We began with this project when the addition was being built and the walls were just going up. We walked through the initial customer experience and developed ways to engage the guests. We have added new displays and challenged the guest experience over the years looking for new ways to tell the Harvester story. We continue to design, fabricate displays, produce graphics and maintain the displays throughout the center and plant. 

This was a team project that included the architect, school administrators, teachers, school IT people and students. As the project was being built we were working together to determine the story they wanted to tell, how to direct people through this new space and where can we engage the students, teachers, etc. The IT team handled the monitors and interactive content. The students chose quotes and direction. The teachers helped us showcase artwork and trophies and provided school images. School administrators helped us with historical items and content. We pulled it all together with our design. Once the plan and design were approved we finalized and produced the graphics, fabricated the displays and installed onsite.

The assignment transforming a space into a completely new direction around new interactive displays all focused on various aspects of science. Our challenge was to create the environment these displays would be a part of, define the spaces and direct people to the next area. Each area had its own challenges with different wall textures and materials as well as planning for spaces. We used color and full graphics to change and define the areas. Light boxes, graphic panels and stands explain the topics and draw people into the various spaces. We used window graphics to distract people from the outside. An outdoor water space was the last addition.

John Deere Cylinder wanted to update the space that told their story for guests and employees. After many conversations, this became a full renovation, we expanded the size of the room, added climate control, adjusted the lighting, added new flooring while planning the guest experience and story. We designed and produced the displays that reflected the hydraulic cylinders produced at Cylinder. They did cutaways of their key products that we showcased with individual cases and lighting. The room became a walking story of all their products from the smallest applications to the largest, reflected their history and the Deere values. We updated the entrance with large graphics and room to add a display case with a cutaway of a hydraulic cylinder.

This project was a great opportunity to show off all the accomplishments of Nahant Marsh and the impact they have on the environment. The walls on their whole addition were used to tell the story of Nahant Marsh. We designed, produced and installed all the graphics. We added sound buffers to the ceiling to help contain the noise. This project also included building signs and a graphic dedicated to a long-time supporter in one of their look outs.

Nortrax is a John Deere dealer group with locations in the US and Canada. We design and develop custom graphics for new and renovating dealerships. We have a set of core graphics we modify for each location and then customize additional graphics to each location. We work with Deere architects and the Nortrax marketing team to determine the plan and present our concepts. We then produce the graphics and install onsite.

The corporate offices for Alcoa had a great space to showcase all their awards. Opposite the elevator doors, this exhibits greets guests with the brand and the many points of pride Alcoa has earned. This has since been updated to reflect their new Arconic brand.

Bald Eagle Days is a well known event in the Quad Cities. Alcoa, now Arconic, has been a sponsor for many of those years. This booth showcases their live streaming Arconic Eagle Cam and reminds people of the community-mindedness of Arconic and its employees.

Designing a nontraditional recognition wall for the Bettendorf Public Library Foundation led us to a fun way to show this library is about content more than just books with hanging dimensional letters. With their remodel we also did logo panels and way finding hanging signs in the main library.

Electro Freeze went beyond just showcasing their equipment at their trade shows. They used their machines to tell their story. From products they served to their clients that have them in their stores. Instead of having machines that looked similar each piece took on a new life and gave their booth and products the focus they needed to draw people and leave an impression.

This simple way finding system is located as people enter the building so they can quickly and easily find their doctor. It is easy to manage and update, and the graphics reflect the company's brand.

Gypsoil participates in trade shows and events across the midwest throughout the year. Their sales team needed a variety of options for different size booths and to have enough to use at events that overlapped. Their overall system includes 2 10' back walls with counters and iPad stands. The two 10' back walls can be used separately or put together for a 20' booth. The back wall allows for monitors so the content is customized for each show as needed. The back walls and banner stands can be easily shipped or put in vehicles for transport.

John Deere Harvester Works takes a lot of pride in their community initiatives. One of these is a personal experience for kids that are sick and have a wish to visit / tour their facility. This is a wall within the plant that recognizes the kids and the Harvester teams that have been through in recent years. We had the wall painted to separate from other walls in the plant, then designed and produced the graphics so it looks cohesive as is with plenty of room to add new kids as they come through. 

This traveling display focused on a new feature in the combine. It is easy to transport, set up and change out graphics as the message changes from introducing the feature to results and impact this feature is having in the field. We designed, fabricated the display and the crate for shipping.

This exhibit had ended up in boxes in a closet after losing its original home. The River Bandits offered to give it a permanent home and we were hired to bring it back to life. We created wall graphics to define the exhibit that features an area for the current inductees. It is simple to update annually by moving the plaques to the main wall and updating the three current inductees graphic and adding their plaques.
