Printed Media

Below you can see a few examples of various printed media I have created for past clients. This page doesn’t include any posters or key art, as I have another page dedicated to those projects. If you’d like to take a look at those images, click this link: Posters / Key Art.

Brochures

Boston Court Season Brochure, 2018

Each year, Boston Court Performing Arts Center mails out a brochure for their upcoming season. In previous years, the brochure was twice the length and they wanted to cut down the number of pages but still have the content be easy to read and easily digestible. I was provided professionally shot photos of the location and events and selected the ones to use in the brochure. I designed the layout for this brochure mailer in InDesign and created the background textured images in Photoshop.

JAG Gym Summer Games Camp Brochure

Every year, JAG Gym has a gymnastics summer camp and during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, they decided to celebrate the games by changing the name of the Camp to “Summer Games Camp.” I created a version of the JAG Gym logo inspired by the Olympic torch and that imagery was used on staff shirts as well as in this brochure. We would usually go with a standard one-fold mailer, but I wanted to try the four-fold design and we were really pleased with how it turned out. The first images are each panel in the order in which you would read them from opening to flipping over and reading the back. The last two images are the outside of the brochure and then the inside open and laid out flat. The majority of the photos you see in the brochure were taken by me.

Business English Elite Brochure

I designed this brochure for Business English Elite as well as the logo you see in the brochure. My client provided me with images to use and I selected which ones to use and where. The first page is the outside of the brochure and the second is the inside.

Programs and Guidebooks

Hollywood Fringe Festival Guidebook, 2023

In 2022, I was contracted to completely redesign the guidebook The Hollywood Fringe Festival had used since its inception in 2010. The new guidebooks are larger and print in full color which allowed me to make the section headers much easier to locate. We initially printed on newsprint, but were able to print on higher quality paper for the 2023 version you see below. The cover was designed by an artist selected through a contest they run each year and the ad artwork was provided by the participants. I communicated directly with the participants regarding ad sizing questions. I made the case for allowing participants to include bleed in their ad artwork if they wanted to so their ads could print to the edge of the page and I am really happy with the results. Other than the cover art (and the characters I pulled from that design to sprinkle throughout the guide) and ads, I created everything else you see in the guide, including illustrating an accurate area map on the inside back cover. I also created all of the marketing copy that the Fringe “Freaks” (as they are lovingly called) say to each other throughout the guide.

Boston Court Winter Program, 2018

Prior to the Fall 2017 season, Boston Court Performing Arts Center would create one professionally-printed program for that season’s theatre performance and each weekend, we would create and print (in-house) a program for that weekend’s concert(s). Beginning with the Fall 2017 season, they decided to professionally print one program for everything. This was quite the undertaking as it required the musical guests to nail down their programs sometimes months in advance of their performances. For both the Fall of 2017 and Winter of 2018, I worked directly with the talent as well as the Artistic Director of Music to get that information in time. In addition, I reached out to other talent/crew and staff for bios and other program information.

The design you see here is my complete redesign of the look, feel, and layout of their program. I created all of the graphical elements including Boston Court ads you see in the program excluding the artwork for Her Portmanteau, A Streetcar Named Desire, and the advertisements for the hotel constance and performing arts LIVE. The photos are mostly those provided by the artists with a couple selected by me from previous performances/events. I worked in InDesign to for layout and design and created images in Photoshop and Illustrator.
