John Deere Harvester Recognition Wall
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.

These projects are designed to sell, sell, sell.

DMW designed, produced, and printed the handbooks to be easy-to-read, quick references. The formats for each book are consistent, so people know where to look no matter what equipment they’re selling. Digital sales guides designed for tablets have quick menus that allow dealers to access the products they need, quickly compare information, view videos, and show the customer specific features and benefits.

The challenge with this project was to not only update an older looking brand but also represent what libraries are and could be future forward.

We designed street light banners with the new brand and messaging as well.

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.

Putnam Museum Science Center
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.

River Bend Foodbank Branding
What began as a simple project to do some updated truck decals and possible 35th anniversary graphics became a full branding project. We updated the look of the logo without changing it completely so it didn't lose any of its brand identity but looked current and related more closely to the dynamic group this organization is today. We provided updated branding guidelines and files. Since then we have designed and produced trailer, van and vehicle graphics. Print collateral and info graphics. We worked with them to provide working templates that reflect the brand but give them control of content and production. We also did environmental graphics throughout the warehouse to be part of walking tours and the volunteer experience.

John Deere Cylinder wanted to update the space that told their story for guests and employees.

The room became a walking story of all their products from the smallest applications to the largest, reflected their history and the Deere values.
