Keep Kids Alive Drive 25

For many designers there is one project that they are proud being a part of. Keep Kids Alive is the one for me. Tom Everson of 4i brought this project to me looking for a design that could be posted out in public to remind drivers to drive safely in residential areas. This was over 15 years ago and it is still going strong. This design has become their leading identity for them.

It was stated in the 2011 annual report, KKAD25 has worked with and through over 400 law enforcement agencies, as well as hundreds of neighborhood and civic organizations, schools, public works and neighborhood services, and businesses in over 1,300 communities representing 49 states, 2 Canadian Provinces, the Bahamas, Australia, and India. Our mission and message resonate with traffic safety advocates and educators across the globe.

A few years later I also designed two other projects with them, 'No Need To Speed' and 'Stop Means Stop.'

Please visit Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 and see how you can help them with their positive mission.

Celebrating YOU! FW Magazine Article Layout

Here is an article that I have put together for the Frugal WAHM Magazine I am working on currently. This article has 10 pages (2 page spread with 8 individual pages) through out the Magazine. It is one of the featured articles in the magazine. It has 9 interviewees divided out to 2 interviewers.

The challenge to this layout was to find a way to present each interview individually so the reader can read out one person at a time and fit their information with pictures to a single page. Page numbers are given to each interviewee listed on the first page introduction so readers know where to go for each one. All the articles in the magazine also include a short bio of each author of the article. Each article are assigned their own color, so each one is done in a monochrome pallet. Here I included the two page spread, which includes one of the interviews, and two of the single pages.

Lucabella's At Home Ad

Currently I am laying out the Frugle WAHM magazine. With this project, I have to place many ads of all sizes through out the layout, but there are some ads that are needing totally laid out. Lucabella's At Home is one of them. Kelly Oyler did have a logo and only a few pictures for us to use. Some of the pictures are of low resolution but I was able to work around it due to the magazine is digital.

Here is a layout I put together working with the pictures provided and playing off the picture in a box feel. The two couch pictures where not already in a box and felt that was an advantage to soften and open up the feel a little. The angles of couches help lead the viewer's eye, in and out, through the photo collage making the complete ad viewed.

This ad reflexes the 'At Home' simple but elegant style while giving Kelly Oyler her own identity that stays inline with the company she represents. This could easily be converted to other advertising pieces and marketing material.
