Windows Phone
Occasionally we're asked to do the seemingly impossible task. When our friends at Hargrove Inc. hired us to concept design an event for the launch of the new Windows Phone OS we jumped at the opportunity. The catch was, we had only 48hrs to deliver!
The purpose of the party was to highlight the new OS features including a Web experience that goes beyond the browser, a smarter approach to apps, and communication features that make it easier for the user to connect and share with those who matter most.
Through the use of large LED displays, demo and user experience areas, visitors were provided with hands-on experiences that brought the new phone features to life. Attendees were encouraged share their share their experiences with all the cool new features on Twitter and Facebook. Posts were then displayed in real-time on a 4-sided rain curtain. 2011 Creative Direction, Exhibition Design, Graphic Design -

Sherwin Williams
Williams Gerard approached us to develop two concepts for a large corporate event for Sherwin Williams. The large stage needed to fill the arena and still connect with the audience.
The first concept was a dynamic and colorful rock 'n roll stage. Stage elements were "painted" with light providing versatility to constantly change the set over the duration of the event. For the second concept we proposed multiple layers of hanging panels and a multi-tiered stage deck. The "arrow" motif was repeated throughout the set, referencing Sherwin Williams' paint swatches. A large vertical screen in the center allowed for multiple session looks.
For both concepts we designed the theme graphics ensuring a consistent integration between stage and graphics. 2011 Creative Direction, Set Design, Graphic Design -

Macrovision
Working with our friends at the production house Red Giant Studio, we develop an integrated booth design and overall branding of the space. Our challenge was to create an environment that could easily communicate the complexities of their home media products.
The exhibit space created a virtual home media environment with multiple rooms to illustrate how the product flowed and worked through the home. The design employed contemporary materials alluding to a home of the future. The combination of opaque and transparent walls provide a unique meeting environment where conversations could take place in the "living room." 2011 Creative Direction, Exhibition Design, Graphic Design -

MonaVie
This concept design was developed with our friends at Williams Gerard for the MonaVie Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City's Convention Center. The stage design focused on staying connected with the audience at all times. This was accomplished by a number of key design decisions. The decking was multitiered, allowing the presenter to work the entire stage. Overhead a large truss, lit with LED, reached out over the audience. The center circular screen had an invisible slit allowing for a central entrance. Flanking on the left and right, were 4 large oversized rear projection screens allowing viewers towards the back to still feel connected to the presenters.

Motorola Razor
The concept uses the stage and lighting rig to split the room into two spaces, thus fulfilling the need for both stage and exhibit hall. Audience members were first welcomed into the stage area. Following the presentation, the audience was invited to enter the exhibit hall through the center of the stage, then proceed down a ramp into the exhibit hall to interact with the newly launched phone. This has both a dynamic conceptual effect as well as a great visual one.

Bob Woodruff Foundation
We were hired by Hargrove Inc. to provide design concepts for an event for the Bob Woodruff Foundation. The event functioned as both a fundraiser and an opportunity to honor veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. The event was designed to be held on the central staircase of the Grand Hall in the Reagan Building in Washington DC. Using visual cues from the vertical aspects of logo, we proposed an uplifting contemporary feel without being overly patriotic. The organic stage details contrasted beautifully with symmetrical order of building's architecture. In addition to the stage, we also designed a lounge for attendees before the event.
