Crafting a Memorable Visual Experience
At Baraka Gifts and Decor, the journey to creating a poster is a meticulous blend of artistry and precision. Owners Gavin, Balti, and Derrick are the maestros behind the scenes, orchestrating every step to ensure each poster is not just a product but a storytelling piece that resonates with emotions and memories.
Capturing the Essence of Cape Town
The process begins with an idea, a vision of capturing the essence of Cape Town and the Western Cape’s landmarks. The trio embarks on a creative expedition, photographing the scenic backdrops that will form the canvas of their posters. Using various digital tools they sketch the initial design, setting the stage for the visual narrative.
A Collaboration of Creativity
Their graphic designer then weaves magic into the rough outlines, transforming them into emotive, nostalgic, and visually stunning posters. It’s a collaboration that celebrates the iconic vistas of Cape Town, inviting locals and visitors alike to take a piece of its beauty home.
Commitment to Quality
Quality is the cornerstone of Baraka’s creations. The posters are printed on the finest 200gsm ProAlta Paper, known for its clarity and uncoated texture, with archival inks that promise longevity. The larger posters are carefully rolled into tubes, while smaller ones are secured with a backboard and plastic sleeves, ensuring they arrive in pristine condition.
The Difference is in the Details
Attention to detail is what sets a Baraka poster apart. The depth of the blacks, the richness of colors, and the perfect balance of saturation are meticulously calibrated. Multiple test prints precede the final batch, with a sample print undergoing approval to guarantee that only the best make it to the shelves.
Framing the Memories
Baraka also offers ready-made frames in A2, A3, A4, and A5 sizes, providing an affordable and convenient framing solution. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of black or the pristine simplicity of white, your poster can be framed within minutes, ready to adorn your walls.
A Hub of Artistic Talent
While the posters are available online, a visit to their shop in the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village is an experience in itself. It’s a treasure trove of artistic expressions, featuring a diverse collection of posters and art prints from talented artists across Cape Town and South Africa.
