IPAD MINI – MURAL

This mural showcases Apple’s iPad mini in a minimalist and eye-catching manner. Featured on a wall in downtown Toronto on Adelaide Street.
254 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON

This mural was interesting because of the use of negative space. There was a lot of negative space. This was showcasing the iPad mini, so hence the small area the painting takes up.

Even though the space we had to paint was small it was no easy task. There are many layers to painting something like this. First, there is the background of the home screen, then the icon in which the icons have many layers all unto themselves. Lastly, there is the case of the iPad and then the cherry on top the shine that ever so gently cuts the image and creates a three dimension.

The main shape of the phone, ripples of water in the home screen and the hand holding the iPad were traced out by a digital projection. This was done at night, there are projectors that can be used in the day but they are very expensive and aren’t necessary for this type of project.

After we have the outline sometimes called the cartoon we then can start to paint, it can be tricky to paint certain areas because if you paint over your outlines then you lose your object. So you have to ever so slightly paint around the lines and then eventually after you have enough information you can paint over the whole area with the right colors.

For the icons, we used a vinyl stencil. Before we had the icon stencils cut we measure the size that the icons need to be, then in the illustrator program we make the size of the icon to match.

Even though the phone was limited to one small area we still had to paint out the rest of the wall because there was a mural there before. For this, we used an airless sprayer to paint out the area. This allows us to paint large areas fast.
