My Role in this Project
This is one of those fun projects that had a general outline for content, but that grew and evolved as the design developed. For example, instead of a list of highlights from the year, I thought a timeline with thumbnails would be a more interesting way to present the information. Also, since the organization’s biggest assets are its relationships and connections to other people, I decided to add a playful staff profile section–just another opportunity to say “hi! we’re actual people and not just some name on an automated phone menu somewhere.”
I created all of the staff illustrations and shot most of the photos.

About the Neighborhood
This project is part of the Local Flavor Guide series produced by the Mile High Business Alliance. The Tennyson Street shopping district is in the Berkeley neighborhood of Denver. It is considered to be in the Denver Highlands area.
Though the Berkeley neighborhood covers a lot of ground, the Tennyson Street shopping district only runs along Tennyson Street from about W 38th Ave to W 44th Ave. This neighborhood is notable because it was the home of the original location of Elitch Gardens when it was a community botanical garden and zoological exhibit. Elitch Gardens has relocated closer to downtown, but the canopy over the old carousel still remains.
The art direction for this guide, as always is to give a good feel of the neighborhood. You can download a pdf of the guide from MHBA’s site.
My Role in this Project
I designed the overall look for the guide series and each individual guide. The images used in each guide is a combination of photography that I shot, illustrations I drew, and some stock images. Click through the thumbnails above to see the finished guide and the photos I took for it.

About this Project
Love Notes Float down the River is a short novella I wrote for the sake of writing a novella. It’s composed of a series of snapshots in the lives of people living in 1800s Virginia. After writing the book, I formatted it as a standard size paperback and had it printed through blurb.com.

About the Project
The Face of the Girl is an historical novel written by Janny Beck Jameson. The novel spans the lives of several pioneer women living in Pennsylvania from the early 1700s to the late 1980s. The book includes narrative, maps, an historical time line, and family trees.
My Role in this Project
Janny Beck Jameson came to me with a manuscript that she wished to turn into a book. After editing and proofreading, I crafted the book into its current format. This included page layout, table of contents population, map illustration, time line research, family tree illustration, and cover design. Since the author wanted to produce both hardback and paperback versions, I created a cover design to fit each format.

About these Projects
An often overlooked, but important piece of event collateral is the program book. When done correctly, a program book should present all important information in an easily navigable format. For these projects, I used stock and provided images along with prepared copy. I did some editing down of copy and a lot of formatting. Program books can be really fun projects for getting into the organization of style sheets and master pages.
