The Ludlum and Gil Attorneys at Law billboard was a fun project to work on that allowed creative opportunity.  The only direction given from the client the need to target military people and their families.  The design process centered around a patriotic theme using red, white, blue, and a HUGE Eagle. The billboard features two large extensions to allow the eagle to be much more dominate and memorable.  The billboard is targeting Veteran Affairs to protect the American soldiers and their families rights.

Hospital Billboard to Promote Heart and Vascular Center

By: In:

Hospital-billboard-SAMCSouth East Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) has been working to educate the public on life threatening health issues.  The Heart and Vascular Clinic at SAMC is educating people to understand sometimes symptoms may indicate a different health concern.  It is important to have regular check ups and inform your physician of any health issues to be certain to catch any life threatening issues early. “It wasn’t indigestion.” is the message the SAMC Heart and Vascular Center used on this billboard to encourage people to consider heart health.

The Durden Outdoor Creative Team went to work to create a simple message on an attractive background.  The message might be simple but the underlying meaning of the message has a huge impact for those who take the time to read the message.  It challenges people to think about their health and understand symptoms are not always what you they seem.  The SAMC message was placed on a Bulletin on 431 South bound coming into Dothan, AL.

Bulletins are generally used with placing a message for an extended period of time.  Often times people associate Bulletins as the classic billboard.  Durden Outdoor offers other billboard products to help get your message out.  4 Week Rotary Campaigns and Digital Billboards are also available.

Eagle Eye Outfitters Fish Billboard

By: In:
 

Creative advertising generates impressions.  When you have the public’s attention it is much easier to captivate your audience.  If they are not looking they are not buying.  Durden Outdoor has been working with Eagle Eye Outfitters to establish brand identity and to direct traffic to their location in Dothan, Alabama.  This summer Eagle Eye Outfitters wanted to feature the fishing clothing they offer.

dsc_5223The client provided a picture of the man fishing leaving the creative design ideas to the Durden Creative Department.  The billboard design concept quickly evolved from a simple extension of the man over the top of the billboard to the eye catching design you see.  At first thought the massive 5 foot tall extension seemed to get the job done.  After more brainstorming and discussion our creative staff decided to add a huge fishing pole and fish to the left side of the board.

The fish was designed in a 3D CAD program.  The parts were sent out to be CNC Laser Cut.  The body of the fish is cut from .063 aluminum and the internal braces for the fish are CNC laser cut from .1875 P&O Steel plate. The fish assembly bolts together with 15 bolts and once it is bolted together it is very rigid. The total weight of the fish is roughly 6 pounds.

The end result is a shiny fish swinging in the wind and catching the attention of those passing by.  The client has already reported a large number of people commenting on the billboard within the first 2-3 days of it being posted.  This design will run for about 6 months before being replaced with the fall line marketing message.

No Skinny Dipping

By: In:
Durden Outdorr Displays is S.E. Alabama’s leader in outdoor advertising with over 1000 billboards in the area.  Creative ideas are something the Durden crew works toward with each client.  Working creatively can offer new ways to connect with a potential customer, or help keep the brand image in front of an existing customer. The “NO SKINNY DIPPING” billboard campaign has been a huge success in the Dothan, Alabama area. The billboards were posted in several key areas around the Dothan market.  The billboards are part of a two-step process.  The first stage is to feature the “NO SKINNY DIPPING” slogan with no company branding, product, or service.  The second step will follow four weeks from the campaign starting.  Each of the “NO SKINNY DIPPING” billboard locations will receive new artwork on March 28, 2011 revealing the company and product or service offered. Local news media quickly picked up on the “NO SKINNY DIPPING” message in what many would consider a conservative community.  The billboard message has been fun with many people wondering what the message it related to.  Some of the local online news and chat hotspots have had the buzz of people guessing who and what.  So much so the owner of the message is going to sponsor a couple online giveaways for those wanting to guess the meaning of the board.
