This is a technical illustration created for Softrol, a leading manufacturer of equipment and systems for industrial laundering facilities and similar businesses. They have a full product line that can be used to maximize efficiency throughout each part of a typical laundry facility and they wanted to be able to show that to their customers. Unfortunately, an actual facility is usually quite complicated and not exactly “camera ready” so to get around this, we created and illustrated an ideal facility so that we could keep it neat and clean and eliminate some items that weren’t as important so that we could focus on the the products and systems that we wanted to focus. The process started out with a tour of four local facilities, lots of pictures and sketches and then we worked on pencil drawings until we had our ideal plant. After that I took the pencils and scanned them in and started to render them in Adobe Illustrator. After several revisions we ended up with this illustration that can be enlarged or shrunk as needed and is a great tool for the Softrol sales team to use as they talk about their products in every part of a typical facility.
