The Black and White Lab expands with the Digital Explosion

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:43:00 GMT

After nearly 25 years in the business, Lou George, CEO and president of The Black & White Lab Inc., was hit hard by the industry switch from traditional film processing to digital photography. To handle the lost business, she refocused the company on products and services to a wider range of consumers. In 1999, she launched BWC Creative to handle creative design and Museumscapes LLC to focus on the growing demand for museum exhibition work.

Lou George fell in love with the magic of photography the first time she watched a photographic image develop. She knew then that it was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. In 1975, she and her then-husband, Walt Huckabee, founded The Black & White Lab Inc. as a black and white film processing laboratory. Despite getting its start in the middle of a recession, The Black & White Lab, doing business as BWC Photo Imaging, has grown to include two other offshoots — BWC Creative and Museumscapes LLC — and grew annual revenue last year to $8.7 million.

Travel | Section H | Article by Keven Ann Willey | 09/07/08

A Week in Big Bend. Our itinerary puts park’s splendor within your reach. “Drive to Alpine, 24 miles away, and enjoy the fabulous, free but-little-known Museum of the Big Bend in Building 8 at Sul Ross State University. This innovative museum provides a great introduction to the region. Plan to spend at least an hour; we spent several.”

Note: What the article doesn’t reveal is that this successful five-year project features 5,000 square feet of engaging exhibits supported by monumental murals, detailed rock work, topical videos, interactive touch screens, and interpretive graphic panels that inform and excite the visitor about the vast and interesting history of the Big Bend region. All produced by Museumscapes and BWC Creative. Visit the Museum of the Big Bend next time you are in Alpine, TX or online at www.sulross.edu/museum/

Wonders and Worries Guitar

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:41:00 GMT

“We were honored and inspired to help raise awareness and funding for Wonders & Worries,” says Megan Roe, Creative Director of Dallas-based design firm BWC Creative. “The guitar turned out so awesome and we’re sure that it will inspire someone to offer a great donation at auction.”

Collaboration is a beautiful thing. “It’s a concept that defines our creative philosophy, so when BWC Creative was selected to design a guitar for the W&W fundraiser, we were grateful to have the opportunity to donate our services,” says Ms. Roe. “It was an honorable cause and a great opportunity to do a really cool project.” In addition, the Epiphone Dot electric guitar was donated by Gibson Guitars in Austin. Todd Wingo, a master at wrapping vinyl graphics, and Mark Garcia of Dallas-based printer, Mad Ink, collaborated to provided their services for this cause.

When creative forces combine, energy emerges. Don Huff, professional designer and illustrator at BWC Creative, describes his inspiration… “The Hope Tree is children’s book by Laura Numeroff and Dr. Wendy Harpham and an activity at W&W where kids write their hopes and fears on a leaf and place them on a tree. We saw pictures of the trees created at W&W and I was very moved by the children’s simple prayers. I used the neck of the guitar as the trunk and let a simple illustration of branches and leaves flow across the face of the guitar. The children’s wishes on the leaves, a child’s hand placing a leaf on the tree and a heart at the center completed the design.”

Wonders & Worries is an Austin, Texas based charity with a mission to provide psychological support for children and families coping with life threatening illnesses. To learn more about the auction or to donate to Wonders & Worries, please visit them on-line at wondersandworries.org or call 512.329.5757. BWC Creative is a place where ideas flourish — providing four distinct services in Design, Print, Web and Exhibit. See Todd Wingo’s work at myspace.com/toddwingo. Mark Garcia at Mad Ink can be reached at 214.562.2801.
