How many times have you entered a beautiful building, whether it be a hospital, medical clinic, corporate headquarters, physician’s office, or government building and were totally turned off by the “old lady” artwork that was placed on the walls taking up valuable space. Or how about that artwork in the out of date frame with the artwork that has been in place so long that it has turned blue and has nothing to do with its environment?

It’s a new day! Customers and employees expect and deserve more. Why waste the acres and acres of space on the walls of your facility with artwork that just fills space? Leverage that

space for messaging. We have been involved with a number of successful messaging installations in healthcare, corporate, government and entertainment environments.

Branding is all about emotion. We assist our clients in extending that brand to the walls of your facility. After all, branding should be exercised at every touchpoint of customers and employees as they are the number one evangelists of your brand. If they aren’t living and breathing the brand, no one will.

Our chosen medium is still photography. Photography allows us to get the message tight. To get the specific

subject matter that conveys the exact message of the business or organization. We depend heavily on locally produced imagery to tailor our customer’s message. We learn about the story you want to tell and then go about pulling images from our extensive library and/or creating new images to craft a coherent message throughout your facility.

We’d love to be your partner in letting your walls resonate your brand.Read on to find out how we do it.

Our turnkey service includes initial planning and image creation; space design; printing, matting and framing all completed by our staff in our 4,000 square foot production facility and installation of the artwork on your walls.

Expanding from photography into interior design projects was a natural extension for our company. Photographer, Mike Klemme, has a longstanding love of architecture and realizes the importance of beautiful artwork for the overall ambience and livability of any structure. He personally reviews all floor plans and works with the developer, facilities manager, and /or interior designer to determine the ideal frame/matte combinations for the selected images to tell your story. One of his philosophies to is deliver something you will always remember, on time and on budget.

Choose from an archive of nearly one million images, or commission images especially for your project, or a use a combination of the two. Our desire is to help you create a space that fits your message, your taste, and your budget.We rely on six essential resources as we work together to create the ideal space for you.

1.LISTEN — Understanding is the foundation of every successful design process. Our team listens to you to be sure we develop ideas that will fulfill your needs, satisfy your sensibilities, and happen within your budget. We will want

to learn about your business, your customers, your employees and the traffic patterns within your facility. We need to understand the opportunities and constraints offered by your project and the economics that will drive our decision-making process. What we create will respond to everything we hear.

2.LEARN — We have a lot to learn. We collect information about your company, the building, the intent of the architect and designer, and then imagine a satisfying plan. We consult with all parties involved to develop solutions to any special challenges. We test our ideas with you to see how they look and feel. Are we on the right track? Do we need to explore alternatives? Along the way, we learn to think and work together. We develop relationships to sustain your project and assure your comfort.

3. BUDGET — We produce a detailed floor plan with each artwork located on the map. Along with the map, we include a spreadsheet that lists location (by room and wall) and the size and material of every piece proposed within the plan. We build budgets that anticipate costs for every aspect of your art project from conception to installation on your walls. This helps you budget by project and also room-by-room. We offer phased installation of the artwork for larger facilities, if you prefer. Combined, these documents give you a visual map and an

accurate budget from which to make decisions and build timelines.

4. DESIGN — Once we have learned details of your needs, our team can focus on searching for or creating custom artwork for your walls. We make sure every piece is appropriate for its space and audience. Once we have chosen our suggestions, we visit your site and SHOW you our plan. This has proven to be the best way to provide you with the ultimate confidence that the final installation will be exactly as envisioned.

5. PRODUCTION — We find that careful planning always pays off. Clear plans allow us to proceed with confidence to complete your project. We use the same care and consideration invested in the design as when we create your custom prints, frames, mattes and identity plates for each piece. All production occurs within our 4,000sf facility under the watchful eye of the artist.

6. INSTALLATION ---- Once the framed pieces are complete, we schedule a time to install, including coordination by the artist. Our team has the experience and expertise to hang as many as 150 pieces per day, depending on the size and layout of the facility. Prepare to be amazed at the transformation of your space!

How does the system work?

NatureHundreds of thousands of nature images from the central part of the United States, as well as rain forests, beaches, mountains, and forests in North, Central and South America, as well as Europe and Asia make up this archive. Imagery was created with healthcare uses and healing in mind to give patients hope, while encouraging them to focus on beauty rather than their illness during their stay.

