I was pleased to partner with the team over at Blank Page Consulting to help their client, The OASIS Institute, on their 2014 Annual Report. I had designed their 2013 Annual Report as well, but this year was a bit more robust – in addition to a short print report, we also created a program overview for […]
A few weeks ago I had the chance to work with the team over at Blank Page Consulting to help promote the book Painting for Peace in Ferguson. I was so happy for the opportunity to help, as it highlights some of the amazing artwork created in Ferguson last fall, and how that artwork was a […]
It’s officially spring and I’m loving it. As I type this post I have the windows open and am enjoying fresh air and sunshine. It’s fantastic. Back on a cold day in January, I went over and met with the team at Pi Beta Phi headquarters, which is, surprisingly, located in Town & Country, Missouri. Right in the middle […]
Spring officially begins this evening at 5:45PM (Central Time). In honor of the last few hours of winter, here are a few things that made it pretty awesome. Great projects with great clients like evolve24, Xtra Lease, Doe Run, DuPont, ZeaVision and Pi Beta Phi. My nephew was born! And he’s cute. You can see him over on […]
Right before the holidays I wrapped up two newsletter projects. Both were the exact same format – a 4-page 8.5×11 size that folded down to 8.5×5.5 for mailing. The first was for the Northeast Fire Protection District. This newsletter was sent out to community members in the NEFPD service area. The Chief was excited to share […]
Did you know that more data has been produced in the past 2 years than in the entire rest of the history of mankind? It boggles the mind! One client I work with regularly, evolve24, works to help companies make sense of the big media madness. Since their business is data, and incredibly complex data, […]
It’s 2015! In the 90s, the idea of 2015 sounded so futuristic. But here we are, still driving cars, not flying spaceships, and living on Earth, not Mars. As always, this time of year makes everyone both reflective on the past and eager to make resolutions for a better year to come. I’ve decided this […]
Christmas has absolutely crept up on me this year! I can’t believe that it’s less than 2 weeks away. My family likes to really go all out for the holidays, but for whatever reason, I’m just not feeling it this year. Maybe too many distractions? Whatever the reason, I put on some Christmas music today and […]
It’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving week. One year ago today, I realized I was probably going to be leaving my full-time job. I spent over 4 years at Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis. The organization has a great mission. I started out as the Marketing and Communications Associate (aka marketing department of one). After 2 […]
You might notice a few differences around here at annakeith.com. I’m still finessing things a bit, but you can probably already tell that I’ve made some updates to the site and this blog section. So, I hope you like the new look and take a little peek around. Meanwhile, I decided last week sometime that […]
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 […]
