PIXELATING FASHION
3M, bouncing off the success of its fashion products, became one of the primary sponsors of Puerto Rico’s High Fashion Week to be held in the Convention Center. The event’s sponsorship included the furnishing of 7 murals.
Having worked with 3M before, a strategy was developed to directly impact the convention center’s walls. Post-its, Scotch Tapes, and other related 3M brand materials were used in the creation of these graphic interventions. A carpet-graphic was designed to impact the environment in a fashion-like way, providing a run-way for guests to walk on.
