ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
EMHE was one of our favorite shows and we were honored to have a small part in touching and changing the lives of families.
EMHE needed room illustrations that were fun, encouraged creativity and play…and fast!
Timbuktoons, collaborated with people across the nation, including the design team from the show and printing companies, to produce custom illustrated room murals for three deserving families.
The donation of creative services was part of the Augusta, Georgia; Lincolnton, North Carolina and San Antonio, Texas builds.
It was an honor to work on such an important cause…plus we got to design wall murals with some of our favorite things: gags, Toy Story, robots and superheroes.
Challenges:
- Coordinating with producers and printers in multiple locations
- Transferring the vision and art direction of the design team into wall designs
- Developing design concepts from the child’s interests and favs
- Quick turnaround (each less than two weeks from concept to delivery)
Solutions:
- Multiple full wall treatments installed
- Spot illustrations for additional use
- Designs for different treatments such as lamp and window shades
- Concepts and designs for three dimensional bumpouts for extra effect
