Síntese do concurso

We are building a house in Manly, Australia and we need illustrations that will be printed onto wallpaper.

If you wish to arrange the printing and wallpaper and arrange shipping that would be useful - it is not a requirement but we can pay you for the service. A bit of research with potential printers will help you understand what can and cant be done with bespoke wallpaper design and printing.

Manly has great historical importance in Australia, in particular as it was variously the place where European settlers first encountered and interacted with the native Aboriginal people. The prominent Aboriginal characters of Colonial-era Australia came from the area and this project seeks to depict their importance and stature.

After early peaceful encounters, Manly was the site at which the local Governor of the original European settlement was speared by a native and the place where the Europeans kidnapped two Aboriginals so that they could better understand Aboriginal culture.

The illustrations needed are of the following people. Please read beyond the links provided and use your research to help inform the colours that you want to use and what you wish to depict.

Bennelong & Colbey (also spelled Colebee, Colbee and Colby)
- both were kidnapped, 25 November 1789
- Bennelong was present at the spearing of Governor Phillip, 7 September 1790.
- Bennelong travelled by ship to meet the King in 1792

Barangaroo
- wife of Bennelong who strongly opposed his enthusiasm for dialogue with the Euopeans and his learning English
- attempted to lure Europeans ashore so her tribesmen could attack them

Pemulwuy
- an Aboriginal man from a tribe further to the South of Sydney who was hostile to Europeans and defended his people from their invasion.

Feedback do Empregador

“Ours was quite a tricky project that required high level artistic skills. The respondents needed to be excellent researchers with an eye for detail, storytelling and and in interest in local history (which is hard from the other side of the world!). adahertmann achieved everything that we wanted and was very impressive and friendly throughout.”

Hi everyone, I've got a few things to confirm:
* Wallpaper is for a bathroom that is 2.4m (height) x 4.4 m (width). A local printer tells us "this constitutes 4 drops at 2.5 high, making 10 metres in total. Commercial vinyls would be best for this project, such as Verona or Vernazza. Verona has the lightest texture so that might be best".
* Project has been extended by a week to allow me to work more closely with the best illustrators. Please keep asking questions!

Apologies I have been slow to add comments i only just saw this functionality. Here's some answers to common questions:
* it will be a repeated pattern rather than a mural
* pattern size about 1.5-2 square foot (45-60 cm squared)
* i will revert with printing technique
* i might guarantee it closer to the end date
* i will extend by 7 days shortly

Hi sir! i'm interested in helping you with this project! However i have few doubts, i'm not from australia, so i could only provide digital files to be printed, is that ok to you? the second of them is what kind of printing technique is it going to be used and what are the dimensions of the walls they'll be placed? thank you for your time, looking forward your help! Dairo.

  correct it would be a repeating pattern rather than one huge mural. more illustrations within the pattern would be great

Hello, in the wallpaper design you want historical locations illustrated as well? Could you name a few locations for ideas? I'll work on submitting an illustration of one of the people in the mean time. Thank you
