inside the economy museum exhibit: opportunity cost scale
The needle is a custom water jet cut, welded, and painted metal, interactive tool to line up the left and right side graphics. The custom background is an intricate vector circuit board used throughout other parts of the exhibit. The left and right printed panels sit within a black 80/20 extruded aluminum structure which is used on 90% of the museum installations.
The above graphic is an interactive needle that educates viewers on median income of various jobs ranging from lawyer to barista. This is the first part of the Inside the Economy museum I worked on for the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The museum was a joint effort between the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, PGAV and my company, Innovations in Art.
inside the economy museum exhibit: soffit stock ticker
By creating the artwork in vector and colors in universal swatches, I was able to design on a much smaller scale before bringing to size. Each section was enlarged to 100% during the printing process, printed in overlapping sections and blended onsite during installation. Artwork was printed on synthetic wallpaper, cut and grouped in house, applied by O’hare Interiors and coated in a clear liquid laminate by Innovations in Art.
The above was a life size stock ticker. A ticker provides a continuous revolving report of current information for certain stocks, quantity traded and price changes. This was a unique project to work on because of the of the length of the graphics and the height of the soffits. Three separate 36”’ x 360” stock ticker panels were created to fit together and seamlessly flow from soffit to soffit, throughout the exhibit.
