Duggal Visual Solutions is proud to serve as a printing and graphics partner to colleges, universities and athletic programs across the U.S. With roots in New York City and facilities throughout the metropolitan area from Manhattan to Brooklyn and Long Island, we are especially pleased to support the world-class institutions in our backyard. Take, for example, Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island—home to many of our graphics and displays in action.
Lawrence Herbert School of Communication
The story of Pantone® comes to life—not just audibly, but visually—at the alma mater of the man who invented the global language of color. After graduating from Hofstra and serving in the Korean War, Lawrence Herbert joined Pantone Press, then a division of an advertising company. He went on to buy the business, rename it Pantone Inc., and develop the Pantone Matching System for colors. The university renamed its communications school in 2013 to honor Herbert’s accomplishments.
Duggal worked directly with the school’s dean, Mark Lukasiewicz, and his team to create a series of murals, photographic prints, dimensional panels, and lettering. Students returned from intersession to an enlivening and inspiring experience capturing the Herbert School’s past, present, and future—produced in perfectly matched Pantone® colors, of course.
Lawrence Herbert School of Communication Pt. 2
The School of Communication again tapped Duggal to help create an engaging wall mural highlighting the endless possibilities of creating video content shareable via social media. Their goal was to create an inspirational display that could be easily updated to stay current with the student body, despite emerging technologies and changes in social media. We were tasked with incorporating pertinent imagery in a vibrant, modern format to center around an existing TV screen, and designing a colorful mural that celebrates the vertical video format featuring a wall mural and custom plexi overlays to house images of current students.
