In turn, Olsen hired bluemedia to develop a series of soft-sided signs that demonstrate the diverse markets HP serves. Fittingly, the shop output the program on its HP Scitex XL using the machine’s eight-color setting, and fabricated the 21-ft. 8-in. x 12-ft. banners using 14-oz., matte-finish banner material.
THIRD PLACE
SPD developed a multimedia graphic package for Muzeo, an Anaheim, CA-based museum and cultural-arts center. To complement its brand-ID and web-design efforts, the firm “crafted a communication system that conveyed the brand to internal and external audiences, as well as [creating] an instantly recognizable identity through consistent … image, color and message.” Signtech partnered with SuperGraphics to fabricate the system. The framed graphics were printed with EFI-Vutek’s (Foster City, CA) UltraVu 5300 solvent-ink printer on Ultraflex’s (Randolph, NJ) Normandy® Pro 13-oz., white flexible substrate. Installers secured the system with Superstructure’s (Toronto) XLG framing system. The “History Walk” banners were similarly fabricated sans the frames.