LandscapeLandscape photography captures a larger slice and a broader perspective of gorgeous global scenery. Choose from Klemme’s enormous collection and showcase other parts of the world--or scenes from close to home--within the walls of your establishment. Vibrant, expansive scenes contrast with the sterile healthcare environment, providing warmth and a beautiful place for the mind to wander and heal.

LocalOur experiences indicate patient, staff and guests react in a positive way when familiar and community images are incorporated into the decor of a medical facility. Adding an element of comfort, recognition and peace through local photography plays an important role in every one of our custom installations. Featuring your community is one of our specialties!

Framed PhotographyWe own and operate our own 8,000 square foot frame production facility (see page 9). This allows us to control the timing of our projects as well as control every single aspect of the quality of our framed images. We use only the finest quality moldings, matte substrates, glass and hanging hardware to insure that every element of your finished product will be beautiful and maintenance-free for years to come.

Metal PrintsWhen the situation calls for a piece that is larger than our standard frame size or for a more modern look and feel, we have the ability to print on metal plates up to 4’X8’ and can then multiply those large prints to make very large wall impressions. (see photos number one and six above) This type of installation also comes in very handy for curved walls. Note that we use metal standoffs to complete the look and give you the ability to change our the artwork easily.

Cloth PrintsWe have recently begun using a new process of printing on cloth. These prints can be displayed in extremely large sizes at extremely great quality. The samples above (numbers 7 and 9) show a recently installed project in an event center. Some of the pieces here were used as large as 10‘X10’ and 5‘X15’. One wall used nine 10‘X10’ images stacked together to form a 10‘X90 wall of imagery. We are very excited about this new product and all that it can do for our clients facilities.

Laser-perfect installation. Once the pieces are laid out in their place we use a number of unique methods to insure that each piece is placed exactly where it belongs at a proper height, distance from other pieces and laser leveled, double hung (and upon request) security locked to make sure it stays in it’s exact place with no need for adjustment for many years to come. Every piece, it’s exact placement, the quality of the print, the fit and finish of the frame are all approved under the watchful eye of the artist.

Production Facilities We completely control every aspect of the project including printing, matting, mounting, assembly and completion in our own 8,000 square foot facility.EstablishmentIn 2009, our team came to realize that as our production needs continued to grow, it became more and more difficult to coordinate our scheduling with outside vendors. We also found that if mistakes were made in during the production process, they were not discovered until the installation phase which became frustrating, and totally unacceptable. We spent the next year studying equipment, processes, and efficiencies along with buying and remodeling our own building to house our operation. We are now very happy with our working operation and are comfortable with manufacturing as many as 1,000 pieces per month. We have a much more efficient operation and can totally control each and every step of the process from a timing as well as a quality standpoint.

PhilosophyIn our quest to develop our in-house production facility, we knew from the outset that we wanted to create a system approach that would fit with every client we dealt with across a wide variety of facilities and interior design criteria. We decided on a system of five sizes of images. We lean heavy upon the square format as this aspect ratio allows us to install long runs of images in a defined wallspace employing odd numbers of pieces. Whether it is a short wallspace that hosts three small squares to a 35’ long wall that allows us to place seven large squares, each given space can easily be “filled” by using odd numbers of square images. So, we offer a SMALL SQUARE, MEDIUM SQUARE and LARGE SQUARE size along with a large horizontal size we call a SMALL PANORAMIC,and fun size we call our EXTREME PANORAMIC, which is two feet wide and six feet long for special places. We have found in our dozens of installations that we can easily work with any situation by using just these five sizes. This sets us up with the ability to move pieces (as long as they are the same size) and exchange them for pieces of like sizes over time. This allows our customers to “freshen” their spaces and keep things new and lively. All of these system elements also allow us to keep things simple and efficient in the production phase as it allows us to buy only five pre-cut mattes, glass and prints to fulfill our orders. Saving much time, expense and avoiding costly and time-consuming mistakes.

The big deal.The really big deal is that no matter how large or small your project is, you will be dealing with one person, the artist, Mike Klemme from the initial call or email to the day every piece of art is professionally nstalled in your facility. We feel that this fact, is above all the biggest deal we offer. Any questions, problems, changes, during the process, you deal with one person, the creator and producer of the imagery. You be the guide, we do the work, we want to be your partner in this venture.
