California PSP Delivers High-Tech Makeover for Video Game Developer HQ

RIOT GAMES’ NEW headquarters received a stunning visual upgrade, thanks to Gamut Media’s innovative wide-format print and installation work. Tasked with designing immersive interior graphics for the Los Angeles-based video game developer, publisher, and e-sports tournament organizer, the experienced print service provider delivered an ambitious project covering 1,800 square feet across two key areas: the main lobby and the 8th floor.

The heart of the installation was creating murals that seamlessly worked with projection mapping to bring the Riot Games’ world to life. The main lobby featured an Arcane-themed mural that, when illuminated, transformed into an underwater scene. Walls and elevator doors were wrapped in 3M DINOC black vinyl, serving as a perfect canvas for projected animations.

On the 8th floor, the Gamut Media team recreated and installed the Hex Crystal statue, originally from Riot Games’ previous campus. The challenge? The statue had to be scaled down by 20% and transported via a service elevator that was too small. The team disassembled and reassembled the statue on-site — a painstaking process that proved worthwhile.

Gamut Media used 3M IJ80 Cast Vinyl with a matte laminate for murals; a Roland DG TrueVIS LG-640 UV printer/cutter for printing; and a SUMMA F Series F1612 flatbed cutter for precise finishing. Also, for the first time, the team leveraged AI-powered upscaling to enhance low-resolution Arcane screenshots, ensuring crisp, high-quality prints.

The goal was to combine lighting and printed graphics to create a unique, immersive experience for staff and visitors to the building. “We went through many color tests and even used AI to make the resolution higher for the murals,” says Phillip Yu, Gamut’s Chief Creative Officer. “The two graphics provided for the murals were very low-resolution screen shots from Arcane, the Netflix series. This was our first time using AI to upscale resolution on a graphic. This project shows how fast technology is moving forward.”

By blending digital print, AI, and projection mapping, Gamut Media didn’t just install graphics — the firm redefined the visitor experience.
