Pipeline teams up with EmbraceBC and Inventa during B.C’s Multiculturalism Week.

Working with Inventa, one of Canada’s leading experiential marketing agencies, we were tasked to design and produce a temporary public art installation for EmbraceBC’s campaign,‘I Live Multiculturalism’. Below are photos of the campaign held in downtown Vancouver’s Robson Square during Nov.18-24th 2012.

 

At the center of the interactive display, is a maple tree (supplied by Greenscape Decor), people were encouraged to think and share how they live multiculturalism in their daily lives and record their thoughts onto colourful leaves and can hang their messages onto the tree branches to make the tree blossom throughout the week.

From day to night, the installation was open to the public daily during the seven day event.

Large format waterproof vinyl banners and vinyl wrap stickers cover the temporary structure and the tree support box.

For extra traction and durability, we applied a custom non-skid paint on all the walkway and staircase panels.

An enclosed locker was integrated to store a portable generator, as well as, provide a secure spot to hold the event staff's personal belongings and supplies. Look for behind the scenes photos to be posted shortly.

Working with veteran Canadian DJ Breaks duo, Synthetic Hype, we recently completed manufacturing their signature slick speaker helmet design. Below are some photos of the completed helmet.

For an added effect, we integrated LED lights equipped with a dimmer switch. 

In addition to that, we fitted the helmet with a padded hard case.

RePete takes flight! Working with Ecquire, we’re pleased to manufacture a life size puppet version (13" H x 12" W) of their mascot for a series of promotional videos to be released in the upcoming months. Here's a sneak peak of the finished product.

It's a wrap! Working in conjunction with Mosaic Sales Solutions, we just completed designing and manufacturing an experiential marketing campaign for the Kokanee Beer Company to be held at the Kokanee Crankworx's at Whistler, B.C July 15 - 25, 2011.

About Crankworx:
During Whistler, BC's 10-day Kokanee Crankworx festival, the dirt-adorned put the revel in the free ride mountain biking revolution, bending physics and blowing minds with their tail-whipping back-flipping hard-charging ways. For the eighth year running, the venues of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park serve as modern day Colosseum, masterpieces of stunt and trail engineering, forum for the ultimate in gladiator contests and public spectacle. In less than a decade, Kokanee Crankworx has become the authoritative free ride festival, a supercharged magnet for the world's best riders, the definitive domestication of dirt in the service of epic endurance, supreme flow, monster air and gravity-fuelled mountain biking.

Gupified: Series One! A short time ago, Nick Tay, Co-Owner of the Gup Gups, a designer vinyl toy company approached Pipeline Creative and asked us to customize two of their 15 inch large Gup Gups for display and promotional purposes. Supplied with a blank "canvas", lead Pipeline Artist, Keith Lau took on the challenge of the first Gup to design and put a unique spin to the DIY (Do-it-yourself) vinyl culture. The result is a Steampunk themed Droid.

Look for Pipeline’s second Gup titled, Gupified: Series Two by Howard Lau, Pipeline lead artist to be released in the near future. In the meantime, watch for the Steampunk Droid to make the rounds at various Gup Gup shows and vinyl community websites. For further information on the Gup Gups, please visit their website.
