"SUPER•BALL" NEW WORKS FROM EXHIBITION: Custom Signage


 


One of the most fun projects for the new show, was to create custom signage for the entrance, referencing old Wham-O logos and marketing material.  As luck would have it, a world class design/fabrication shop was located in the space adjacent to The MINE Factory.  Katie and Brandon were amazing and worked tirelessly to create these two stellar signs.

If you ever have any high-end design work you need, look them up.


So check out the works in progress, beginning with the original imagery, the concept crawings and the final works.  

I am really proud of their work and pleased to share it with you all.

Best,

Henry

"SUPER•BALL" - New Works from the Exhibition: Triptychs

Hey Sphaeralogists,

These triptychs were new to the project for the show in Pittsburgh.  The original photographs - though beautiful - did not accurately show the relative sizes of the balls under that act of compression.  In these we show 3 consecutive frames (at 2800fps), showing the moment just prior to impact, the moment of impact, and the moment of full compression.  That way we were able to reflect the physical change the ball goes through under that force.

We hope you find them both illuminating intellectually, but also compelling visually.

We think so!

Best,

The Founders
