An alumni of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) asked me if I am able to make a simple flyer for a fundraiser RIT Golf Tournament that will be occurring in June. The purpose of the fundraise is to raise funds for building the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) Imagination Hall in Rochester, NY. I am happy to advocate designing the flyer:

GRO’s Banners

alice — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:44:22 +0000

Global Reach Out asked me to produce new banners to publicize their upcoming workshop and announcements for their website and newsletter.

The workshop presentation was arranged by a staff, Lizzie Sorkin hosts a commission presentation at 50th Biennial National Association of the Deaf Conference in Philadelphia, PA. The staff inspired me to use a picture of her because of her cheerful personality. I made a simple talking balloon on the banner:

However the staff felt uncomfortable with her face on the banner and asked me to re-design the banner. Then I was contemplating the banner for a short time. The word ‘Philadelphia’ straightaway made me imagine the Liberty Bell. I put the Liberty Bell image under the opacity yellow-orange and I made a part of U.S.A. map to show where is Philadelphia. I added two logos of NAD and GRO on the banner:

GRO will set their own booth at DeafNation World Deaf Expo 2010 in Las Vegas. I adjusted to warm and diminish contrast in the image that shows feelings of nostalgia. I chose a font style to fit “Las Vegas” and I used gradient and effects on the font type:

GRO needs a new permanent banner to promote their brief mission statement:

Silent Voice Mock-Up Logo

With my leisure time, I wanted to try and give the Silent Voice’s logo a makeover.

The original logo reminded me of hypnosis.

I brainstormed with sketches:

I decided to choose the American Sign Language (ASL) sign of “I Love You” blending with the “V” in “voice.” I turned the sketch of the hand signed “I Love You” into a graphic in Illustrator. Here is the result:

I asked friends for their opinion about the first design. They mentioned that the “I Love You” sign language looks like a joyful kid. I didn’t realize that part and contemplated the “I Love You” icon. I re-adjusted the icon to the outline image of the joyful kid.

I have a hard time to pick which one I really like… How about you? Why?
