The Lighthouse Center for Healing

Scope

The Lighthouse Center for Healing needed a completely new set of communications materials to introduce clients to their services and provide information about resources and events. We designed a new logo, identity, print collateral and exterior signage for the Lighthouse and created this custom website using WordPress as a CMS. The site features a home page slideshow, events calendar, interior tabs (enables users to view additional content without reloading the page), photo gallery, embedded maps and contact forms. We provide hosting, ongoing maintenance and support for this website on our private server.

Other aspects of this project include print brochures, rack cards, exterior signage, stationery and business cards. We provided copywriting for the website and print collateral as well. Please visit again soon to see samples of these pieces, or contact us for more information.

Show Me Love DC! Campaign, spearheaded by WEAVE (Women Empowered Against Violence)

URL

http://showmelovedc.org/

Scope

Show Me Love DC! is a campaign to raise awareness about healthy relationships and provide resources for LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence. We created this new website as the primary campaign outreach tool, developing the new logo and identity to communicate a friendly, urban vibe. Because a significant portion of the target audience is Spanish-speaking, we added bilingual functionality enabling visitors to toggle between English and Spanish versions of the website. This website is custom built using WordPress as a CMS.

The website also features a slideshow and gallery of postcards from the Show Me Love DC! postcard project. Campaign staff hosted postcard decorating parties and tables at local events, as well as soliciting individual postcard submissions. Each participant created postcards illustrating what healthy love means to them. The collection of postcards is displayed on the website and may be developed into books and/or free-standing art exhibits in the future.

Campaign staff used Twitter and Facebook to develop a community of supporters and expand their outreach. In addition to the website, we produced print ads, web ads and giveaway items (e.g., temporary tattoos) to help spread the word and engage supporters. Please visit back soon for portfolio samples of these items.

Rachel Simmons

Scope

Our goal was to create a simple yet striking typographically-based logo for Rachel Simmons. She wanted her new look to reference feminine strength with immediate visual impact and modernist flair. We designed this logo to function like a label, with or without her tagline “Leadership for Life.”

Capital Area Asset Builders (CAAB)

Scope

As the economy began to sour last year, CAAB decided to name their annual fundraising event “In the Black” to celebrate their clients’ success in remaining debt-free even during difficult economic times. They asked to brand the event with a dramatic, elegant and colorful look suitable for an evening event but still down-to-earth and not too formal. We designed and illustrated this invitation, program and signage package to attract donors to the event while celebrating CAAB’s achievements over the previous year.

JME Productions

Scope

JME Productions, a media production company, asked us to design a new identity and website for their company. They wanted a simple, modern, tech-savvy look that was still approachable. We designed this logo and stationery in response.

The Asia Foundation Women’s Program

Scope

The Asia Foundation Women’s Program approached us with a need to reach out to higher-end donors in a coordinated, inspiring way. We brought in Jamie Diliberto, our trusted fundraising consultant and copywriter, and worked closely with The Asia Foundation to create the Lotus Circle, a giving community of high-end donors. While providing strategic consulting on how the Lotus Circle would be positioned and structured, we designed the identity and complete look and feel for the Lotus Circle and crafted brochure and outreach text. We then designed and printed a collection of unique outreach materials, including:

• a custom mini-folder (designed to fit in a #10 envelope)
• an informational booklet
• printable mini-letterhead insert for mini-folder
• an updatable welcome newsletter
• two custom HTML email stationery templates for updates and invitations

International Center for Research on Women (ICRW)

Scope

We created this outreach kit for ICRW’s Insight to Action Circle, a small group of high-end donors. After designing the logo and identity, we crafted a custom enclosure piece that gradually unfolds to walk the reader through the message to the final destination of additional information and a donation envelope. The design reflects a handmade look constructed using scans of actual paper, patterns, handwriting and stitching Dawn created with her sewing machine.
