Although web design is everywhere nowadays (even when we’re not at the computer it still manages to squeeze it’s way in to our everyday life), print design is still a huge part of the design industry and is everywhere we look: newspapers, posters, prints, manuals, restaurant menus, business cards – the list goes on and on. So how do you make sure that you leave a good impression on people holding your piece of art in their hands? This is where experience and advanced print design skills come into play.

DELTAwire Logo – Logo used to identify the blog by DELTA (Distance Education & Learning Technology Applications). The old logo was really bland and did not tie into the current parent brand, which our department wanted to establish a consistent theme. This logo pulls from the parent brand logo but incorporates a usb cord as a form of showing that the department is plugged in or technology friendly.

Other items were included with this project as a branding strategy include a information card, poster, website, and html email. I also worked closely with our copywriter to edit and condense the content for the website and other pieces.
