INDUSTRY SETTING
Penn-Mar Human Services provides a range of educational, vocational and residential programs for more than 400 individuals with developmental disabilities across Northern Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Penn-Mar is viewed by many as innovative, compassionate, committed and client-centered with a well-established reputation.

www.Penn-Mar.org

CHALLENGE
Penn-Mar was in need of a brand refresh to better reflect the organization’s tone and style that had evolved in recent years to become more bold and simple — working to avoid industry “lingo” and striving to share information in easy, straightforward ways.

In 2019, Penn-Mar merged with Change, Inc. (another regional disabilities program provider), and the need to blend the two organizations accelerated the desire to rebrand. The merger provided an opportunity to create a fresh look and a bolder voice that speaks more directly to their brand promise, their commitment to innovative leadership, and the courageous spirit that is in their DNA.

Additionally, 2021 marked Penn-Mar’s 40th anniversary. And as the organization reflected on the past four decades — from its inception as an organization that served 12 families to the innovative services they offer to thousands today — the opportunity was ripe to rebrand with a look and feel that better reflected their growth and innovation.

Penn-Mar partnered with Cut Once to develop a bold, fresh, simple, and cohesive brand identity to unite Penn-Mar’s employees, locations, and brand promise.

STRATEGY
When Penn-Mar merged with Change, it was crucial to understand the cultures, missions and values of both organizations to determine cross-organizational core value alignment.

The six-month process was intentional, rigorous, and informative and engaged all stakeholders in interviews, surveys, and questionnaires to gather insights on how each sector perceived their respective organization. Both were viewed as innovative, compassionate, courageous, and committed — providing the foundation for Cut Once to develop the merged organizations’ essence in a fresh way under a single umbrella: Live Courageously. This new tagline encapsulates their unwavering support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and empowers their team members, volunteers and families to be a part of something bigger than themselves and support a life well lived through a courageous spirit.

From Penn-Mar’s earliest days, the organization has been defined by passion, courage and strength — and that continued through the merger that, in their industry, is often uncharted territory and provides multiple challenges. But, Penn-Mar prevailed — and today, Penn-Mar’s communication efforts focus on emphasizing the people and the lives impacted, by highlighting the deep connections made within the communities.

RESULT
Cut Once translated this brand strategy into a bold new look for Penn-Mar Human Services, ushering in the next chapter of the organization's 40-year story of courage and commitment to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The updated visual and verbal brand identity program includes a new logo, updated color palette, targeted messaging, responsive CMS website, digital newsletter, social media, brand video, collateral, direct mail, apparel, graphic identifiers, and an empowering new tagline.

The new penn-mar.org website was designed with the courageous Penn-Mar community in mind, as well as the many people they hope to serve in the future. The site features robust resources that make connecting to Penn-Mar’s services and sharing in their mission simpler than ever. It’s also fully accessible, ensuring that everyone can navigate the site with ease. Most significantly, it’s a central hub celebrating the people with intellectual and developmental disabilities that Penn-Mar supports, their remarkable team members, and the many community members who make fulfilling the organization’s mission possible. Penn-Mar experienced 30,750 new visitors within the first 6 months of relaunch.

A brand-reveal video was created to visually tell the story of the “why” behind the new messaging, and to create excitement among their stakeholders about the future of the organization.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
”Our organization retained Cut Once as our partner in rebranding ourselves to better connect with Penn-Mar’s team members and families it supports. Throughout our extensive rebranding process, Cut Once consistently went above-and-beyond to elevate our vision and ensure we delivered impactful outcomes on time and on budget.

Our project was particularly challenging for several reasons. First, we needed a brand refresh that not only reflected our legacy of 40 years of providing innovative services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but also inspired audiences to get excited about the future we envision for our community. In addition, the updated brand needed to incorporate the bold and simpler tones and styles we’ve adopted in recent years. Complicating things further, in 2019, Penn-Mar merged with another human services organization, Change, Inc., and folded them into the Penn-Mar brand. The addition of Change sped up our timeline for creating a fresh new look and feel, as we wanted to develop a brand identity that would unite all of the new Penn-Mar.

Perhaps most significantly of all, we also needed to create a fully accessible website that served multiple audiences: potential team members, people Penn-Mar supports and their families, potential new Penn-Mar individuals, our current team members, donors, and the general public. Our “Services” section alone, which details the variety of programs Penn-Mar offers to people with disabilities, was complex and extensive. Cut Once worked closely with us to create a design that met all our audiences’ needs and provided practical, useful information without the website becoming overwhelming and unwieldy. They also designed the new site in a way that allows for frequently changing updates and easy future expansion if needed. It has a wonderfully visually appealing style that achieves the exact user experience we intended.

