From time to time, I’ll have a client request that I create them a template and then they will “write to fit” whatever I design. You might think a designer would be excited to hear this, but I’m not. Designing first and then writing to fit feels backwards to me. The way I see it, design is a […]
Warning: Not so humble brag below… I’m very excited to share that some of my work created for Pi Beta Phi’s quarterly magazine, The Arrow, was awarded at the 2016 Fraternity Communications Association (FCA) Annual Conference. They submitted two features I had designed for them. The first, about philanthropy, was awarded second place for design of a feature […]
I’ve been helping out the marketing team at TransStates airlines for about 6 months. TransStates flies on behalf of United Airlines (as United Express) and American Airlines (as American Eagle), so while I didn’t realize it at the time, I’m sure I have (and maybe you have!) been a passenger on one of their flights. […]
I got a chance to team up with The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management this fall for a couple fun projects. The organization is an alliance of leading American business schools and businesses, working together to enhance diversity in business education and in corporate leadership. One of the projects we just finished up was […]
I recently teamed up with the WUSTL University College staff to help them with their Spring 2016 Course Catalog. For years, this piece was a boring, black and white catalog printed on newsprint. As University College is primarily adult learners and continuing education opportunities, the staff was ready to come up with a fresh new […]
In the past couple years, infographics have exploded all over the web. But they’ve been around long before that. Infographics are simply visual representations of data. That includes everything from maps to graphs to the weather icons you see in the newspaper. So can your data be an infographic? Yes, the answer is always going […]
This summer I’ve had the pleasure of working with the University College at Washington University in St. Louis. After using the same agency for years (I’m pretty sure I remember her saying it was upwards of 15 years), there were some staff changes at University College and they decided it was time for a change. […]
I’ve been working with ZeaVision for a couple months now. The company, based in Chesterfield, works to preserve healthy vision. I’ve helped them out with web banners, postcards, social media graphics, and, as you can see below, some box stuffers to be sent to customers and doctors. The two box stuffers below highlight the results […]
I was so happy to have the chance to work with the team over at Pi Beta Phi on another issue The Arrow. For this issue, I helped with the cover and a feature story on life lessons. There was a lack of images available and so we took it as an opportunity to bring inographic, and some […]
We’re a few days into 3rd quarter now, and its full on summer here in St. Louis. Looking back, here are a few awesome things about the 2nd quarter of 2015: Kicking off projects with Washington University in St. Louis. I’m teaming up with their University College staff to help them update their branding, and […]
Design Speak: Press CheckMarch 9, 2022 - 3:57 pmI realize that sometimes it seems like graphic designers (and printers) have their own language. I’ve started the Design Speak series here on my blog so I can help clarify some of these terms you may hear, but not totally understand. Has your printer ever asked you if you want to do a press check? […]
Why You Should Care about your Lead Magnet DesignJune 1, 2020 - 4:14 pmThese days, so many marketers or entrepreneurs offer a lead magnet to gather information on perspective customers. Often, it will be a downloadable PDF in exchange for a name and email address. Maybe an eBook, a checklist, or a case study. It helps you in future marketing efforts because then you’ve got some information on […]
Design Speak: Hi Res and Low ResJune 21, 2019 - 3:27 pmI realize that sometimes it seems like graphic designers (and printers) have their own language. I’ve started the Design Speak series here on my blog so I can help clarify some of these terms you may hear, but not totally understand. The terms hi res and low res are used to describe photos, but admittedly […]
