We designed this event program for the Community Foundation for the National Capitol Region for a "celebration of civic spirit honoring The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation and presenting the 2009 Linowes Leadership Awards Recipients."

Countdown to Copenhagen

Countdown to Copenhagen

One of our larger partners, Church World Service comes to us with specific parameters in mind for projects. This project already had a logo and color scheme and we worked with CWS to choose what image and story would have the greatest impact.  The mailer is intended to get people to take action on climate change before the climate change meetings in Copenhagen. This project was printed on 100% recycled paper, using veggie inks and windpower.

Avaaz developed a broad campaign relating to the Olympics in Beijing and unfurled it in advance of the opening ceremonies, continuing all the way through to the closing ceremonies. A large piece of the overall campaign that we helped with was the "Love China Love X" theme, which was pushed online, in newspapers, and in unique formats like pedicabs, scooters, and pediwalkers. The three prongs of the campaign were: [1] Love China Love Tibet [2] Love China Love Darfur and [3] Love China Love Burma.

Mentors Inc. has come to CEDC for several years to design materials for their Annual Graduation which honors mentors and graduating seniors. For the May 2008 graduation Mentor's Inc. wanted a different format from the past so we came up with a larger size for the program to better fit all the sponsors and advertisements and a different folding style for the invitation. The project was printed on 100# gloss cover and included a save-the-date postcard, an invitation, envelopes, a reply card, an auction card, and a program book.

Continuing in the style we had created for Mentors, Inc. starting in 2005, we developed their annual banquet/celebration package again, using different colors, a new quote, and new imagery. This year was also the 20th anniversary of the organization!

Since it had been very well received, we continued in the format we developed last year and used a similar formula: 2 colors with a main theme and a collection of related images. This year's theme was "Dreams and Dedication."
