Size Guide

Depending on who your event is for there are various size variations to choose from.

For children we would suggest a square or landscape board so smaller children can reach the holes and adults can join in on their knees.

For adult boards we would suggest a portrait board, with 2 holes for faces, 3 if you are happy to compromise on the design a little.

Please note all of our boards are hand painted, we do not have the facilities to print. Our Face in the hole boards are the painted board only and do not come with legs attached to enable them to be free standing. Please ask for a photo on how this can easily be achieved once you receive your board if you are unsure.

Ordering:

Please send your enquiry to layona@artifexdesigns.co.uk or via the Contact Us form.

If your board is for an event or needed for a specific date, please allow time for the boards to be designed, signed off, painted and delivered. Please let us know when you enquire if you need it for a specific time to ensure we will have adequate time to complete it and get it to you.

Please note some times of the year are much busier than others, such as Halloween. The more notice you can provide the better please to ensure you don’t miss out. Should we be fully booked leading up to your event or deadline, we will add you to a waiting list and you will be contacted should anything change.

Where possible, please get in touch within plenty of time before you need your board. If your board and/or other artwork is for Halloween please get in touch as early as possible in the year to avoid dissappointment as this is a very busy time.

Collection or Delivery:

Collection available from The Artifex Studio, Smithbrook Kilns, Cranleigh, Surrey – GU6 8JJ

Delivery – due to the nature and size of these boards we use Anyvan, a door to door courier which minimises the risk of damage. Delivery fees are calculated at the time of ordering the courier. If you wish to be informed of the delivery fee before we book it in please let us know in advance. Once a delivery has been booked and paid it cannot be changed and will be added to your invoice.

Please note additional delivery fees apply and are not included in the product price.

Installing your board:

For permanent or very large boards we would suggest you install them onto posts firmly in the ground or on fences with safe pedestrian access both sides. For events and non-permanent locations you will need to attach legs to your board to make it free standing. If you board will be moved around please ensure you choose a size that will fit in your vehicle. A 3.5′ wide x 5′ high board will fit in most large cars with the back seats down, please measure before you order.

Concept to Creation

To get your board created, all you need to do is tell us your ideas, it really is as simple as that.

We will need to know:

Your chosen size and orientation
Number of holes for faces
Theme and/or any ideas you would like included in your design
Venue or event type
Any text you would like included
Simple logos, and a hi-res JPEG
When you would like to board for

Design and Paint Process:

Once we have the info above we will produce a hand-drawn design sketch for you to have a look at and make any changes.

Once we have a design you are happy with you, we will send you an Artwork Approval Form to sign and return, when we have this back we will get you booked into the diary.

We will contact you once your board has been completed to arrange delivery or collection.

Please note whilst we fully appreciate the importance of branding, please be aware that computer generated colours are not the same as paint colours however we will do our best to match should you require it.
Often businesses have computer generated graphics, please do send over what you use but again, computer generated graphics are a very different style to handpainted images and will look different.

We are unable to print computer generated graphics, we are handpainted boards only.
Thank you for your understanding on this.

Make it yours

If you are a farm park and your farmer is known for always wearing a blue cap, we can include that. If you are getting married and have a colour theme or are known for something specific, we can include that or if you have an iconic building, structure, vechicle etc Tell us about you, your business or your event and we will try to include as much as possible in the design.

The example above was designed for a group of friends who play a charity football match every year in memory of a friend they lost to Cystic Fibrosis. Alongside the football match they have a bouncy castle, face painting, glitter tattoos, BBQ, home made cakes and treats, raffle and much more. All the proceeds raised go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis charity.

The board was designed to depict friends playing football. The Freddie Mercury jacket was there as a memory of the jacket he was known for, his beloved cat, favourite games and movie characters. Along the bottom is the team colours and names and a nod to the charity with their rose logo on the top of the flag pole. A little something to remember with a smile to everyone who knew him.

Replace an old board

If you have a board already that is well used and loved by all but is looking a bit tired, let us give the design a make over and create you something new and super fun.

This modernised replacement board was designed based on their original for their summer Maize Maze.
