NanoLumens AIA Continuing Education Course: Large Format Indoor Display Technologies

Learning Objectives

I. Participants will understand the purpose and goals associated with the addition of large-format indoor display technology to a space.Our instructor will walk through the ROI of adding large format indoor display technology to a space, discussing how and why adding a display increases the revenue generated by a given space and the interest in such a space (i.e. adding ad revenue and marketing options for shows in a convention center could cause a large tradeshow to select that center over others) II. Participants will be able to identify and understand various technologies used for indoor display technology applications.Our instructor will discuss the various technologies available for large-format indoor displays, walking through how each works and how they are applied to a space, as well as how they are distinguished from one another. III. Participants will be able to identify the best-suited technology for an indoor display application in hypothetical and real-world scenarios.After the various technologies are understood, our instructor will walk participants through various scenarios of applications to discuss how each technology behaves in situ. Situational factors, such as the presence of ambient light, heat and noise restrictions, and limited spacing will be explored. IV. Participants will understand the pros and cons of applicable technologies for indoor display applications.The instructor will identify the perks and drawbacks associated with each technology and where there might be pitfalls or needs in application scenarios that could eliminate or enhance the viability of a given technology. OVERALL GOAL: By the end of our course, participants will be able to look at a potential architecture project, identify how signage could enhance the situation, and to understand which available technology would be best suited to the project due to budget, environment, and energy constrictions.

FORM IT-SHAPE IT-LIGHT IT

The most sophisticated sign fabricators and designers choose acrylic as the substrate of choice due to its endless decoration possibilities and overall durability. Whether incorporating three-dimensional elements for ADA & wayfinding or backlit illuminated signage this type of plastic is a product selected among the top designers in this field.

With the advent of LED’s as a preferred light source for illuminated signage & graphics this makes way for a more creative approach in the field of design. Both l.e.d. & advances in acrylic have dramatically effected sign design. Lower profile cabinets, letters and flush mounted illuminated wayfinding are just a few signage elements that have improved with the advance in these signage materials.

We shall be exploring the latest technologies in both of these materials and how they interact giving a new approach in designing signage for the future.

ACRYLIC:  A clearer approach in proper specification:

  • Quick intro to acrylics & how we use it in day to day applications for our industry.
  • Usages for the sign & graphics industry; ADA, Backlighting, Display, interior/exterior directional
  • Signage-LD light scattering technology, diffusers, acrylics relation to general purpose & specialty lighting/lighting design
  • Clear acrylic, colored acrylic, textures
  • Direct to print OptixDA acrylic (standard/non-glare). Advanced print technology & how it effects these materials
  • Applications “outside the acrylic box” for retail, hospitality. corporate interiors

LEDs:  what & when to use:

  • Quick intro/advancements in led technology (lenses, chip technology, kelvin temperature, size)
  • General understanding of led: pros/cons when to use & what
  • Led used for backlighting applications (signage& graphics, display, fixture)
  • Architectural Lighting (cove lighting, border tubing, general purpose lighting)

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and social hour, drinks and food will be provided. Kevin will have samples of various acrylics(color, clear, direct to print acrylics, acrylic mirror, textured) along with samples of LEDs for architectural lighting, backlighting, display/lightbox

Sign Painter Screening, Sept 30, 7PM at SCADshow

SEGD Atlanta in association with SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design, is proud to present:

Sign Painters, directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon

When:  Wednesday, September 30, 7:00 PM
Where:  SCADshow, 173 14th St., Atlanta, GA 30309

We see them almost every day without a second thought. Weathered by time, distinct characteristics shining through, hand-painted signs are a product of a fascinating 150 year-old American history. What was once a common job has now become a highly specialized trade, a unique craft struggling with technological advances. Sign Painters, directed by Faythe Levine & Sam Macon, stylistically explores this unacknowledged art form through anecdotal accounts from artists across the country including Ira Coyne, Bob Dewhurst, Keith Knecht, Norma Jeane Maloney and Stephen Powers. These vanguards of unseen originality are leading a renaissance with a keen creative purpose and exemplify the working class American success story. Sign Painters celebrates those keeping the tradition intact with a bespoke approach and appreciation for a balance between art and commerce.
