pac painted aluminium with the intricately folded hood being made from 1.2mm folded brass with a 10mm thick aged brass Yagan Square logo attached. The inner framework of the housing was specially constructed using a hinged mechanism so that the screen could be easily swung out for servicing.

In keeping with the look and feel of the environment, one of the challenges faced was aging the brass to make it look as if it had been in situ for years. Not as easy as it sounds!  The antique look was achieved by perfecting through countless testing. The aging process encompassed the use of acetic acid applied to the brass for predetermined time periods in order to achieve a consistent aging across the brass cladding panels.

Our design team created a suite of content aligned to  MRA (Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority) marketing, map and event information. The kiosks offer interactive touchscreen and display technology.

Our team delivered  a turnkey solution including design, software, hardware, manufacture, installation, content creation, content management, commissioning and after sales support.
