DESIGN PROJECTS

Project: Brochure
Using a previous designer's elements, I provided brand continuity with the following brochures for a local cemetery and funeral home to market their natural burial, aqua cremation, and cremation memorialization options. I provided copy editing, layout, and photography editing. I enjoyed working with the client to provide a focused concept to help stay within budget.

Print Newsletters
I have been producing printed newsletters since 2016 for a state association representing cemetery owners, operators, and vendors. Prior versions were done in Microsoft Word, so I was excited to use InDesign to give the association's communications a fresher, more professional look. I love the challenge of fitting all the pieces together. The design evolved over time to incorporate a more efficient way to print and mail them, saving the organization money. You will note some of my writing and photography in these newsletters as well. Here are just three examples. The Spring 2018 issue may especially be of interest as that contains a write-up on green burial.

Design  |  Layout
The challenge: Create a 2-sided summer cocktail menu with additional offerings, using the same size format as previous menu. I added the pub's name, logo, address, social media identifiers, and website address, using fonts and a layout that customers could easily read in a dimly lit environment.

Project: Menu
Portland's oldest diner, Skyline Restaurant, wanted a menu that would fit nicely at the tables, could be cleaned quickly and easily, and have an updated look overall. The former menu was placed in booklet-style plastic sleeves, while the new menu is a tri-fold.

Project: Poster
Restaurant with outdoor seating requested an announcement about cannabis use on public property demonstrating compliance with state law. So, what would make maximum impact while not sounding preachy? Darth Vader, of course. Document size: 22" x 28".

Project:  Social Media Promotions

Using available image resources, I created shareable content for a designer resale clothing boutique.

Project: Coupon
This is a two-sided "rack card" using logo designed by someone else and available images from client.
