Over the summer, we worked with Helena High School on ideas, mock up, designs, and ultimately a beautiful custom installation to welcome the students back to school this fall. Helena provided us with their school logo and branding guidelines, and from there we created additional graphics in their color scheme and font of choice to freshen up their hallways and common spaces.
We love how the final product turned out. Let’s run through the process of how this idea evolved to installation.
Step 1: Interior Shots and Mock Ups
First we needed to take interior shots and create mock ups for size and placement purposes. We knew that we would be creating a 8ft x 8ft, multilayer sign of the school logo for the lunch room and words for the hallways.
Step 2: Design and Proof Approval
Mock Up and design creation overlaps, but ultimately the next step is to complete any graphics in the works. Once the customer sends for final approval, our art department will render the files as needed for our wide format machines.
Step 3: Print and Cut
Next, our wide format department begins creating the physical product. Helena decided to go with several words throughout their hallways that were each 3 ft high by various widths. The longest word (English) is over 13 ft long. Here is an image of Science before cutting, English cut and stacked next to 2 - 4ft round school logos. These were all printed on white PVC board.
Step 4: Installation
The last step is when it all comes together. This is where the customer gets to see their and our hard work and collaboration pay off. Here’s a glimpse of the final install for Helena. The banners, large words and new logos add warmth and school spirit to these spaces and we just love the new look.
