Canberra Street Art & Urban Beautification
This street art was for the University of Canberra. The original project started with requesting me to create an
After some discussion, it was decided that an urban activation of this shared space would be a good extension to the original street art concept.
Overall Street Art Concept
I submitted two ideas for the design direction and focused on this one being the one to go with for its engaging playful nature and also the way it would expand to the surrounding urban area.
The street art painting for the ping pong table played on the idea of the way a ping pong ball bounces along with that of the way a rabbit hops. Thus the text “Let’s Bounce”.
Some additional graphics were created, eg the clouds, rabbit holes, mysterious cloud vapour and ping pong balls/circles that then could be used to integrate and activate the surrounding space.
The Final Urban Makeover
The application of the overall concept and graphics in the form of street art / urban beautification was extremely positive. Through the illustrations and graphics, this part of the University of Canberra has now become an activated space to engage students and staff to enjoy.
