Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach with a concentration in Visual Arts. Alastair is currently a Junior in the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Studio Arts department with a keen interest in experiential design and digital mixed media. He will receive an AA degree from FAU in Studio Arts this December. In the future, Alastair would like to design and develop concept art or digital assets for use in the film or gaming industries. Alastair has worked in the family business, Boynton Ace Hardware, for many years. Some of his job duties involve merging artistic flair with a practical marketing focus. From creating the business logo and reworking the store’s marketing schema to mesh with that of the city, to painting the dumpster with a Frutiger Aero aesthetic design to discourage taggers, Alastair has successfully utilized art to accomplish the goals of promoting his local family-owned business. Alastair’s portfolio will be presented on request. The Mural Project The mural is an underwater design in the Frutiger Aqua aesthetic. The popular Frutiger Aqua style, prevalent from 2004–2013, combines semi-stylized depictions of familiar maritime flora and fauna with bright, vibrant colors and dream-like futuristic imagery. This mural is meant to focus on Boynton’s proximity to the ocean while also stimulating interest in local fishing and diving opportunities, a key piece of Boynton’s downtown marketing focus. The family has a long history of involvement in Boynton’s local fishing industry, beginning with two great-grandfathers who were charter boat Captains in Boynton between the 1950’s and 1980’s. The family retains a keen interest in the conservation of the local marine habitat as well as preservation of Boynton’s local history. This underwater scene both celebrates our past and encourages future interest in marine conservation. The mural is intended to be an artistic highlight in the fast-developing downtown area surrounding Boynton Ace Hardware. 74
