Custom Trade Show Display for Hurst's 'Jaws of Life' product

This decidedly fun image is meant to simulate post-earthquake conditions in order to show off Hurst’s ‘Jaws of Life’ product’s life saving ability. This custom trade show display has a small footprint, but an epic visual impact rating.

If you were walking through a trade show’s usual forest of roll-up and pop-up displays, I am confident that this one would stand out incredibly, even though it only takes up a 10′ booth space at most (if you really scatter the rocks).
The display was made of materials light enough so that shipping costs don’t become prohibitive, with everything fitting in one light crate.
The majority of the work on this trade show display was done by our own Boyce McKinney. If you’re curious about what kind of designer it takes to do such a great job on a crumbling concrete wall , check out his girlfriend.

Large graphics printing and installation at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC

Last week we completed printing and installation of a huge set of graphics to complete a large display at the Bank of America (Panther’s) Stadium in Charlotte, NC. I’ve got a fun before and after image for you to flip back and forth on (I know you will). These large graphic displays are installations allowed to the marketing departments of companies (e.g. Coors Light) for a low to no cost in order to have the previously grungy smoking areas re-branded in an attractive fashion as a hang out with drinks and screens.

The floors and columns are covered in rough wrap vinyl, which conforms to every crevice and line of the swept concrete and cracked columns. With the conformable gloss laminate on the print, and the roughness of the surfaces it was applied to, these graphics really sparkle.

The before and after images were 2 days into install. The other two images show further refinement, as they were taken at completion.

A Quick Stage Set Design for Bank of America's Knowledge Channel

This is a quick stage set design put together by Gelbach Designs under the Bank of America Knowledge Channel’s Michael Petrosino (They call him ‘Petro’. How’s that for a manly nickname). Under Petro’s design, we provided simple frames, graphics for the frames, and a custom inlaid carpet with the Bank of America logo.

Studio Backdrops Design and Printing - University of California at Riverside

Today a new printed backdrop design goes out to the University of California at Riverside. The studio backdrop was designed and printed from an image sent to us by the client. The image needed slight adjustment, hoping for more vibrant colors. After touch up, as per our usual, we sent the client the edited image for approval. I thought you all might like to see the original as well:

Michael Balbi inlaying carpet as part of a custom job for Bank of America

As our common reader knows, we do just about anything. In this case, we are cutting and inlaying a logo made of one color of carpet into another color for a stage set layout. The speaker will be standing near the logo during the stage presentation for stockholders, while being surrounded by graphics we printed and attached to steel frames.

This is an image of Michael Balbi inlaying carpet as part of a custom job for Bank of America. He has his happy face on.