Simultaneous to the website work, Cut Once led the rebranding process, which ultimately resulted in a refreshed brand identity that was met with practically unanimous excitement. They not only developed a slew of newly designed marketing materials, but also created a new logo and tagline that are a perfect fit for the organization.

Throughout the entire process, Cut Once meticulously handled project management, with clear and frequent communications detailing the status of each component of the rebrand, what they needed from us, and expert advice on the best paths forward.

Simply put, we could not have achieved such a positive and impactful outcome without their extensive expertise, dynamic creativity, careful attention to detail, incredible customer service, and deep, intimate understanding of our mission and vision.”

The Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at Harvard Medical School partnered with Cut Once for assistance with branding RAISE, an international symposium which was designed to enable a transparent and public conversation to articulate the policy framework of AI in healthcare, including the pros and cons of distinct regulatory regimes that reflect the distinct values of the societies they serve. For example, one country may emphasize privacy while another stresses maximal data-sharing, or one country may favor aligning AI use with public health while another favors individual patient care.

RAISE took place in New England and was kept small (less than 150 invitees) so that all voices could be heard and engaged. The program included keynote addresses, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. The planned “output” was a framework document that outlines the tradeoffs along a spectrum of solutions to promote the ethical, equitable, and responsible application of AI to medicine internationally. Cut Once created the event logo, color palette, name tags, programs, posters, presentation slides, photo direction, and more.

With a circulation of 45,000, JHU Engineering showcases the leadership and global impact of the Johns Hopkins Whiting School faculty, students and alumni as they innovate to solve challenging societal problems. The editorial team does this by sharing stories about their educational activities, groundbreaking research, translational work, and accomplishments.

www.Engineering.JHU.edu

THE CHALLENGE
In 2013, the Whiting School felt the publication’s design no longer reflected the dynamism and excitement of the school’s top-ranked programs and initiatives. The editorial architecture had become confusing and dull. The erosion of editorial integrity left too many opportunities for outside input. The covers didn’t entice readers to explore the content within. And everything from the table of contents to the design of feature stories needed an overhaul, both
aesthetically and functionally. 

READERSHIP INSIGHTS
We always recommend beginning the redesign process with a focused readership survey in order to gain the necessary insights into what matters most to the magazine’s target audiences. In John Hopkins Engineering’s case, this included the following audiences:

• Hopkins Engineering alumni, donors and friends
• Hopkins Engineering faculty and staff
• US deans of engineering and department chairs
• University leadership
• Undergraduate Admissions
• Parents of current students

THE SOLUTION
JHU Engineering was redesigned from the ground up, to communicate the leadership and global impact of the Whiting School more effectively. From an editorial design and art direction standpoint, the departments are very visual, with shorter, punchier stories that allow the editors to more effectively capture the breadth of the engineering enterprise at Hopkins. The cover treatment sets the stage for the telling of the issue’s main feature story while teasing several other key stories each issue. 

The magazine opens to a dynamic, color-coded Table of Contents with feature story images that function as story teasers. The editorial architecture is clearly labeled, color-coded, simple and elegant. This clear organization and architecture provides defined buckets for content, and creates a clear, easy path for readers. The feature stories are the magazine’s crown jewels – showcased strongly with conceptual photography and illustration.

Cut Once supports the ongoing editorial, design, and art direction needs for JHU Engineering. This includes strategic planning, department and feature story ideation, art budget negotiation and management, illustration and photography development, technical design layout, printing/production management, online asset preparation, and vendor sourcing and management.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Greg Bennett and his team at Cut Once take the time to dig deep and come up with inventive and original approaches that make an impact and that show a real understanding of the content and of our goals. Their dedication to understanding our needs, the needs of our audiences, and the subject matter we cover, has resulted in a magazine that is engaging, effective, and that reflects the quality and reputation of our school. Cut Once never approaches a new magazine issue—or even an article—with a one-size-fits-all attitude. Beyond the magazine design process, Cut Once also provides a full complement of services, including expertise in editorial oversight and management of production and our digital content, that have enabled us to streamline our projects and processes while creating cohesive and effective communications.

