Work for Allsports Productions
About Allsports Productions
Allsports Productions is based in Pompano Beach, Florida. They are an experienced team of creatives, planners, and operational professionals who have been producing events since 1995. Their services range from simple dock rentals to fully managed private and public events. Everything from concept development to onsite installation and management is handled by their in house staff. They specialize in scaling their approach to fit any request and any budget, which is a useful skill in the events world.
Allsports Productions is also the sister company to Southern Boating Magazine. The two organizations share resources and sometimes share collaborators.
What I Have Provided
Over the years I have produced maps for the Stuart Boat Show through my work with Allsports Productions. I have also created illustrations and graphics for both Allsports and Southern Boating Magazine as projects came up. The work has varied, but it has always been grounded in the marine and events industries that both companies serve.
What I Can Do for You
I provide custom illustrated map design and illustration services for events, publications, and venues. If you need work similar to what I have done for Allsports Productions, contact me. I have done this work before and I would be glad to do it for you.
BOAT SHOW MAPS ARTICLE - SOUTHERN BOATING MAGAZINE 2016:
"Navigating Miami’s multiple venues is easier when you use a map. If you’re at Yachts Miami Beach – formerly The Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show – the man behind those maps is John Potter of Escape Key Graphics, who created his first boat show map for the 201 Fort Lauderdale Int’l. Boat Show. It wasn't long before the creative concept spread. Less intimidating than site plans and more easier to follow than an aerial photography, Potter’s maps now grace the Stuart Boat Show, St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show in Florida and International Boat Shows like Newport, Palm Beach and Panama. His work on these shows frequently extends to many maps such as detailed area maps and transit maps. Potter’s maps can also be seen beyond the yachting industry in theme parks, resorts, wildlife sanctuaries, municipalities, campuses and gardens including Flamingo Gardens, Dinosaur World parks or The Dover International Speedway."
ADDENDUM:
