Lighting by Got Light The Neon Niche

6 Blueprint Studios Magazine They say the neon lights are bright on
Broadway, but corporate and social events
will give them a run for their money. This
year, designs are integrating vibrant
glowing signs that inspire bold ideas with
graphic imagery and typography. Cutting
edge technologies utilizing pvc and non-
shatter LED tubing are providing neon
sign creators more flexibility in developing
customized shapes and script. This
century old art form will take new shape
as its utilization will be key in reinforcing
brand recognition all the while providing
playful directives for a multitude of
activities in a creative way.

Let’s get ‘Phygital’

As the demand for digital décor blends with physical experiences,
the need for ‘phygital’ design will play a huge role in defining
event spaces. The phygital phenomenon will continue to gain
momentum as industries are pushed to develop new ways to
capture the attendee’s experience throughout every phase of
an event or conference. From creating a customized event bot
that assists your attendees through each step of a conference
to physical experiential activities that enhance a brand message,
these experiences will take your attendees back to the event again
and again. The connection to other sensories will continue to be
just as crucial as chef’s and caterers developing creative menus
and food displays to lighting and sound companies setting the
mood to an environment. All of these efforts will be to challenge
the attendees to discover unique flavors, bold sounds and
excitement to create a truly memorable impression.

Hyper Nature

Exaggerated surfaces combined with
mixed mediums create hyper-natural and
super imaginative micro-environments.
Corporate and social events are driving this
immersive concept that supports brand
recognition along with communicating
company culture by encouraging
attendees to interact with thought
provoking phrases and stimulating
textiles. Metallic finishes have mysterious
iridescence that transcends reality while
ombre color blends represent the vast
cultures and unique creativity in our
society. Familiar flower blossoms and
plants will take on a new life with color
painted treatments and creative appliques.

FLORAL T A B L E T O P T R E N D S

The Blueprint Studios floral team takes trendsetting ideas and creative sculptural artistry to new heights.

Tabletops by Hensley Event Resources

Au Natural

Woodland Romance: Natural and untreated wood vessels and table top accents are used
to modernize the popular rustic look. This design features natural wood frames elevated at
varying heights offering a unique dimensional platform to simple pavés of dahlias, peonies and
anemones.

Edible and Unconventional

Blueprint Studios dives deep this year into the edible and unconventional realms of the floral
world to shake up and expand the average tabletop setting. Candy, fruit and vegetables are
all mediums that fit seamlessly with floral decor to create masterful design themes such as
Candyland, Alice in Wonderland and Farm to Table settings.
Rock Candy Craze: This table top design pulls inspiration from the angular structure, playful
nature and vivid colors of rock candy. Mixing gerbera daisies with carnations allow for a wide
range of deeply saturated colors that assist in making large compositions in an affordable
way.

The Masters Resurface

Waterlilies: This art inspired design was created with a simple concrete water trough filled
with floating orchids and peonies set on top of a custom printed table inlay. We pay homage
to the great masters of art by mixing color combinations with creative print design that
reflect the feel and mood of each masterpiece. This impressionist painting is by the Silicon
Valley based Richard Frankel.

"I think of myself as a curator...
I just organize and showcase Mother
Nature's artwork."

GALA S P O T L I G H T

SAN FRANCISCO
SYMPHONY 2017

The San Francisco Symphony celebrated their 106th season with a momentous
Opening Night Gala joined by the city’s most prolific philanthropists, luminaries
and patrons of the arts. Attendees were entertained and enticed with a special
appearance by renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Nearly 3000 guests were dazzled and
delighted throughout nine different environments in one glamorous night. The
celebration’s sumptuous, modern chinoiserie inspired surroundings were designed

and produced by Blueprint Studios.

The evening began with a vibrant blue carpet arrival stylized with three modern
kinetic mirror sculptures that allowed for photo opportunities at every turn. After
a short cocktail hour guests then made their way to one of four prominent dinners
located at San Francisco City Hall and the Davies Symphony Hall with the most

exclusive being the Patrons Dinner.

Patron’s Dinner
Patron attendees reveled in a 12,000 square foot artfully crafted event pavilion
custom built within a parking structured nestled next to Davies Symphony Hall. The
scene was set with a fresh medley of soft yet bold colors showcased through a series
of elegant textures such as brushed velvet and waves of silk textiles juxtaposed by
modern metals and custom forged wall sculptures. Patrons and after party attendees
feasted their eyes on an architecturally intricate ceiling installation of undulating
waves of silk accented by rings of illuminating acrylic petals. Colors and patterns

designed within were inspired by modern chinoiserie art and fashion.

