I recently completed a high-impact roadside lightbox design for The Hot Stone Pub & Grill, a venue known for live music, cocktails, and an energetic nightlife experience. This project was designed to stand out both day and night, capturing attention from a distance while clearly communicating the brand’s identity.
Design Concept
The concept focuses on vibrant nightlife energy, blending rich cosmic textures, dynamic lighting effects, and bold visuals that reflect music, entertainment, and social vibes. The glowing elements and color gradients were carefully chosen to perform well in UV lightbox printing, ensuring excellent visibility after dark.
Key visual elements include:
-
A bold, readable logo placement for instant brand recognition
-
Music-inspired graphics to highlight live performances
-
Cocktail and beer visuals to emphasize the bar experience
-
Strong contrast and color balance for roadside visibility
Technical Specifications
This design was created with professional outdoor printing standards in mind:
-
Dimensions: 40423 × 6378 pixels
-
Physical Size: 684.5 cm × 108 cm
-
Resolution: 150 DPI
-

The high resolution and large canvas ensure crisp results even at full roadside scale.
Tools & Workflow
The project was designed in Adobe Photoshop, using layered, editable elements to allow easy updates for future promotions, text changes, or branding adjustments. The final files are print-ready and suitable for large-format UV and backlit installations.
Final Thoughts
This lightbox design was crafted to attract attention, enhance brand presence, and communicate atmosphere at a glance. It’s a strong example of how thoughtful design can elevate physical advertising and create a lasting visual impression.
