Exhibit & Display Design
Over the years, I've been involved in scores of exhibit and display projects. Everything from tiny 10 by 10 trade show booths to airport kiosks to giant agricultural expos. I've done design work covering thumbnail concepts, floor plans, traffic patterns, construction, graphics, set-up and even disposal.

A client had a large display ( I think it was about 40' x 60') which they used for one trade show, then put in storage. After a few years, it dawned on them that they were unlikely to ever use it again and the storage fees were mounting. Donating it to a non-profit, any non-profit, beats sending it to the landfill. "Larry, do a generic rendering of what this thing could look like, and if you spend more than a hour, it's too much."
An artifact from the past, from an in-plant display for a factory that made backhoe cabs. At the time (late 80s), the best way to make a wall-sized print was to have photographic enlargements made at 48 inches wide and then section them together. Sheesh.
