I’m still busy at my drawing board, dreaming up ideas for fun signs at the Nebraska farm. Today’s task was a couple of fun landmark signs for the barn that houses the mini donut kitchen and sales outlet. I LOVE mini donuts and I was instantly inspired to be creative! The first sign was for the front of the building. It features the name of the barn and their mascot Jack, holding a giant stack of mini donuts of course. At one end of the barn is a viewing window of the mechanical donut machine. It’s a wonder to watch but in the past most people walk by without realizing the machine was there, churning out those tasty treats by the baker’s dozen. We had to think of something unusual to direct traffic to that awesome window. After considering a variety of ideas we decided there was no better way to entice people to look than to tell them DO-NUT LOOK!
Out of this world design
My design project for today was literally out of this world. Our client asked us to imagine a what a mining operation might look like on the planet Mars. My mission was to be somewhat grounded in fact but to also use my imagination to make itl very fun for kids of all ages. It features a sluice box where kids sift out ‘treasures from the red planet’. It was a fun assignment to work on and if it proceeds will be even more fun to build…
Brick by brick
The inside wall of the North Star suite garden was sculpted today. With each brick the crew sculpted things changed rapidly. The garden is now clearly defined and is beautifully private as we imagined. Lush landscaping along with abundant ‘artifacts will change things once again in a short while. It is pretty cool to see the vision come to lie on a daily basis!’
