Few people know the perspiration, inspiration and work that evolve
into presenting a public face for an exhibit or other high profile
endeavor. To the layman, it is a cushy job without much stress. In
actuality, it is a highly competitive field with strict deadline
constraints.
The downside to exhibit design and graphics are the deadlines
with constant changes and fairly low pay. The upside is the ability to
remain “behind a curtain” while educating children and adults to the
wonders of life. It is akin to being an elf. The design, exhibit or
graphic magically appears and enlightens the viewer. The viewer usually
has no idea of the behind the scenes activities or the hard work that
has gone on to educate them. That is a successful exhibit.
Personally, I have been involved in the design, preparation
and graphics involved in numerous exhibits over the last 30 years. From
hanging paintings in galleries to designing and building a National
Geographic exhibit about Angkor Wat, all exhibits were important. They
all had the same value. They educated the public.
I want to thank all the individuals that I worked with,
through the years, for their dedication to educating the general
public. The exhibit viewer will never know the stress and hard work all
of us went through to complete exhibits that touched the minds of so
many individuals. Everyone may remember the King or Queen in an ancient
pyramid, nobody remembers who laid the cornerstone and completed the
building.
Please feel free to contact my company, ARTS (art-related
technical services), through this web site, for any unique, specialized
design and graphic projects.
The following pictures represent a small sample of my work in
design, graphics and preparation, sometimes all three in the same
exhibit. I am very proud of my role as an educator and craftsman.
