  The Solution
...at the end of the exercise, I tossed in the graphics for the renovated building. It just felt like something was missing. Even with the new red brick color added to the white building face, there was still no obvious visual connection to the M.O.B. So I threw in several versions of the graphic lines you see above. One exactly matched the graphics on the M.O.B. The one shown above was my reinterpretation (a sort of update) on the graphics. The same...but different.

The team loved it....and so did the client's CEO. It was one of those wonderful AHA!! moments.

We also produced a video and large format boards of the proposed clinic interiors for CTCA's publicity event. I functioned as project coordinator for the video which we outsourced. I photo-edited stills from the video for the boards and they finished parts of the video and sent me the individual stills. Working with CTCA's marketing director in Philadelphia, I outsourced the boards to a printer in Philly knowing that time would most likely run out on us. Because of our rushed timeframe I suspected that it would become critical for her to be able to basically grab the boards as they popped off the press. True to my instincts, she was picking them up the morning of the event. the last one was being printed and mounted as she was driving to the printer.

 

This was the firm's 3rd CTCA project. The client had bought anolder, white brick building depicted in the small image abolve (this column) to house their Philadelphia Clinic. The project scope included an interior renovation for re-use only. Essentially no budget had been alloted to update the exterior face of the building.

CTCA has an upscale brand and, to me, it seemed like such a wasted opportunity to create a campus feeling to the site.The building behind (on right side of thelarger image at top of page) is a Medical Office Building. The two buidings are visually connected by the entry and breezeway stretching between the buildings. It seemed important that the "new" CTCA building visually married the style of the MOB to the renovated clinic to form a campus.

So I pursuaded the project manager to give some thought to at least painting the exterior and he finally asked me to come up with an assortment of color combinations for the brick, mullions, & glass so that they could make a decision of what worked best, I gave them 17 different combinations...with a bonus....
