Based on discussions with management and operations managers, and the existing concept of concentric circles with a core, I modified the image shown here.

Having rejoined the firm in 1991 after several newspaper jobs in Illinois and Arizona, the first thing I proposed for the company was a brochure that was also a board game…

K-Flex SystemsK-Flex Systems

The game was essentially some “goofy” fun to engage hospital, airline foodservice planners and architects. This interactivity put the K-Flex technology in the mind of the customer when planning their food service or materials handling conveyor concepts.

I set into motion this major advertising campaign not long after the game brochure, and integrated ideas into my design for the company’s tradeshow booth. This advertisement was featured as a double-page spread in the front inside cover of Chef magazine for 6 issues. The resulting exposure resulted in over 20m sales that year.
