Shaped 3D Board with A4 Pockets

This shaped 3D board with A4 pockets is built not from a single panel but from several strips of different heights. The strips with rounded ends are offset from one another and layered, so the board has depth: the edges cast shadows, and the surface no longer reads as a flat rectangle. The heading sits on a separate sign plate above the board.

Why the board has layers

A flat panel holds documents but does nothing for the mood of a room. Here the surface is split into strips, each standing forward of the next. The result is a relief that shows at an angle and from a distance — important for a school corridor or nursery hallway, where people walk past rather than stand in front of it.

Pockets on a shaped panel

The pockets are flat, clear plastic, for A4 sheets. They sit flush against the strips, so they do not stick out beyond the board's outline or catch on anything. The document is visible in full and can be changed without taking the panel off the wall.

Appliqué or printing

The design is produced in two ways. Appliqué is ORACAL film cut to outline: solid colour from the palette, clean letters, blocks of colour. Full-colour printing reproduces the whole image — a scene, a photo, a character, a gradient. The first method needs vector artwork; for the second, raster is fine too.

The difference between vector and raster files is covered in the article vector or raster graphics, and what the file you send should contain is in the article on print-ready artwork.
