I once again did the layout and design for the ICI Guidebook (2018-19 edition). I also helped in collecting and organizing the updated information from the colleges for their "profile pages." 50,000 copies were printed and distributed across the state and country in the first mailing.

ICI has worked hard to serve as a resource for high school counselors and students, acting as a one-stop shop for information about Indiana’s private colleges and universities. Our Fall 2016 campaign, 31 Answers to Your Questions About College, played a big part in shaping this identity, but we came to realize that it was somewhat limited in how we could use it in the future. So we set out to see how we could turn it into a more stable yet adaptable college resource center. 

After considerable thought, research, discussion, and preparation, we settled on rebranding to the College Q&A Toolkit. It takes what 31 Answers started with and allows us room to build on it. In terms of design, I wanted it to feel more hands-on and accessible to high school students. I also got sick of designing things I didn't like, so I changed up my method and started making collages.

I do collaging in my spare time and realized there was no reason why I couldn't do it at work, too. So I picked some fonts and thought through how all the pieces would work and started printing. Then ripping up pieces of paper. Then taping it all together and running it through the scanner. I ended up using Photoshop to add some color to tie each collage together as well. The result was something I haven't seen before and I am really happy with how it all turned out.
College Q&A Toolkit
Independent Colleges of Indiana
https://www.collegetoolkit.org/
Independent Colleges of Indiana creates a Guidebook every year with information about financial aid, the benefits of attending a private college, and profiles of each of Indiana's 30 private, non-profit colleges and universities. I designed 2017-2018 edition of the Guidebook, which was sent to high school guidance counselors and other partners across Indiana.

We printed 42,000 copies of the Guidebook in our first round of printing in October 2017 and had completely run out of copies in the warehouse (due to orders that came in after the first shipment) by late November. This is the fastest we have ever run out of Guidebooks. Could they have flown off the shelves because of the beautiful new design? I'll let you decide.

The "31 Answers" campaign was born after discussions with high school guidance counselors revealed a need for a "one-stop shop" for answers to the questions students and families have when thinking about college. Each weekday, from 9/19 - 10/31, a new question is posed and answered by representatives from Indiana's 31 private colleges on the 31 Answers website. The campaign concludes with an opportunity for students to win one of two $5,000 scholarships. I was involved in every aspect of this project, from it's initial conception, to the branding and design, to collecting and editing the videos, to the marketing plan and implementation.

Update: "31 Answers" has been rebranded to the College Q&A Toolkit!

Making a college visit is like test-driving a car: it gives you the opportunity to feel it out and decide whether or not it will be the best and most successful option in getting from Point A to Point B. While part of both test-driving a car and visiting a campus is seeing how you "fit," another part is experiencing it firsthand and having the chance to ask questions to professionals.

I spent the month of June 2013 filming, interviewing, photographing, and editing a video to be published on the Indianapolis web publication, Sky Blue Window. The video described the community surrounding three DIY venues in the Indianapolis area- the Emerson Theatre, the Hoosier Dome, and the Irving Theatre. I interviewed the owners/managers about their roles, thoughts on the Indianapolis music scene and the goings-on of their respective venues. I also filmed and photographed an event at each venue and had the opportunity to interview a performer.

        I worked with Ann on a graphic design asset for my organization. She was able to take my very loose, incoherent vision and create a genuinely beautiful result I was so pleased with. With flexibility, timeliness, and a thorough attention to detail, we were able to go from initial concept to fully realized design in less that two weeks. I'm still so impressed at how she was able to realize my vision and improve upon my initial idea. 

Plus, she's a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to ensure her coworkers and clients feel heard and appreciated.
