Signs Express Birmingham made a key contribution to supply and installation of supersized book that sat in front of Birmingham’s Council House in March.
Â
Affectionately known as ‘The Floozie in the Jacuzzi’, the art installation was commissioned by the council to commemorate International Women’s Day and World Book Day.
Â
The book, which was published in October 2018, celebrates 30 women of Birmingham past and present as part of a city-wide campaign to mark the centenaries of the first women getting the vote and the First World War ending.
Â
The book – more than 3m2 – featured a fabricated steel cantilever framework clad with folded and powder-coated aluminium casings to replicate the cover and pages. Digitally printed vinyl mirrored the design of the internal pages and CAD cut vinyl to the outer cover included chrome gold-effect text to replicate the printed book.
