Six markers provide historical content along a pedestrian and bicycle pathway over a three mile trail. Fiberglass embedment panels in steel upright frames are faced on both sides. One side provides content pertaining to the indigenous culture that inhabited the site during a specifi c period while the other side provides information on the archeological discovery process and interpretation.
Customs House Museum & Cultural Center (Clarksville, Tennessee)
A permanent exhibit titled "Challenge & Champions" was developed to showcase the achievements of sports figures from Montgomery County, Tennessee. The marketing scope of the project included communications planning, branding and logo development. The exhibit development scope included design concepts, space utilization, content research, writing/editing, coordination of fabrication and installation.
The Peoples Bank (Winder, Georgia)
The design and installation of high-impact signage and dimensional graphics in a central training facility created a permanent reminder to all employees of the bank's core values, mission and philosophies. Plaques and desk cubes placed in work stations and individual offices promoted even greater awareness of these credos. To gain additional employee "buy-in," a documentary-style video provided an insightful, entertaining and motivating orientation about "their" company.
