The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions EXPO is still seven months in the future but we are starting to think about our plans for displaying there in November. We have been assigned booth space number 761 for this year - just over from where we were last year. Last year we were honoured with a (third in a row) Brass Ring Award for best booth in our size category. More importantly, we were pleased to spend time with so many new and long time clients and friends at the show. We are looking forward to our fourth appearance there.
Bonus!
We were out to a family easter function today. On the way home we took backroads instead of the overly busy freeway. We were rewarded with a calm drive in the country and and near home came across this gorgeous field of tulips.
Blue sky
Every project we tackle first goes through a concept design phase. We call this blue sky. Anything is possible at this point in the project. It’s time to dream very large. While possible budgets aren’t totally ignored we don’t overly concern ourselves with the numbers right now. An awesome idea will survive all that comes afterward. This time is about exploring ideas and the wilder the better. This is the time to push the envelope in search of the best scheme we can conceivably come up with. It’s our opportunity to raise the bar of our abilities and also to exceed the expectations of our customer.
Not every idea will work for the project at hand. Sometimes our first or second try will spark an even better idea. Although we fully understand that many of our concepts will undoubtably hit the cutting room floor as the realities of priorities, budgets and timelines become clearer, this is still a wonderful time to dream. This is fun!
