Our customer First Restoration DKI has frequently donated their time and effort to help in the Extreme Makeover Home Edition projects.
They came to us before the recently filmed show in the Charlotte area. We had already marked their trucks with reflective graphics but they wanted to identify other equipment that would be seen at the project. We made reflective magnetic signs that can be switched from one piece of equipment to another.
Nichols Foodservice came to us to update their image for their vehicle graphics. Being a food distributor it was especially important to keep the design simple and clean to represent the care they take with the products carried. They also wanted to stress that they are an employee owned company and they consider their relationship with customers a partnership.
Recently we were contacted by one of our customers and asked to help with signs for their customer Mystery Brewing. Mystery Brewing is a craft beer manufacturer that’s growing and moving into a larger facility.
Working together we all developed a plan for signs and identification that fit the style of this 130 year old historic building.
One solution for interior graphics was 3M’s 8624 textured wall graphics vinyl. Since the material conforms to the shape and texture of the brick it resembles the old hand painted signs.

The City of Asheville has added hybrid buses to their fleet. We just completed manufacturing and installing graphics on five new hybrid buses. The blue in the upper portion is paint color with cut lettering and the lower portion was printed and handled as a partial wrap.
We recently completed graphics for a convenience store near Lake Murry (SC). Lake Murray has a series of water intake towers right beside the dam. It’s a landmark for everyone in the area. The drink fountain was enclosed and we wrapped the structure with graphics to simulate a boathouse with the towers as the focal point.
The Contemporary Art Museum is about to open on W. Martin St. in downtown Raleigh. We worked with them to raise interest in the museum.
Four different designs of sidewalk graphics were placed on over a mile of sidewalks to direct you and let you know the opening date of the museum. You can read an article at the News & Observer http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/04/24/1147920/cam.html
We again have the honor of working with the Raleigh Arts Commission for their Art On The Move progarm. Twelve transit buses are a showcase of local art talent. Local artists have submitted their designs to the Arts Commission and judges the submissions and selects the winners. 
A large part of my business helping convenience stores upgrade their interior graphics image.
This graphics package started with a client meeting in the store. Detailed measurements and photos were taken for our designers to work with. Listening to the client desires (colors, etc.) I turn this information over to our designers. The challenge is creating a design that can work in multiple locations when each store can be a different layout.
For this customer they provided photos of local landmarks that were included in the design. The photos add a personal home town touch to the design.

Gallery wrap images are getting a lot of attention with our customers. The images are digitally printed on canvas and then covered with a protective varnish and wrapped around a wooden frame. The two gallery wraps above are unique with the curved tops. They required making a special frame for the shape. These wraps also fit into a recessed area in the bricks.
