We are proud of the results these solutions achieved for our clients and we are grateful they have been recognized. Here is a brief description of each:

Left: Safe Kids Baltimore: Street safety poster – This fun pro bono project we created for Safe Kids Baltimore was used in the schools to teach kids how to be safe playing near and crossing the busy streets. The colors are bright and inclusive. The textures were gathered with a digital camera in our closets and around town.

Middle: Jewish Council for the Aging of Greater Washington: 2010 Productive Aging Award Dinner Invite – We have been designing the invite for the Productive Aging Award Dinner since 1996. Past Honorees include, Cokie & Steve Roberts, Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara, Phil Donahue, and Judith Viorst among many others. In 2010, the Honoree was Phyllis Richman who is the Former Restaurant Critic The Washington Post.

Right: University of Maryland Medical Center: 2010 Community Benefits Report – From Baltimore to Port-au-Prince & Beyond. That is the scope of UMMC's community outreach. It's pretty humbling and inspiring to work for a client who thinks this way. This book was a huge success for UMMC. We just finished the 2011 report which has been equally well-versed. Images of it are below.

2011 Community benefits Report

The 2010 Community benefits report was a huge success. When UMMC approached us an asked us to repeat last year's success while incorporating the newly implemented UM brand, we were eager to get started. UMMC is ecstatic with the result and we feel like it is mission accomplished. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with a client that has such a positive impact on so many lives.

 

BHB Birthday CD Take 1New Work:

Burke & Herbert Bank: 159th Birthday CD

To celebrate the Bank's 159th birthday, Burke & Herbert offered their customers a special birthday CD rate. For the campaign, we created posters, a brochure, digital display art and online ads. We were under a tight deadline to deliver creative and fortunately inspiration struck on the project launch call. Headlines were written and sketches presented ASAP. A photo shoot was quickly put together in which (sadly) no cupcakes were harmed. Click on the take 1 cover to the right to check out the in branch display stand.
