Casual Market

The annual Casual Market tradeshow showcases all things in the outdoor furnishings category as it draws manufacturers and attendees from around the world. With such a rich range of products to draw from, the visual design sought to reveal the beautiful furniture within a range of gorgeous outdoor photos. Headlines and translucent boxes melded into photo as highlight colors were drawn from the scene itself.
