The challenge: To design and build a display with all Earth-friendly materials that could be set up and taken down quickly as well as store flat inside a road case on Bonnie Raitt's 2005-2006 tour.

The creation: The display was designed to have three panels, made with recycled chipboard, where the two outer panels would fold in when taken down, allowing the piece to store flat. An image of a redwood forest (courtesy of Jodie Coston) was purchased, printed, cut and mounted to the three panels of the display. The three bags at the bottom of the center panel, which hold the printed brochures, were sewn together with hemp fabric and supported with recycled aluminum rims that fit securely into holes drilled into the display. This allowed the bags to quickly be removed from the display and also store flat. Holes were also drilled every 1/2 inch around each panel where hemp twine was threaded through for extra protection and to add more of an organic texture to the design. The back was painted with lush green hues reminiscent of forest leaves and shrubs.

The brochure was printed with soy-based inks on recycled paper and along with the display can be seen at venues on Bonnie Raitt's tour. To learn more about Green Highway and Bonnie's activism, visit www.greenhighway.net.
