Freelance update: Brightarch & Organization Weaver

In early 2009, I did some pro-bono identity work for a startup named “The Daily Blank,” a satire news site for the Chicago area. The founder, Nick Peters, is a young entrepreneur who turned out to be a great contact.

Less than a year after my work for “The Daily Blank,” Nick was contacting me from Oslow, Norway with a new business he was involved with. The company, owned by Tor Kielland and founded by his grandfather, used to be in the textile business but was now moving into the digital age with a rather pragmatic goal. They were interested in creating products for people within new and merging businesses.

My role in this was to create two logos: One for the newly renamed company, BrightArch, and their first product, Organization Weaver.

Freelance update: LGBT

To round out my final semester of undergraduate school, my web design class required a final multimedia project. The project needed to be journalistic in nature with a story about something that had impact on the community. What resulted was a website collecting stories from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender group on campus.

A link to the site can be found here.

Freelance update: Journalism Brochure

Before I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a B.A. in Journalism, I had the opportunity to create a departmental brochure for prospective students. This project started out as an assignment, but I quickly took it seriously enough to be considered by the department.
Understandably so, as the department was handing out bland packets of information every semester. The EIU department of Journalism is very well-developed for such a small school.
