This course explores how printed wall protection can support health, safety, and welfare through purposeful image-based design. Participants will learn how imagery can influence visual comfort, stress reduction, cognitive response, and emotional well-being in interior environments. The course also covers how to evaluate imagery for large scale applications and navigate key specification decisions, including sourcing, sampling, substrates, seaming, and submittals, to support hygienic, durable, and high performing spaces.
