FITC Signage 2014

Design

The team of FITC Toronto approached us about creating an eye catching installation for the entrance of their 2014 event. Based on inspiration from light-based artists including Dan Flavin, Lori Hersberger, James Clar and Francois Morellet.

Here are some behind-the-scenes images and video of the production process.
