Below
are the first two wall murals designed by CGA.
The Mercedes-Benz/Monterey mural is 10' x 8' and includes a photo
history of key Mercedes-Benz models from their very first auto to
their most recent innovation. They wanted to use a photo image of
a Monterey area recognizable landmark, the Bixby Bridge on the Pacific
Coast Highway. This original image was taken by Graham Flint for
the Gigapxl Project, and it's original resolution was 4000 pixels,
thus making this mural retain incredibly sharp detail even at close
viewing. This project is being considered by the Mercedes Corporation
for customization in all Mercedes-Benz showrooms.
