48th Annual Event Campaign for PACC

Hello friends, it's been a while!

I have been so busy with my photography. In the spring I began designing some looks for PACC's 48th Annual event. For this, I created three pieces of stationary. The Save the Date, The Invite and Program for the festivities. Both images were formatted for an email blast as well. Please see the designs below and let me know if you likey!

Walking Tour Marketing Materials

The Executive Director of PACC decided to hold a walking tour in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. This was a pilot event and we decided not to go over the top with the event design and outreach. So the invitation was a simple design; Using the organization's colors, white background and simple fonts in the following styles- Script, bold, sans serif, and serif.

The event was by invite only. So when we got a nice number of people that had rsvp-ed, i decided to step it up a notch and provide folks with programs and water bottles. i think these turned out really good! I can't take credit for the layout, those i found online, but I was able to tweak the theme to reflect the colors and fonts in the invitation. Pretty cool for a small local gathering!

Dedication invites for the Stevens family

In June 2009, i had the opportunity to design some memorial ceremony invites for the Stevens family. Sadly, they had lost their little girl, Jacinda, in a car accident. The family contacted me again this past April. I was so ecstatic to hear they had just had twin boys! Ms Stevens wanted to go with the same layout: a 6 inch square (metallic) invite: logo on front, an insert and coordinating envelopes.

Here are some pics of the set. I dabbled with Jacinda's logo and realized. Twins=Yin Yang! Superb idea :) Continuity was an important factor in the design. I wanted to show that she is still in their hearts as they embark on a new chapter of their life as a family.

Here is the logo:

The color scheme was green, blue with yellow as the accent color:

Assembly Line!

The colors were so Summery!

Here are the rest of the logo samples, enjoy!

I know, I know.....

...I haven't been keeping up with my blog as much as i should. And although not a lot of you comment, i can see the traffic that comes through here and quite frankly its flattering.

I promise there is a reason why i haven't been more attentive. One of the reasons is I have been working my butt off at work on a huge project and a big event that took place recently. Now i am moving on to another event taking place on the 18th of this month. So ill post the paper designs I've been working on very soon. Including the finished set to Patten and Nove's Blue Bridge invites, and Caroline and Tom's invite set.

Here's something I came up with yesterday for a "Green" event I'm helping to coordinate.

Map for a new housing development

My job has developed The Gates Cooperative, a green design (leed certified) apartment building in Bedford Stuyvesant. Our Housing Development Director just loves the maps I put together. so he asked me to create a community map of the development and surrounding schools and major transportation hubs. You can see The Gates Coops at its very website: www.thegatescoop.org

take a look at the map, and for a starting price bracket of 87k for a one bedroom, you cant beat that!
