New World Arts is an alternative theatre company in northern Indiana. When they produced Aristophanes’ Lysistrata in 2007 we designed the posters and programs, a run of postcards, and a splash page for their website. We worked with photographer Danny Palmer for images based in the production, and built the series around New World’s “Season Nine” branding.
Kids Film Club is a new subscription service which offers a monthly DVD of new films for kids, hand-picked and pre-screened by other parents. They needed a basic email letterhead and template for contacting film festivals, film makers and potential subscribers. Our solution features a custom illustration as the letterhead, and a simple, open and welcoming feel all around. The template includes all the legal anti-spam requirements, and a code structure that keeps the content available and easy to read in every desktop and webmail client available.

MMA is a religious financial services organization, targeting the historic Anabaptist and related churches. The Teleios newsletter is a quarterly newsletter for pastors, with articles related to financial management in congregations. MMA wanted to move from a physical newsletter into email. Email newsletters are cheaper to send, simpler to receive and handle, environmentally friendly and much easier to track. The template is built in code that cleanly keeps all the content in order and easy to read no matter what webmail or desktop email program the recipient uses. The design is a simple adaptation of the Teleios brand that had already been established, adjusted to read well online.

All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is a fun little play about being a kid and growing up. We designed a series of print pieces around the show including posters, postcards and programs. The design is based off of photos from the producers childhood, mixed with super-clean fonts and hand-drawn artwork in playful and childish ways. The programs were black and white stapled photocopies, handed out with crayons, and the audience was encouraged to color and draw on them before the show.
“After Mrs. Rochester” is an epic play following the painful life of one a writer from childhood through her first novel. Working with the director and designers, we focused in on scribbled drawings and rough draft imagery. The marketing pieces we did involved complex ’scribbles’ featuring some of the main imagery and ideas from the play. The final posters and programs had the feel of being rough drafts, with notes and corrections in the margins of typewriter written and stapled pages.
