Motion Graphics Production

A Project Manager was needed for a large signage project to be completed in the span of three months (Nov, Dec, & Jan).

The General Contractor initially hired spin Digital Consulting to manage the environmental graphics production and installation. After stating the environmental graphics, it was determined that three different groups working on the project had signage needs that could most efficiently be managed together.

Short Timelines

In Mid-November Spin Digital Consulting started the three different signage needs (window film, ADA signs, and general building signs). The project needed to be completed no later than January 31st, so the building was ready for final inspection and occupancy on January 4th.

Three Concurrent Unique Activities

There were three activities (environmental graphics, ADA signage, and general signage) that were all happening concurrently and on the same timeline. Each of the activities required an independent budget and approval process.

Design Concept Finalisation

The Architect and Interior Designer’s design concepts were just that, concepts. Additional work was required to customize the concepts to work in each space and be compatible with selected production methods.

Installation Coordenation

The installation scope was complicated by materials being held up by the review, approval, and production process. All four floors of the building were also active construction areas that limited access for installation.

Expedited Acquisition Process

Due to the short timeline, it was critical to select materials with minimal lead times. Some of the original materials specified by the Architect and Interior Designer were not available in the required timeframe, so suitable alternatives were sourced. To streamline the production, one company with the necessary capabilities and capacity was selected.

Digital Floorplan System

To organize 100+ physical signs and environmental graphics on 350+ surfaces, a digital tool was created. The tool included a visual representation of each sign and graphic and what stage in the process it was in. The data was also exported to a spreadsheet to help assist with scheduling.

Production Design

To save time, the physical signage production design was included with the overall production scope. The environmental graphics could not be finalized before installation. A process was put in place that prioritized the availability and flexibility of the graphics material over a bit of waste in production. This prioritization made it possible to execute the Designer’s concept without having to wait on materials.

Installation Sprints

To maximize installation time, sprints were utilized. This made it possible for a five-person installation team to work uninterrupted by material shortages or site access. To meet deadlines, much of the installation was done outside of regular working hours, this greatly improved site access.

Completed Project On-time

This scope of work did not hold up inspections, certificate of occupancy, or the new building owner moving into the building.

Code Requirements Met

All of the ADA, fire, and safety sign requirements were met on the first inspection.
