In the fast-paced environment of a trade show, you have less than three seconds to capture a passerby’s attention. I collaborated with Reed Clothing to develop a high-impact, 47-second seamless loop designed to act as a visual magnet for their exhibition booth.

The Brief:

Reed Clothing needed a versatile motion asset for large-scale screens at their latest trade show. The animation had three primary goals:

1. Announce the New Website: Showcase the UI/UX of their refreshed e-commerce platform.
2. Highlight New Inventory: Feature the latest workwear arrivals in a dynamic way.
3. Reinforce Brand Identity: Keep the Reed logo central, and introduce additional branding within the Family of brands.

The Solution:

To compete with the visual noise of a trade show floor, I leaned into a high-energy, typography-driven style.

• Dynamic Typography: I used bold, rhythmic text animations to communicate brand values quickly, ensuring the message was clear even from a distance.
• E-commerce Showcase: Rather than static screenshots, I animated the new website within device mockups, giving viewers a “feel” for the online shopping experience.
• Seamless Looping: Technically, the piece was engineered as a 47-second infinite loop. This ensured the booth screens never went black or showed a jarring “replay” glitch, maintaining a premium brand feel throughout the day.

Results

Deliverables:

Trade show environments have varying technical requirements. I provided a suite of assets to ensure the team was prepared for any setup:

• Sound-On Version: Featuring a high-tempo soundtrack for social media teasers and booths with dedicated audio setups.
• 4K High-Bitrate Loop: Optimized for large-format LED walls.
• Muted Version: Specifically timed for video only environments where audio isn’t permitted.
