Newsletter: Winter Teen Matters

This is a quarterly newsletter that I regularly design for Wyman Center, Inc., a nonprofit youth development organization based in St. Louis, Mo. You can view the full newsletter as well as previous issues at www.wymancenter.org/Publications.

2008 Election

I created this campaign sign/logo recently for Brooks Lillehei, who is running for Lakeville (MN) City Council.

Recruitment Event Invite

This invitation was to invite young professionals to a fall-themed recruitment event, hosted by Wyman Center's (nonprofit youth development organization) Young Leader's Board. The background is a photograph I took on Wyman's campus.

Newsletter: Teen Matters

This is the latest issue of Teen Matters, a quarterly newsletter (sometimes with a bonus issue) to the constituent base of Wyman Center, Inc., a nonprofit youth development organization based out of St. Louis. You can see all issues in full by visiting www.wymancenter.org/Publications. I redesigned the organization's existing newsletter almost two years ago, and have designed every issue since (nine issues since spring 2007). Up until this fall (when I moved to Minnesota), I also did all the photography and most of the writing and research.

Appreciation Event Invite

I designed this invitation set for a donor appreciation event last year. It was one of my first experiences using Adobe Illustrator for illustration. I thought it turned out quite nicely!

Postcards: Reminders to Pet Owners

This is a series of postcard templates that I designed for Intravet, a company that provides services to animal hospitals and veterinarians. These postcards are part of a selection their clients choose from when they want to send appointment reminders.

Logo

I did this little logo for Parkway Northeast Middle School as part of a campaign they are running to highlight the school's values: responsibility, respect, honesty, integrity and caring.

Masthead, Postcard: Marketing for Trade Show

I designed this masthead and postcard for a direct marketing company that - among other things - works with clients preparing for trade shows. The client's potential customers (people who will be attending the trade show) receive a personalized postcard telling them a bit about the company and directing them to their personal URL for a chance to win a prize (cameras, iPods, etc.). There they learn more about the company and the upcoming trade show, and the company collects useful information, such as email addresses. The masthead I designed shows up at the top of the URL and creates uniformity with the direct mail piece. 

Flier: Camp Store

I produced these items for a camp store. The flier also serves as an order form, and the nature maze is a postcard-sized freebie for the kids.

Postcard: To Cat Owners

I designed this postcard for use by a veterinary clinic to educate cat owners about the risks of Feline Heart Worm Disease and to encourage them to bring their pet in for testing.

A Thousand Together Campaign

The goal of this campaign is to rally 1,000 people who are willing to commit $1,000 over the next three years to fund Wyman programs that support St. Louis teens from disadvantaged circumstances. I gathered the statistics, interviewed and photographed the teens, wrote the copy and designed the pieces for this campaign. Shown above are the logo, the direct mail piece (outside and inside) and the poster used to build awareness at events.

Postcards: In the Doghouse

I photographed and designed these postcards for a marketing company developing a campaign that involves sending out reminder cards for florists, specifically targeting men.

Thank You Card: Wedding

I custom-designed this thank you card using photographs from the couple's wedding. They were able to add a personal, yet still professional, touch to their wedding thank-yous.

Marketing Materials: Wyman Center, Inc.

Shown above are a postcard, info card (to use as an insert or hand-out) and a summary brochure on the organization, Wyman Center, Inc. I created the brochure to fit a #10 business-sized envelope perfectly, which makes the brochure much more versatile than wider brochures, and more professional than a standard tri-fold brochure, which will float around in the envelope. The background on the front of the brochure and the inside left image of the teens are photographs I took on-site at Wyman.
