Cox Communications 2004

This was one of most recent events that I was commissioned by Shadow Mountain Productions to produce all of the PIGI imagery for the COX Communications annual meeting.
This was a very graphic intensive show that definitely taxed me mentally and physically due to all of the comps being approved so close to the deadline that I was forced to do the all to common "all nighter", actually I had to do two! But even with the tight deadlines and lack of sleep, the show was a success.
I am currently waiting to receive the beta rolls of the entire show which I will be editing down and posting here for you to better see how these images were implemented. If you've never seen PIGI projection in person you're in for a treat!

Software used: Adobe Photoshop7.0 exclusively.
Imagery: was a combination of stock artwork from Corbis, Picturequest and Getty Images. With some imagery had to be scanned from publications and some elements were created form scratch.
