public library newsletter :: illustration + design
client: Elk Grove Village Public Library
We gave the traditional printed newsletter format a new spin by making the front cover a coloring page. We created a custom illustration showing a summer view of the library. Patrons were invited to get creative and engage with the cover by coloring it and bringing it back to the library. It’s fun to see the variety of colored pages that were submitted.
Instead of printing on the usual coated (slightly glossy) paper stock, an uncoated paper was selected to accept most types of mediums – crayons, colored pencils, markers…
Give us a chance to lend your next project a new creative approach.
Welcome to the new year! I hope your holidays were relaxing and spent with family and friends. Now it’s time to get back to business – or ease into it, anyway.
Hopefully we can bid farewell to these trends (and phrases) as we begin the new year:
Fidget spinners
Ripped denim – what’s old is new again…and again?
Charcoal in everything – drinks, toothpaste, facial products…
Unicorn frappuccinos – huge dose of sugar masked by disturbing color
Fake News!
Any other suggestions? Send ’em over!
Hope to hear from you in the new year.
• re-branding / updating logo • trade show displays • advertising • graphics for special events • redesigning your website
… oh yeah, and dancing in the streets!
With the first day of summer upon us, it’s the ideal time for outdoor activities. Though we’ve also been busy with several new projects inside [New Work].
We had the pleasure of working with the amazing team at Wilmette Public Library. Not only did we rebrand & develop a new logo, but we also designed their new responsive website. Project goals: create a dynamic site that’s highly intuitive and works well on any device (mobile, desktop, tablet).
Enjoy the rest of your summer before the days start getting shorter. (Wait, summer solstice just happened?)
Welcome to 2016! I hope your holidays were filled with relaxation and time with family and friends. Now it’s time to get back to business! (…or ease into it, anyway.)
Hopefully we can leave these phrases behind in the new year:
Core Competency
It Is What It Is
Sorry, Not Sorry
Just Sayin’
Be safe, stay warm, and please keep in touch. Hope to hear from you in 2016.
