Case Studies

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Zebra Visuals partners with Massachusetts Maritime Academy and 3thought, a Plymouth-based design studio, to produce banners for the 2024 International Association of Maritime Universities Annual General Assembly conference.

The International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) is a global network of leading maritime universities that provides maritime education and training.

Their Annual General Assembly (AGA) is a conference that brings together leaders from across the globe who represent these educational institutions to share knowledge, promote the industry, and pave the future. The 2024 IAMU / AGA Conference was held at Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay.

Your Partner in Collaboration

For this project, we collaborated with leadership at Mass. Maritime Academy and 3thought, a creative firm in Plymouth that provided graphic design services and art direction.

Following the brand guidelines and art direction from 3thought's design team, we presented scale proofs to the client for approval.

We then produced the banners using a dye sublimation process on knit fabric. This combination provides vibrant colors on a durable but lightweight substrate.

The banners were mounted on freestanding hardware that was easy to assemble, disassemble, and move as required.

The largest banner, measuring 8' tall and 10' wide, was oriented behind the podium, providing a branded and sophisticated visual backdrop for speakers.

Smaller banners were situated throughout the event space to provide brand consistency and photo opportunities for attendees.

"We recently worked with Zebra Visuals for our conference, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive, and creative. The signage they produced was top-notch—bold, clear, and visually stunning. Everything was perfectly aligned with our event's theme and branding guidelines."

"The quality of the prints was exceptional, and the materials used were durable, ensuring they looked great throughout the entire event. Zebra Visuals went above and beyond to accommodate our tight deadlines, delivering everything right on schedule without compromising quality.

"We highly recommend Zebra Visuals for any event or conference—trustworthy, creative, and detail-oriented! Thank you for making our conference a success!"
