Denver Music Company Installation

/ Comments (7)

Local creative wonders, Justin Fuller and Rob Miller, built an installation called the Denver Music Company during Create Denver Week. Justin sent us some photos shot by himself and his friend Trent Davol during the production of the project, as well as of the finished work. Enjoy.

"The whole idea was based around supporting the local music scene and a presentation that was given towards the end of the week by WESTAF about the local music economy in and around Denver. The way it shaped up, it ended up being equal parts design project, interactive installation (with the listening station and some of the "real" stuff like the records, etc), and educational presentation. I learned a whole lot about the history of Denver and Colorado's music scene along the way, and hopefully some of the people that saw the project did too.

Everything that wasn't a real artifact was designed and produced from scratch over a period of about 3 weeks: Logomark, the physical structure, signage, posters, stickers, buttons, smaller prints, labels for the record bin, a 50-page zine, and the supporting signage (open / closed sign, hours of operation sign, etc). There ended up being 25+ screenprinted pieces produced to fill out the space.

I had a lot of fun and collaborated with several talented people to pull it off, especially to get all the records and music together for the listening station. It's looking like there will be at least 1 or 2 opportunities to re-do the installation over the summer, so hopefully it can get dialed in even more and give more people the chance to interact with it.

I got to do a walk-through of this and it was great. Your photos REALLY do it justice too. Some of those elements I didn't catch the first time!