Now part of Penn Medicine, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences is South Central Pennsylvania’s only college focused exclusively on health sciences, with more than two dozen academic programs serving 1,700+ students. Throughout the past century, PA College has grown from one nursing program with a handful of students to a thriving college offering more than 14 degree programs.

www.PACollege.edu

THE CHALLENGE
PA College launched inPractice magazine in 2014 with the aim of building connections with alumni and other stakeholders. Within a few years, the internal team realized the need to outsource the editorial production of each issue. College leaders turned to Cut Once to lead a redesign and re-thinking of the publication’s editorial structure and to assume ongoing editorial management.

READERSHIP INSIGHTS
Budget permitting, we always recommend beginning the redesign process with a focused readership survey in order to gain the necessary insights into what matters most to the magazine’s target audiences. In PA College’s case, this included the following audiences:

• Alumni, donors and friends
• Faculty and staff
• Deans and department chairs
• University leadership
• Parents of current students

THE SOLUTION
PA College partnered with Cut Once to raise the college’s institutional profile within the region and beyond, by showcasing the College’s “unparalleled” curricular offerings (in both nursing and health science programs) and its commitment to student-centered learning. 

To achieve this mission, we led the redesign of inPractice, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences magazine. The newly conceived magazine, which debuted in Spring 2019, is now re-branded as PA College: Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences Magazine. In addition to a new name and new masthead, the publication’s editorial architecture, thoughtfully conceived by award-winning editorial consultant Sue De Pasquale, creates opportunities for strategic development of the content plan for each issue, which mindfully balances coverage of nursing and health science programs. The goal: to raise the College’s institutional profile within the region and beyond, and at establishing College faculty, leaders, and alumni as “thought leaders” within the world of health education.

Cut Once supports the ongoing editorial, design, and art direction needs for PA College Magazine. This includes strategic planning, department and feature story ideation, art budget negotiation and management, illustration and photography development, technical design layout, printing/production management, online asset preparation, and vendor sourcing and management.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Given limited staffing resources and full plates in our office, we recently decided to partner with Greg Bennett and Cut Once to provide assistance with and management of the production of our College’s magazine. In addition, he and his team helped us with a total overhaul of the publication that included a new name for the piece, masthead, and strategizing a new editorial blueprint for the content.

We have been thrilled with the results so far and how easy it is to work with Cut Once. Everyone here at the College loves the new look and content and they feel that we’ve really elevated the piece to a whole new level. Cut Once definitely brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table as well as a very strategic and structured approach to the magazine. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Cut Once on our College’s most important communication tool.

The Women’s Board of The Johns Hopkins Hospital (WBJHH), a non-profit volunteer organization, has raised millions of dollars through hands-on work in presenting special events, managing hospital gift, thrift and coffee shops, and soliciting contributions from generous members of the community. Funds raised by the WBJHH provide grants to Johns Hopkins to improve patient care and contribute to medical and nursing scholarships. 

THE CHALLENGE
The WBJHH lacked compelling, effective messaging that connected with the target audiences; and, as a result, were not reaching their full potential as far as generating revenue and increasing impact on the communities served. We were challenged to bring the idea of “patient care” to life through more frequent, tangible, specific and compelling storytelling that illuminates why it really matters. 

THE SOLUTION
Cut Once started with preparing discovery questionnaires that were sent to both Board members and grantees to take a deeper dive into the Board’s current target audience perceptions, messaging and positioning within both the local Baltimore and hospital communities.

Based on the findings, Cut Once developed a branding strategy and campaign concept that better communicates the depth and breadth of the Board’s impact, allowing audiences to more fully understand the mission and better relate to the needs of patients and their families. And ultimately, feel compelled to donate to the ongoing fundraising efforts that positively impact patient care. 

The new messaging, “Become Part of the Transformation”, illustrates how direct donations and patronizing the Board’s in-hospital shops and fundraising events are transformed into a gift that goes directly to improving experiences for patients, doctors, and families alike. Cut Once also helped WBJHH write and cohesively agree upon a new tagline for the organization: Funding Advances in Patient Care since 1927.

