As we all know, a lot can happen in the first month of a newborn's existence. All those wonderful milestones and overwhelming sense of pride as you watch the evolution of a new soul.

So to has Yap!digital's first month been full of developmental achievements and proud moments. Some notable ones include:-

• the new signage installed at Yap! HQ
• lots of blogging about some great digital signage projects from around the globe at our website: www.yapdigital.com.au/blog/
• a great new digital pylon project has just left the workshops and is en route to it's new home
• plus some great news on our facial recognition prototype that people are getting very interested about

There's often disbelief when I explain to people all the trades involved in making a sign. Surely it cant be that involved?

Just add a bit of this, and a slap of that, and hammer it together (thinks the layman!). Well, sadly not so!

Over the next while I will be finding some "tools of the trade" around our workshops and offices and featuring some of the uses, skills, techniques and reasons why signage is not always as simple as you think...

So in no order of importance or merit, today's tool of the trade is the humble nail ...

​This set of nails have just been spraypainted prior to use on signage work. Keeping the nails to the exact pantone of the sign ensures a quality result.

Clearly we couldn't do our trade without a fair few of these... and the picture below goes to show the lengths we'll go to to ensure your nails match your sign colour pantone, with a truly professional finish. 

This new digital pylon sign is under construction in our Unit 5. As you can see, it has yet to be 'dressed up' with all the fancy images, screens and logos, but is showing early promise!

The finished pylon will be 6 metres high and positioned at a high profile intersection in Perth's northern suburbs. There'll be 4 digital screens incorporated into the build... we'll bring you more construction shots as this evolves further.

Curved or straight?  No, not a personal question, but one of preference when it comes to LED digital screens.  Personally, I'm loving the new curved technology which includes convex or concave surfaces to create mind blowing displays both indoors and out. Panasonic have just released an impressive wall of six 4K curved OLED TVs formed from 3 convex screens, and 3 concave screens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGTKR4W_jIY
 
A recent example of one such application is London Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, who have upgraded its entrance with a 1,128-square-meter curved LED video display.
The display is tilted slightly towards the ground to directly engage with guests. It is 13.9 meters high and 81.2. meters wide and is designed with a 15-HD pixel layout to deliver consistent brightness under direct sunlight.
 
"Hosting Europe's largest LED video display is a proud point of difference and we expect that the sight of the screen will become an iconic element of everyone's visit to London Stadium and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park," Linda Lennon, chief executive of London Stadium, said in the release. "The LED video display will serve to inform and entertain our guests while delivering considerable value to our commercial partners, event owners and community groups."
 
Daktronics teamed up with EDS to install the display and provide the secondary steel to offer it support. The display uses Daktronics Venus Pro control suite for content management and scheduling, according to the release.
