The Problem:
The Amani Festival celebrates cultural diversity in order to promote understanding among people of different backgrounds. The annual street fair, taking place in the downtown streets of Carlisle, PA needed a visual representation of their 2010 theme, “Creating Connections.”

The Solution:
Planning committee members suggested using different types of hands reaching out towards each other to represent diversity and connections. Vibrant colors and an illustrative approach project the positive energy generated by people connecting with one another. The graphic will be applied to posters, hang tags, booklets and advertising.

Client Response:
” Thank you again for the beautiful work and for bringing Amani into the new millennium. “

The Problem:
Simplify an existing photography website using the existing logo and color scheme for Saskia Paulussen Photography, LLC.

The Solution:
Use simple design elements such as line and tonal changes to present photography as the focal point of  the site. Photos placed on each page give viewers continuous exposure to the photographer’s capabilities. A slide show and rotating photo area on the first pages show viewers a variety of photojournalistic approaches immediately upon entry to the site.

Client Response:
“…everyone is raving and loves it.  Thank you!”
