Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center (Phase I) – Interpretive Exhibit Graphics

Rarely has work been so fun as when I had the opportunity to develop the graphics program for the Weather Discovery Center in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania! The PWDC is located in a re-purposed post office and uses the legendary Punxsutawney Phil (the famous weather “predicting” groundhog) as a vehicle for weather education. Visitors to the PWDC are treated to a collection of postal artifacts, the Meteorologist Hall of Fame, Phil’s Burrow and a host of interactive exhibits.

Three of nine large translucent window graphics in the lobby of the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center are shown here. Each graphic illustrates a different weather condition and a person interacting with that weather.

Punxsutawney Phil, of Groundhog Day fame, is quite a popular rodent. This thematic graphic (above) show a couple of his biggest fans.

Safety Equipment and Bromine Diagrams

Junk Food - Illustrations

These were part of an interactive exhibit about how we should all drink milk and avoid “junk” foods. It was sponsored by a dairy. Anyway, I did my best to make the junk food look shriveled and sickly. I must admit, though, that this drawing is making me hungry for a pretzel. Bon appetit!

Water Tunnel - Illustrations

Six illustrations from a larger series depicting the relationships between humans, animals and our water are shown above.

Work completed while employed by DesignCraftsmen.
