Newsletters: Get Ready Gazette
The Get Ready program (an early intervention and college awareness program) publishes a newsletter three times during the academic year to keep families, educators, and partners informed about its activites. The cyan plate for each issue is printed in a color from the program's color palette. A recent challenge was to provide the entire newsletter in Spanish as well as English. The eight-page newsletter was reconfigured to include nine-pages for both languages with a cover page to accomodate the mailing face and, on its reverse, fun activities for students.
Primary Audience: educators, partners, and parents of students in the program
My Involvement: edited and laid out each issue, coordinated translation, reconfigured layout to accomodate two languages
Note: a PDF viewer is needed to view these files.
Newsletters: Habitat for Humanity
The Rice County Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity needed a cost-effective way to keep their volunteers informed and to promote the nonprofit to the county at large. The newsletter was limited to one double-sided page and had to be reproduced on a black and white laser printer.
Primary Audience: volunteers and potential donors
My Involvement: researched, wrote, edited, and designed
