With evocative portraits of young students and the use of bold typography, we created a new identity for the Baltimore Urban Debate League. BUDL uses debate as a catalyst for change within the Baltimore City school system. Effectively turning "students into scholars", debate has the power to unleash the potential and change the lives of these young people.

To celebrate the opening of its new home, we created an invitation to The Barnes Foundation gala event. A Cézanne still life, representative of Barnes' vast collection of impressionist paintings, is featured on the invitation, as well as antique metalwork, a key element of Barnes' unique ensembles. We also designed a 56-page commemorative program that will be given to all attendees at the opening gala. The book includes details of selected art from the collection.

To round out a suite of materials promoting the opening of the new Barnes Foundation building, we designed a press kit and related news release inserts for the media.

NJIT's spring cover features medical and scientific collaborations between their faculty and that of the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey. Another feature discusses a new research center that studies financial bubbles.

How do you help market a photographer who's transitioning from still photography into video? We provided a platform that showcases video and still photography under one identity, eliminating the need to view video through a third party website. Through the use of a content managed system, photographer Bill Denison can now process and upload images and videos himself, thereby taking control of his own portfolio. Next up will be promotional materials showcasing his new identity.

With the Barnes Foundation relocating to a new building in downtown Philadelphia, we were tasked with creating a book documenting the building's origins in Merion, PA, and the realization of its new campus. Contents include blueprints, historical and modern photos, architectural renderings, concept sketches, and landscape designs, all celebrating the extraordinary achievements of the museum's founder, Albert C. Barnes.

To promote St. Mary's College Alumni Weekend, we designed an engaging 12-panel poster highlighting events, including a new Alumni College lecture series and Alumni workshops, as well as a full weekend calendar.

The admissions materials we created for Dean College received numerous Higher Education Marketing Report awards this spring, including Silver awards for the Dean College wordmark and travel brochure and a Merit award for the student viewbook.

Continuing his role as an educator, Kevin is currently teaching a course at Towson University for Communication Arts students. Digital Concepts: Structure outlines the basics of design software and graphic communications.

March

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) asked us to design an online report on Green Building Incentive Trends. Case studies from around the U.S. included architectural photographs and statistics on energy efficiency and its benefits. We also created a poster that is aimed at policymakers to pass legislation with the goal of revitalizing America’s neighborhoods by removing barriers to private sector lending, saving energy to create jobs, and helping small firms thrive.

Baltimore Collegetown has entered the second year of their new mentoring program in which universities and students work together to get student internship experience and give back to the Baltimore community. We designed a brochure profiling the second class of "LeaderShape" students, our next generation of civic-minded leaders.