Since 2009, Blueprint Studios has orchestrated every stage of the design for this
high-profile celebration, from concept to reality. With luxurious furnishings to cutting-
edge printing techniques, this black tie affair serves as a stunning stage for Blueprint

Studios to showcase its latest design breakthroughs and trendsetting innovations.

Blueprint Studios Magazine 13

The Patrons Event Pavilion poised for dinner. The
concerto of colors and patterns were translated

throughout nine events located in San Francisco City
Hall, Davies Hall and Grove Street. Each distinctive event

and location was designed to perform on it's own while
harmonizing with each other.

14 Blueprint Studios Magazine

Patrons regaled at one of three stylized dining
settings. Traditional round tables were draped
in neutral gold linens and topped by geometric
metal stands accented by cascading coral and
cream flowers. Custom built sixteen foot long
serpentine tables allowed for oversize parties
of 12 to converse in style while luxurious
curved banquettes surrounding custom built
oval tables lined the perimeter of the event
pavilion.

"My greatest joy is to take simple ideas and
expand them to endless creative designs that

leave a lasting impression."
- Shannon Gurley,
Creative Director

A SPLASH
OF COLOR

Claude Monet famously said, “Color is
my day-long obsession, joy and torment”.
The use of color in any space can
communicate even the most subtle of
messages. Shades of green can speak
of new beginnings, fresh ideas or global
thinking. Reds and oranges invigorates
the senses or emboldens a message
while blues and purples promote security
in discovering new ideas or experiences.
At Blueprint Studios, our palette is filled
with a rainbow of furnishings and decor
that can paint a masterpiece for any
event.

Brand recognition and BEAUTY AND T H E B R A N D
experiential design are key
Sephora SDCA Conference beautifies
ingredients to developing
custom spaces.

In August of 2017, Blueprint Studios had the honor of supporting Sephora as their Nadine Froger Photography
preferred design partner for the Store Director of the Americas (SDCA) conference
held at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Over 80 established and new beauty
brands were showcased in this exclusive invite only event, offering a look into their
new product lines and best sellers. Blueprint Studios’ Design Studio was proud to
develop and build more than 30 customized booths and provide event décor for the
opening and closing night parties for over 2,000 attendees.
All brands brought a unique product and challenge to the table. Established
companies needed to ensure their brand was easily recognizable to showcase
new product lines. New companies joining Sephora stores needed to find creative
solutions to showcase their brand so it would be memorable in the eyes of the
consumer. While many wanted to show off trademark products, others wanted to
showcase the history of success stories their line offered; all wanted to make it
memorable.

Blueprint Studios focused on brand recognition and experiential design as the key
ingredients to developing each company’s custom space. Each space introduced the
conference attendee to an on-brand activity, photo opportunity or make-up tutorial
session. Creative concepts such as weightless selfie rooms, hydration immersive
spaces and innovator puzzle walls were just some of the unique activations designed
to entice event goers. Spatial elements were all designed around the importance of
attendees knowing, recognizing and remembering what each brand had to offer.

A WHOLE Palo Alto Network’s IGNITE Conference with over 3,600 top security expert
NEW WORLD attendees, takes leaps and bounds each year as it revels in the opportunity
to experience new and exciting branding concepts through unique corporate
20 Blueprint Studios Magazine environments.
This year for IGNITE, Blueprint Studios took over the Vancouver Convention
Center for a three day conference with a “Guardians of Cybersecurity” theme fully
equipped with out of this world graphics, an interactive cyber range and colorful
meeting spaces. Continuing with this theme, Blueprint Studios completely
transformed the BC Place Soccer Stadium into a larger than life experience for
attendees. With the largest cable supported retractable roof in the world and
it’s massive 109 x 93 yds field, the BC Place stadium in British Columbia was
transformed into a life sized game board with multiple “New Worlds”. Attendees
walked through a 12 ft tall arch structure set at each carpet color transition to
give the effect of “leveling up” and entry into the start of a new world. Worlds
were fully equipped with color coordinated designer furnishings and experiential
activities including a interactive obstacle course, remote control race cars,
human bumper bubble balls and an inflatable hypercube!

The Vancouver Conference Center and BC Place started out as a blank canvas
for the Blueprint Studios team with the initial challenge of crowd control and
scalability of such massive spaces. Without a proper plan, the spaces would
have been underdeveloped or overwhelming to the point it would be uninviting
and cramped. Unlocking the proper product placement and flow were necessary
to ensure the success of the event.

"Beautiful design is about aesthetics. Powerful
design is about strategy execution. Marrying,
experiential concepts, tactics, purposeful art
direction and market intel is key to corporate
event design success."
- Camila Pinzón,
Creative Business Development Director
