Paper Floor Graphics - outside.......

[GAC05]

Interesting project.
From what I can tell it looks like they used ....... wallpaper and paste to put it down.
Started coming apart as soon as they let tourists walk on it.

Yea, that's how I meant it to work....what BS.

Considering that this type of art is typically drawn in chalk, I guess paper that people tear up and take with them is about as durable.

why are they calling it a "sticker" Its uncoated bond paper applied with wheat paste.

Because it probably stuck to everyone's shoes as they walked on it.

Ah good, now I have an example of why you should use proper floor graphics! Thanks France.

With those deep nasty dirt, vegetation, etc filled crevices I don't think any material would stick besides something like 480 and you'd have to roll every inch of that. I sure wouldn't trust any of our regular outdoor pavement graphics on that surface.

At the least, they could have dropped Walk n Wall or Tex Walk and it'd have lasted longer and they wouldn't have had to resort to telling people to take what they can so that it doesn't end up as trash all over the city.

When the budget doesn't meet the concept.
"Texwalk is how much??
Let's just use paper it's only for one night."

It said most of the people tore it up to keep for souvenirs. It was not made to last a long time. The paper thing was a good idea.
