Hindley's Chop House - The Creation of a Man Cave

Local man Mark Hindley finally received the green light from his long-suffering partner to create the ultimate man-cave at home.

It was to include - of course - a bar, plus comfortable seating, big-screen TV

He came to Blackpool Signs & Graphics Ltd. MD John Leatherbarrow for inspiration.

The project was to include bar decals, window graphics, a floor graphic and custom wallpaper - all to be designed and produced in-house.

John first hand-drew a caricature line-drawing of Mark, which was then scanned into Photoshop and professionally coloured - this was to be the centre-piece of the 'Hindley's Chop House' logo.



Then the logo was designed...




Window graphics were designed and installed on the double glass doors leading into the new Man Cave. Glass-etch frost vinyl material was used along with an inlaid full colour printed vinyl graphic of the 'Hindley's Chop House' Logo.




Table-top graphics were produced using full colour printed vinyl wrap - laminated for ultimate protection, and easy to wipe clean from any beer spills.


The floor graphic was to be another vital centrepiece. This was printed on a special high-tack vinyl and laminated with an anti-slip tough laminate. Finally the graphic was contour cut and carefull applied to the Man Cave flooring.


Finally, custom wallpaper was designed to be installed onto the feature wall in the Man Cave. Printed onto digital wallpaper and pasted on - just like any high quality wall-covering. A special laminate protects the print and enables it to be wiped clean.


The finished project has made Mark Hindley the talk of the town and the envy of all his friends.

At the 'opening ceremony' Mark stated:

"We all knew that John Leatherbarrow was a 'creative' having seen examples of his work over the years - but this project is simply mind-blowing. Not only the creative design, but the graphics production and installation have been simply perfection. I couldn't be happier. John and his team are welcome here anytime for a beer!"