Cut Once translated this strategy into multiple communication tools, including a fundraising awareness campaign, new tagline, website refresh, Facebook Ads, and hospital signage.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
The Women’s Board is a volunteer, nonprofit organization that raises funds for The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The group does so many things and supports such a broad array of programs at Johns Hopkins that it was struggling to create a brand, a clear consistent public message. Greg Bennett and his team at Cut Once, who on a pro bono basis, surveyed the various constituencies of the Board—its members, Johns Hopkins employees and staff, donors, customers at its businesses, recipients of grants. The report on perceptions of the Board, internally and externally, was professionally done, enlightening and encouraging. The agency then developed three communication strategies to articulate the Board’s purpose and impact. Greg was patient with the process of working with a volunteer driven group where each member is a stakeholder. Cut Once kept the process on a timeline and succeeded in helping the group create one clear, concise message from the three communication strategies. For next steps, the Women’s Board has retained Cut Once for help with taking the key messaging public through a variety of mediums, to enhance support for projects throughout Johns Hopkins and the Baltimore community.

Haka clothing was not only inspired by Maori, but by New Zealand's entire sport culture as well. It thrives on the challenge of competition and is driven by performance in every sense of the word. This brand launch campaign consists of both full-page and quarter-page consecutive trade print ads, trade microsite, and a consumer launch ad.

The art direction for the Haka brand look was draws on the traditional Haka dance and ancient Maori tribal art. The brand expression was brought to life by blending the Maori culture with modern day athletes playing Rugby and people engaging in Parkour (the art of moving). Parkour is a discipline where participants move along a path and negotiate varying obstacles while defying gravity.

This will engender accurate and precise clinical decision-making regarding personalized treatment and optimized cardiac patient care.

Given limited staffing resources and full plates in our office, we recently decided to partner with Greg Bennett and Cut Once to provide assistance with and management of the production of our College’s magazine. In addition, he and his team helped us with a total overhaul of the publication that included a new name for the piece, masthead, and strategizing a new editorial blueprint for the content.

We have been thrilled with the results so far and how easy it is to work with Cut Once. Everyone here at the College loves the new look and content and they feel that we’ve really elevated the piece to a whole new level. Cut Once definitely brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table as well as a very strategic and structured approach to the magazine. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Cut Once on our College’s most important communication tool.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Greg Bennett and his team at Cut Once take the time to dig deep and come up with inventive and original approaches that make an impact and that show a real understanding of the content and of our goals. His dedication to understanding our needs, the needs of our audiences, and the subject matter we cover, has resulted in a magazine that is engaging, effective, and that reflects the quality and reputation of our school. Cut Once never approaches a new magazine issue—or even an article—with a one-size-fits-all attitude. Beyond the magazine design process, Cut Once also provides a full complement of services, including expertise in editorial oversight and management of production and our digital content, that have enabled us to streamline our projects and processes while creating cohesive and effective communications.

Now part of Penn Medicine, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences is South Central Pennsylvania’s only college focused exclusively on health sciences, with more than two dozen academic programs serving 1,700+ students. Throughout the past century, PA College has grown from one nursing program with a handful of students to a thriving college offering more than 14 degree programs.

PA College partnered with Cut Once to raise the college’s institutional profile within the region and beyond, by showcasing the College’s “unparalleled” curricular offerings (in both nursing and health science programs) and its commitment to student-centered learning. To achieve this mission, we led the redesign of inPractice, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences magazine. The newly conceived magazine, which debuted in Spring 2019, is now re-branded as PA College: Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences Magazine.

Given limited staffing resources and full plates in our office, we recently decided to partner with Greg Bennett and Cut Once to provide assistance with and management of the production of our College’s magazine. In addition, he and his team helped us with a total overhaul of the publication that included a new name for the piece, masthead, and strategizing a new editorial blueprint for the content.

We have been thrilled with the results so far and how easy it is to work with Cut Once. Everyone here at the College loves the new look and content and they feel that we’ve really elevated the piece to a whole new level. Cut Once definitely brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table as well as a very strategic and structured approach to the magazine. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Cut Once on our College’s most important communication tool.

The Battleship USS Arizona was bombed on December 7, 1941, about 15 minutes into the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, killing 1,177 sailors and Marines. Over 900 could not be recovered from the ship and remain onboard. Today, Arizona rests where she fell, submerged in about 40 feet of water just off the coast of Ford Island.

Designed by Honolulu architect Alfred Preis, the USS Arizona Memorial was built in 1962 on top of (but not touching) the sunken USS Arizona. The memorial honors the memory of the crew of the USS Arizona, as well as all the other service members and civilians killed in the attack. A total of 2,341 sailors, soldiers, and Marines died as a result of the attack, as well as 49 civilians.

