3D technical illustrations for national wood flooring association

The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) is the leading voice of the wood flooring industry in North America. NWFA needed original artwork and multiple 3D technical illustrations for the latest edition of its Wood Flooring Installation Guidelines publication, NWFA's flagship product, which had not been updated for nearly a decade. ruef had worked with NWFA previously on technical illustrations for earlier publications and content for NWFA's magazine, Hardwood Floors. This new round of technical illustrations included job site descriptions, moisture detection, basements and crawlspaces, industry terminology and more.

our process

ruef 3D artists worked directly with NWFA’s V.P. of Technical Standards, Training, & Certification, Brett Miller, who provided the details needed to create the most technically in-depth illustrations possible. ruef 3D artists took great care to design the illustrations in a user-friendly, modern way. The project underwent multiple rounds of feedback to ensure accuracy and reader comprehension.
