Step Inside Design Magazine - Alternative Corporate Universe

As a designer, keeping my creative skills current is very important. When I saw a request in an issue of STEP Design Magazine for designers to submit a “redesign” of a popular corporate logo, I used the opportunity to exercise my creativity. The logo I submitted, a mocking of McDonalds’ famous golden arches, was selected as a finalist and printed in the September/October 2008 issue.

Postcards

I created these postcards for two trade shows in which our company participated. The postcards were sent to trade-show attendees to encourage them to visit our booth and check out our new products. The post cards also contained a pin number for participation in a raffle contest. I designed these postcards using a schemata that corresponded with both our corporate design and the location of each trade show. I oversaw the printing of these postcards from start to finish.

Marian Greenblatt Education Fund

This nonprofit agency provides awards for outstanding teachers in Montgomery County Maryland and promotes excellence in education. The Director of this fund was interested in giving the organization’s Web site a new look. After collaborating with the Director, I suggested that they use a simple content management system that would allow them to update the site regularly and independently. I designed a new look for the site and implemented the design into WordPress. I provided training and support to the Director and his assistant to help them learn this new system.

This client was in desperate need of a new Web site to promote her music career. Her site needed a new look to match the progress she had made in her music, and she also wanted the ability to update her site independently.

off our backs

off our backs is a feminist news journal run by a collective in Washington, DC. I volunteered to work with this organization to revamp their image on the Web. Working with this group, I created a new look for their site, taking into account the content of their publications, their goal as an organization, and their significant grassroots history. Thus far, I have provided this group with a new design, and they are currently determining what features to offer on their new Web site.
