Art box project in Ontario blends graphics with augmented reality

Canton in Ontario gets transformed into a vibrant makeover because of the Canton City Planning Commission’s Art Box Project — a bold initiative transforming 12 graffiti-covered traffic control boxes along the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Grand Parade route into eye-catching public art. Using 3M IJ180mC-10SLS vinyl and an HP Latex 700, the team at Canton, Ohio-based ALD Decal & Graphics revamped these once-overlooked utility boxes and turned them into stunning historical showcases, each depicting a unique aspect of Canton’s rich history. From the birth of the NFL to William McKinley’s presidency, each box tells a story through intricate designs created by Dirk Rozich of D’sign Elixir.
