Schmeeckle Reserve Interpreters: Media Design Projects

Our team can help move your project from conceptual ideas to reality. We offer full design services for media and publications, and coordinate services with other design and fabrication companies to preserve the original vision of the project.

Media Services Offered

Conceptual Media Plans:

Conceptual media designs are major components in any interpretive master plan that we develop. For a site that already has a master plan in place, we can develop a supplemental conceptual media plan that fits the mission, audience, resources, and themes.

Our team will develop innovative ideas and techniques for sharing your stories, from interactive exhibits and tactile signage, to engaging object theaters and discovery rooms. Documenting your concepts is important before handing off the project to a fabricator.

Design/Fabrication Services:

Our team has expertise in researching, writing, and designing interpretive signage, brochures, and booklets. We strive to show the story visually with engaging graphics and minimal text. We also coordinate with several panel and frame fabrication companies to make the entire process seamless.

Research/Inscription Writing/Graphic Acquisition:

Although we are unable to offer complex exhibit design, we do provide services to research the stories, write concise and readable inscriptions, and acquire high quality images that will be incorporated into exhibits. We work closely with exhibit fabricators throughout the process to ensure that the final product is true to your vision.
