athletic media guides
print design/layout
 

Huntington University has won several honors for athletic media guides, including several "best cover" awards for five years running. The most recent are the 2007-08 covers for men's basketball and men's soccer. Julie has designed 6 of the 7 winning covers.

theatre posters
print design
 


We have worked with the Theatre Department for the last several years to develop poster artwork to coordinate with the director's production vision. The summer theatre tours have proven to be challenging as Huntington University has now sent out Godspell for three consecutive summers. Every year the art has to be fresh and original to each particular theme.




2008 preparing for success

a student development publication
print design
 


Student Development came to us with a large project and a small budget. They had previously used outside agencies to develop their annual publication for incoming students. Last year they pursued a different route and asked Julie to take on their project. We now design this 28 page publication in house; Admissions was so pleased with the outcome that they ordered a batch for their own office's marketing use.

build-a-brochure
print design
 

In another collaborative effort with Admissions, we just completed a complete overhaul of the original build-a-brochure program. With over 50 individual brochures, each brochure includes a program overview, faculty bios, a recent alumni profile and a personalized note from their admissions counselor.



merillat centre for the arts season schedule
print design
 

For the sixth consecutive year, we  designed the season brochure for the Merillat Centre for the Arts, located on Huntington University's campus. The Merillat Centre is home to several community events, theatre productions, music performances, the Robert E. Wilson Gallery and the Forester Lecture Series.

excel adult degree programs
logo design
 


Excel Adult Degree Programs recently underwent significant changes in leadership and degree offerings. Consequently, they wanted to update their branding to keep current in the local adult education market. They first approached an outside agency, but were not satisfied with the outcome. After reviewing the options with the Marketing Task Force, Julie developed this logo, loosely based on one of the agency's concepts.




huntington university online
web design
 


Huntington University has always managed its website in house - everything from design to content. In 2004, Julie began the redesign process guided by the Marketing Task Force and our target audience research. The final site went live and is now updated by various campus departments. The PR team oversees the website and makes corrections as needed.




billboards on I-69
print design
 


Working with Admissions, Julie regularly develops billboards for the local market. These samples are some of the most recent billboards. Both boards were/are on two locations on the main thoroughfare of I-69 through Fort Wayne.




jump shirts
print design
 


One of the freelance clients Julie has worked with over the last several years is College Park Church. The youth pastor asked Julie to design a shirt for their summer theme and she gave them several design/ink options to accommodate their budget.