Penn-Mar Human Services provides a range of educational, vocational and residential programs for more than 400 individuals with developmental disabilities across Northern Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. 

THE CHALLENGE
The recruitment and retention of the Direct Support Professional (DSP) workforce is the single biggest challenge agencies like Penn-Mar have. Low wages, scant benefits, limited training and lack of career advancement opportunities have led to this challenge over the past 30 years for agencies across the country. However, while pay can be a real barrier to the profession, many will tell you that this job is a “calling”.

Penn-Mar did not strategically communicate with prospective and current employees in a way that made them feel valued. There was no unifying messaging strategy to encourage people to join their team or to make them feel connected to the organization after they joined. The “benefits” of working at Penn-Mar were communicated in an ad-hoc way and employees were not aware of the depth and breadth of what’s available to them as a part of the Penn-Mar team.

Penn-Mar partnered with Cut Once to develop an internal communications program directed at the organization’s DSPs – to speak to their hearts in a way that genuinely bonds them to joining, and staying with, the organization. 

THE SOLUTION
Cut Once hosted focus group sessions with Penn-Mar’s leadership and employee-representative teams to take a deep dive into the organization’s mission, core values, and current perceptions of Penn-Mar as an employer. Online surveys were also sent to all employees to provide further insight and understanding about the company culture.

Based on the findings of those efforts, Cut Once developed an internal branding strategy and campaign concept that better aligned with expected behaviors that support Penn-Mar’s values and mission, and identified new points of engagement and opportunities for communication. The new positioning, “Live Your Legacy: The better we do, the better we become”, reflects the values of honest communication, supportive collaboration, fair practices, innovative initiatives and a culture of excellence at all levels of the organization. 

Cut Once translated this strategy into multiple visual elements, including: campaign messaging, logo, website refresh, digital newsletter, branded video, direct mail, apparel, posters and flyers, and other graphic identifiers to be used throughout the organization’s communications efforts.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
My organization retained Cut Once as our partner in branding ourselves to our internal constituents. Team member recruitment and retention is vital to the success of what we do and we had to get this right. Greg Bennett led a process that was inclusive of all stakeholders and ultimately resulted in a new branding platform that is being embraced by all levels of our organization. He and his team quickly learned the nuances of our industry and the unique challenges we face in team member retention. The process included both primary and secondary research to understand the key issues and tap into the passions of our workforce. Because buy-in was such a critical part of the project, he led a process that included involving team members at all levels including organizational leadership and the board. In addition to Greg's strategic approach, he also was able to keep the project moving in a way that we are able to launch on-time and on budget. I highly recommend Greg and Cut Once as a key strategic partner for any branding initiative for which you have a need. He works as a true partner to bring important projects to fruition. See less

2014 marked the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore and birth of the United States National Anthem. To honor this milestone, Baltimore organized the Star-Spangled Spectacular, a bicentennial celebration commemorating the Battle of Baltimore and the birth of the Star-Spangled Banner. 

In response to this celebration, the University of Baltimore (UB) organized an exhibition to showcase the most effective poster design produced to commemorate this historical event. The exhibition took place from September 15, 2014 through October 31st, 2014.

The Urban Forest Project is a series of unprecedented outdoor exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. This unique environmental, public arts and educational initiative calls on artists, designers and students in each location to employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement on banners that are displayed throughout the community. 

The tree is a metaphor for sustainability and, in that spirit the banners at the close of each exhibition are recycled into totebags and auctioned off to raise money for a local environmental and urban forestry initiatives. The program can easily be adapted to address a number of green, educational and creative initiatives in a variety of ways to shape a project that is unique and expressive of the local community.

We participated in the Baltimore, Maryland exhibition which spanned all throughout Baltimore City into six area parks. This exhibition brought together artists, designers, college students, K-12 students and area businesses to create awareness for making Baltimore more sustainable. 

All proceeds from the project benefited the Baltimore City Department of Recreation & Parks Tree Baltimore Campaign for a greener city. Concept, illustration, and design donated by Cut Once.

Donated by designers and artists around the globe, posters sold at the So-Cal Fire Poster Project raised funds for victims of the wildfires that devastated Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego Counties in 2007. Modeled after the Hurricane Poster Project, an effort started for victims of Hurricane Katrina, all proceeds were donated to the Salvation Army, for the 2007 California Wildfire fund.

