A 12 Story "Miracle" Wallscape Will Help Sick Kids To Be Kids Again

A magnificent 150 foot wallscape was unveiled this week in downtown Columbus Ohio. The twelve story building wrap project was designed and installed to commemorate Nationwide Children's Hospital and the miraculous, real life stories of healing that occur there each and every day. The wallscape's installation kicks off a collaborative partnership between Nationwide Insurance, Nationwide Children's Hospital and the city of Columbus that is called "Miracles at Play".

The wallscape highlights seven real-life children whose life-threatening illnesses and subsequent cures represent just a sample of the miraculous healing stories that have been taking place at Nationwide Children's Hospital for nearly 120 years.

The 150 foot tall wallscape with all its associated fabrication and cabling is among the the largest and most complex ever installed by Orange Barrel Media.

Miracles at Play Needs Your Support

Abigail Wexner, head of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Board of Directors commented on the Nationwide Children's quality of care at the unveiling ceremony this week.

"On an average day, nearly 3,000 children and their families turn to Nationwide Children's. We are here to provide the absolute best care for every one of them with the nation's finest pediatric physicians, researchers and staff. Most importantly, no child is turned away because of the family's inability to pay. This is only possible because of the amazing support we have here in Columbus. Miracles are made possible at Nationwide Children's because the people in this community care so much about all of our kids." -- Abigail Wexner, chair of Nationwide Children's Hospital Board of Directors

Let Custom Wallpaper Murals Capture Their Hearts And Minds

Take a moment to think back on the last time you visited a museum or an amusement park. Your mind will probably flash through your favorite exhibits or rides.

And if you focus more closely on your favorites, you'll most likely be able to recall the waiting environment with it's rich and elaborate interior design, complete with custom wallpaper.

You see, museum and amusement park designers are professionally trained to grab and focus our attention on whatever is necessary to immerse us in the realm of what they've created. They often use sound effects, music, color and lighting techniques that help prepare us for the coming experience.

In addition, they create lavish interiors using custom wallpaper designs that please the senses and provide ample stimulation.

The psychology of custom wallpaper murals

There's no question whether or not designers use the psychological boost that strategically placed wall colors can provide. There is much published about the psychology of color.

In addition to the powerful effects that are created by color alone, custom printed imagery enhances the user experience by providing rich visuals that can generate vivid excitement or sooth savage beasts. 

"LEGO had a 'color universe' with which we had to work. LEGO Group was extremely happy with everything we and Commerce Color did, and felt that the color quality of the murals was incredible--the best of the LEGOLAND Discovery Centres to date.

- Rich Hill, designer at Sally Corporation for Lego Land
