What Good Work Looks Like
What Good Work Looks Like
April 15, 2011 by Taylor Studios
Something that I do from time to time is post examples of quality work from other sources in the fab and design departments. I like to look at competitors’ portfolios to see what they are doing well and how our work compares. The items I usually post are images of exhibits, artwork, competitors’ projects, and other examples of what I think meets or exceeds our quality expectations. This time, I have two items to showcase.
The first is a turtle we recently made for an exhibit in New Jersey.
This turtle is just one very small aspect of the overall design and fabrication, but is an item that stood out. I am very impressed with the quality. Many of our competitors can make turtles, but do they, as individual items, tell a story? I believe this one does. It truly looks real and seems as though it really is resting on a log soaking up the sun. It looks as though it is moving up toward the end of the log, reaching his head to the sun to enjoy its warmth. Paying attention to little details like this is what makes our exhibits quality exhibits.
The second example of quality work is this masterpiece and a creation from my 7 year old son, Quinten.
To say I am proud is an understatement! I was floored when he showed this to me last night. I am impressed with the layout and use of color. The use of pattern in the background that not only creates a nice backdrop, but also shows the sun rays and water is fantastic. I just want to say to Quinten, “Good job buddy and keep up the good work! Some day you will be giving all the talented artists here at Taylor a run for their money. Hopefully you will be working for us and not a competitor.”