This poster, created by Greg Bennett, commemorates those affected by the fires and portrays the destruction with a photographic composition of textures (burnt paper, water stains, ash and grit) juxtaposed by beautiful illustrations of new signs of life and an emboss to highlight the bird. The text sprinkled throughout the poster is facts relating to the fires.

Production Notes: The poster was printed in a limited-edition, four-color process, offset on Mohawk Superfine Softwhite Recycled Smooth 80 lb cover, with a finished size of 24" X 36".

The Hurricane Poster Project was an international collaboration of artists and designers to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Each participant was asked to design and produce a poster depicting their feelings about the events following Hurricane Katrina. The donated posters were then sold online to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

This poster, created by Greg Bennett, commemorates those affected by the hurricane and portrays the destruction with a photographic composition of textures (water beads, stains, mold and grit) emphasized by various symbols including a voodoo doll, skull, wings, and distressed typography. The text sprinkled throughout the poster is facts relating to the hurricane.

Production Notes: This poster was printed in a limited-edition, four-color process, offset on Finch Fine Uncoated 100 lb cover, with a finished size of 24" X 36".

AIGA, the professional association for design, commissioned Cut Once to create marketing materials to help promote Pulp, Ink and Hops, Maryland's largest paper show. At this event creative professionals and "paper-addicts," were able to network and view the latest papers, greatest printers and designer services from over 20 vendors.

Since Pulp, Ink and Hops is always held at a different venue, it seemed silly to overlook the fact that the National Electronics Museum would be the host for this year’s event. We felt reinforcing the unique venue along with the event would be an unexpected approach as opposed to the more obvious direction of doing something with pulp, ink and hops. The event concept started to become more clear as we began to research the museums artifacts and exhibits. We concluded a collage of electronics should become the primary visual for this poster. The result was an intricate robot collaged with many vintage artifacts from exhibits in the museum such as radios, telegraphs, glass vacuum radio tubes, radar displays, telegraph keys and a microphone.

Morse code became the second language throughout this piece because Morse code is one of the prominent exhibits in the communications gallery of the museum. Morse code also added an interactive element which engaged and challenged the viewer to use the Morse code decoder key on the back of the poster to decode various messages throughout this piece. Fun fact, the first Morse code message was sent from Washington DC to Baltimore.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"Working with Greg was a great relief. And in my book, he's a designer's designer. He can take a creative brief and break it down logistically. But, subsequently, he can take the work and make it breathe emotionally—a woefully rare skill. His penchant for clear communication about his process, timelines and requirements—plus his work ethic—helped to eliminate the innuendo that often exists with creative work (and the folks creating them). Greg is a consummate professional graphic designer whose work was not only stunning, but had an intricate understanding of the project's goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again."

The clients’ request was to design a system of event materials that would commemorate Jamie’s sacred and special day as well as, deliver a uniquely-tailored celebratory experience for her family and friends to enjoy. The event was held at John Shield's Gertrude's at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

The underlying visual theme was a contemporary interpretation of the number 56, Jamie’s prized lacrosse number. It was kept abstract so that it would be interpreted more as typographic art and would be a talking point for the family if anyone asked.

No detail was overlooked, from the paper specified for the invitation (Neenah's Eames Painting Canvas) to all the support components such as thank you cards, directional signage for the museum, environmental graphics and Moleskine sketchbooks and Faber-Castell sketching pencils as gifts for the kids. The invitation was hand finished by a calligrapher, who styled her writing to match our typographic direction.

The invitation system consists of the outer envelope, an outer shell which houses all internal components, a cover card, invitation, ‘Party to Follow’ card, directions, rsvp card and rsvp envelope. It was printed 2-color on Neenah's Eames Painting Canvas Finish paper line.

Launched three days after the January 12th, 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Haiti Poster Project was a non-profit effort organized to help raise funds for victims affected by the disaster. Many donations were made and in exchange, the donor received a limited-edition poster of their choice. The posters were created and donated by designers from around the world. All funds raised went directly to Doctors Without Borders.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Hundreds of thousands of people were wounded, displaced, and killed as a result of 2010 Haiti earthquake. Many refer to Haiti as La Perle des Antilles which translates to the Pearl of the Caribbean. This statement is what inspired the primary visual for our poster. A pearl is symbolic of something precious that is sought after. We chose to use it to represent those who were missing, lost, and desperately sought after. We've incorporated several Easter eggs in our design, revealing facts about this earthquake and if you look closely, you may find a silhouette of Haiti's country.
