CONCEPT Inspired by classic blue print patent drawings and the Knoll Studio drawing collection, this Eero Saarinen Tulip chair wall graphic brings the drawing board to life. The graphic is displayed inside the Tulip Conference Room of Parron Hall, an office interior furniture dealer and showroom that represents Knoll business furniture and DIRTT interior construction. With the original wall tiles being a plain white writable surface, Parron Hall wanted to explore the idea of using a local source to print on DIRTT tiles. After discussion and testing, we quickly found that a vinyl wrap, most commonly used to wrap cars, was the best solution. Spanning across seven tiles, the image was wrapped on each individual tile with the vinyl film. The Tulip Conference Room has since become one of the most used meeting rooms in the showroom and becomes a conversation piece during client tours.

CONCEPT Since seeing the movie “Free Willy” at the ripe age of 3, I have been hooked to the drawing board. Why may you ask, this movie? I found the orca whale to be mezmirizing. The high contrast of the black and white shaped by beautiful organic markings to mark the animal has been a feat that makes me stop in awe every single time. For me, killer whales...seem to shout design louder than terrestrial creatures can murmur it. [He is] all about form and function. His markings are as lovely as any in the animal kingdom. The ovoid of his white eye patch and the lobes of his white, tripartite belly patch make a beautiful geometry. His flukes are the finest sculpture in nature.” I would practice every day when I returned from school to master drawing the anatomy of this creature. Not only did drawing for countless hours help me refine my skill in reflecting this animal through paper and pencil, but it helped me to pay attention to every little detail of every drawing I have ever created. Before drawing a subject, being another orca, a lion, an elephant, a bird, I would carefully study images of these creatures and watch videos about how they move and act. In doing this research, it helped me to understand how to fully capture this animal according to its actions and demeanor. What I also enjoy so much about drawing animals, and even photographing them, is that you learn and see that these animals each have their own personality, whether it’s through the look of their eyes, or the angle they are presented, it is so important to capture in my work that each animal is their own individual to their species, and they have a specific story to tell.

CONCEPT Since the book of Nehemiah is about rebuilding the wall surrounding Jerusalem, we wanted to give the series a refreshing and clean look, along with a nod to architecture and community. Going with the architecture theme, I chose a set of modern day architecture images and paired them with organic earthy textured images to pull back to Biblical times where walls and buildings were made of clay brick. Behind the images is a light grid to reference blue prints. I believe it is important to include images of our Young Adult community into the series brand. The book of Nehemiah speaks volumes about how a community came together to build the wall in 52 days. 52 days! It’s amazing what can happen when everyone works together to further the Kingdom. Considering the direction the Young Adults ministry is going, I feel we need to include images of the people who make up our YA community. In doing so, this will show that we each play an instrumental part in working together to build God’s vision for this upcoming season for the YA ministry. We have scheduled a photo shoot down at the suspension pedestrian bridge by Petco park, which will pair nicely with the architecture line work shown in the images. The Nehemiah word mark was intentionally created to look like a staircase to go along with the tagline of “rise up + build”. The Futura sans serif font reflects a bold voice, reflecting that even while some people were against Nehemiah for building the wall, he built it anyway. I also tried to keep the “staircase” system up through the countdown posts by stacking the images vertically and horizontally to create the staircase look going up the feed.
