The People

Creative, Cooperative Design Process
Taylor Studios, Inc. endeavors to produce exhibits that will enlighten, entertain and motivate the imagination. An important facet of the creative design process is the thoughtful integration of the client's human and material resources with our own. There are often situations where the client's existing layout, exhibits and collections (as well as their staff), make a significant contribution to the best design solutions. Working closely with the client in this way has consistently proven to produce the best results.

Competitive Price
Taylor Studios, Inc. is able to offer some of the best pricing in the industry. When Betty Brennan and Joe Taylor first established Taylor Studios, Inc. they saw a need for high quality exhibit fabrication that both small and large institutions could afford. Keeping this industry need in mind, they focused on building an efficient, productive studio that concentrated on maintaining low overhead. This was accomplished in many ways. Taylor Studios, Inc. has a modern accounting system that allows for efficient bidding and controlled expenses. Financial planning, inventory control, budgeting, procurement and many other aspects of the business are closely managed and constantly evaluated for performance. The facility is simple but modern, with no extravagant extras. Taylor Studios, Inc. has established a reputation for creative, quality exhibits that are completed on time and in budget.

Technology
Aside from standard construction, fabrication and design, Taylor Studios, Inc. has experience in computer-based interactive multimedia and video productions. We have designed and created interactive laser disk programs, interactive computer programs, videos and digital audio productions. We have used modern software and computer technology to create 3-D animations, creative audio programs, mural compositions and more. Many of our murals are prototyped digitally using computer graphics before the first drop of paint is touched to canvas. We also use our computer technology in our day-to-day business activities including an advanced accounting system, databases, spreadsheets, designs, etc. On the fabrication side, we keep abreast of the latest innovations in materials, tools and production methods.
