    Graphics Tip – Content Positioning

    Thinking about all the structural elements of your exhibit property will save you time, money, and headaches in the future. Many times with reconfigurable exhibits and modular properties, it can be easy to overlook all the options your properties have in different configurations with accessories. These simple items can quickly eat away at your visual area your critical content needs to be created in.

    Some things to consider:

    what is in front of the structure or near the parameter? Monitors or displays, shelving, possibly a banner stand, podium, or even a table?  The last thing you want is your graphic designers to put critical content in these obscured areas!

    Will this same message be in a different configuration at your next event?

    Ideally  all your elements should  be placed in a mock-up or 3d rendering for all configurations so you truly understand your canvas as an exhibitor, and give your graphics team the information they need to be prepared.

    You would be surprised how often non exhibit house designers forget to take these items into consideration, and when the exhibit has been assembled there is important content being obscured and someone has to answer!

    Conclusion:

    With a little long term thinking you can make your trade show exhibit graphics last throughout your exhibit’s reconfigurations, and get your message across without interference from structural components.

    10 things we can directly print on

    Blazer Exhibits & Events AGFA direct to surface printer

    Did you ever wish you could have a logo or graphic image directly printed on an unusual material without lamination or adhesives?  Well your dreams have just come true!  The ability to print directly on a variety of substrates is a liberating experience and we have some pretty cool examples of how a little bit of imagination can make a really spectacular graphic.

    We are still finding bizarre things to put graphics on:

    1. Stone
    2. Wood – finished and natural
    3. Metal – brushed and solid
    4. Papers
    5. Film – both blockout and backlit
    6. Sintra
    7. Gator Board
    8. Plexiglas – frosted and clear
    9. Canvas
    10. Plastics

    the list is growing daily.

    This capability will really make your custom graphics a centerpiece of many conversations, and will add another dynamic element to your event or exhibit.

    The Agfa Anapurna can handle rigid media up to sixty inches wide,  and over ten feet long. Roll based media can go even longer. The ink is UV cured and is one of the more UV resistant printing methods currently in use.  These durable prints can handle extended time in direct sunlight.   Maybe you have a special request for your next booth graphics!

    Wood, Metal, Glass, plastic, fabric,  doors, cabinet tops, desks, wall paper…its all a opportunity to brand!  Stop by our office and take a look for yourself it is truly amazing what you can print on.

    The “Three Second” Rule

    large format graphic rulesThe three second rule -

    No, we are not talking about food on the floor (that is the 5 second rule anyway), we are talking about effective design and layout for large format graphics!

    What makes an effective graphic for trade show exhibits? Over the years I have seen a variety of answers to this challenge.   Some are effective, and some that have missed the mark.  When discussing this exact topic with my peers, it occurred to me that the answer can be found by simply driving on the freeway

    Chances are that over the years you have noticed few billboards scattered across the maze of cars on the way to your destination.  Only a few of them really grab your attention, and even fewer if your exceeding the speed limit!- really think about it.  You have about three seconds to absorb the bulk of the information before you zoom past the billboard or focus your eyes on the road ahead. The same principal of attention can be applied to your exhibit graphics.

    When the exhibit floor is the highway, and the (maze) is the attendees and traffic, your messaging needs to follow this three second rule!  Interrupt and engage your potential client with effective wording and imagery in the shortest amount of time possible.

    Those billboards that do grab your attention get their targeted message and branding across quickly!  (Can you think of a memorable one?)  Others that are saturated with details, and massive amounts of small type seems to really go by with you catching only partial understanding of what their marketing intentions really were.  (I know that sometimes, the content is king, but to get attendees to recall the content, you must grab their attention first).

    So, keep your eyes on the road ahead and keep your exhibit graphics within the 3 second rule. You will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

    I happen to like the 3 second rule for food too! (it gives me two extra seconds from the benchmark).
