Jeff Jansen from Pathways Community Church in Largo, FL brings us banner-box-banner-box-banner stage design.
They were inspired by So Fresh and So Clean. They built the boxes individually into 2ft x 2ft squares (using 1x2s and 2x2s). They painted the frames black then stapled and covered them with a very thin cloth material they bought at Joann Fabrics.
Then they printed a graphic that Jeff designed in Illustrator onto banner material (about $125/panel). They hung each banner from a 2×2 nailed to the wall.
They stacked the boxes on top of each other and used LED Par 64 lights inside. Then they used the same lights at the bottom of each banner panel.
Total cost for the set: $1000.
I write and speak about the creative process – especially for churches. Call me a resource for the church creative wanting to make their ministry better.
Very smooth, like the look a lot!
Thanks Chaz, I’m glad you like it!
Jeff, I love your stage design. Are the box pillars built as one piece. Or did you build the boxes individually and stack them ontop of each other?
built the boxes individually into 2ft x 2ft squares
How far apart are the box towers?
Brad they are about 5 ft apart
Did you just use 1 light per tower of boxes, or did you use more?
Mike it’s 1 par 60 LED light per box and 1 per panel
Would I be able to get a close up picture of the boxes with some lights on inside them?
Mike, I’ll get you some close up shots, I just got back from Kids camp and I ended up sick the last couple of days, send me your email address to jjansen727@gmail.com
Do you have a close up shot of the boxes that you could post or email me? Thanks!
Brad Email me at jjansen727@gmail.com
Also what materials did you use to make the boxes
I loved this stage design and we are using the box concept for our student sanctuary. What type of material did you use to wrap inside the boxes?
Jeff, LOVE this design…It is very similar to our stage size, etc. I have two questions, #1 – Would you be willing to share the PS file for the design on the banners? OR #2 – If you guys are no longer using this design, could we buy the banners from you?
Brent, if I can find the PSD I’ll email it to you, I’m not sure if it’s psd or ai.
What type of fabric did you use to cover the squares?
I love this set! Could you send me the all of the above that everyone else has asked for? Thanks a bunch!
HI Jeff,
Could I get the PS File for the design for this set? We made boxes similar to this for another stage set. We will need to have this as soon as possible to get them printed and ready for our Sept.15 stage set.
Thanks!
