Yesterday we finished up an interesting project for our friends (and family) at Elite Flooring in Charlotte. You may have seen Rudy’s post last week about a little character he did for this as well. They are working on a new trade show booth, and asked us to help them with some graphics. The inspiration for the booth is ‘Monsters, Inc.’ and they wanted a series of large illustrations to create faux factory walls. The kicker… they needed to be done quickly. 7 illustrations in all.

The panels needed to have the feeling of 3D renderings, but there wasn’t enough time to actually model the environment. Instead over 4 days each panel was done with layers of texture in photoshop as well as a healthy bit of copy/paste to save time. Here is an animated layer by layer of a ‘computer module’ found on one of the panels.

The talented folks at Ferguson Design in Charlotte are constructing the booth, which will include large over size gears and a working door. The final booth should look something like this.

More images of the actual booth will be coming soon. The panels are being printed this afternoon.
