A direct-mail piece for an educational conference that presents a lot of info in a small space.
A big issue with the NCAFP is fitting all of the information into a format that enables us to use four-color process and stay within budget.
I got creative the the 11x17 format and managed to somehow fit everything in.
I shot the photos used in the piece as well.
This is a project I completed in my role as Director of Communications of the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians.
I decided to upgrade the corporate identity of the NCAFP. Originally started with the logo as I redesigned the website. Carried this through the rest of our components in late 2007.
Grabers worked with a Raleigh-based electric utilities infrastructure provider to create their new corporate identity.
Quanta Technologies is an electric utilities infrastructure provider based in Raleigh, NC. Grabers worked with the company to execute its corporate identity, as well as to provide its complete team with business cards, stationary, envelopes and other tools.
The company supplied Grabers with basic concept artwork, and Grabers did the rest.
Services: Design, Production and Printing.
A simple postcard, rich email message and press release promoting a human resources seminar for small business.
Audax Solutions is a client I work with in Buffalo that provides outsourced human resources management services to small- and mid-sized businesses. Audax recently began presenting a series of free educational seminars centering on important HR topics.
They needed some simple promotional tools to help get the word out. I designed and produced some postcards, an HTML e-mail message and a wrote a simple press release.
The NCAFP relies on a contract publisher for its quarterly magazine. Designed Vol. 3 No. 3 to enhance its overall look and feel.
I hadn't set type on paper at work (at least at this length) since writing and setting our 2006 Annual Report. But I was very rushed on that project and it showed.
Anyways, the previous issue of the magazine from the publisher looked like it came out of a high school graphics class. I was charged with making it look better. Some of the layouts appear below.
A colleague from my public speaking club needed a website to promote his financial and wealth management services.
Jeff Link in an investment professional with the Raleigh office of Stifel Nicholaus. I assisted him increating a website that helps clients and prospects get to know him. Jeff supplied all of the site's copy, while Grabers implemented the design.
A family friend's startup needed a simple identity to establish itself in the asbestos abatement industry. We made it a reality.
Q-Air is a Buffalo-based started specializing in asbestos abatement. The firm needed professional corporate stationery to help in establishing itself as a capable provider and to get the word out about its services. Working with the company's owner, we helped create its coporate identity.
My wife Erin is an attorney who recently founded a solo practice providing counsel in family law and criminal defense.
Erin M. Graber, Esq, provides clients in Wake County with counsel in family and criminal law cases. I helped her create her corporate stationery and a simple one-page website.
Ironically, her website is one page. The cobbler's kids have holes in their shows. Weird.
Completed a new identity for a Buffalo-based distributor of plywood and specialty building products.
I was introduced to D&M by another client. Thankfully, I got to meet owner and President Paul Maher at my bachelor party. Turned out he lived right down the street from where it was held.
D&M is a distributor of plywood and specialtty building products. Created the new logo, as well as the other identity components. The idea with the logo was to stress the company's origin in plywood products, but to also describe their other offerings and products.
I produced graphics and collateral for a trade show booth for North Raleigh Realty, Inc.
Jim Mulligan was exhibiting at a Raleigh trade show. After purchasing a booth on eBay, I worked with him to create the display's graphics.
The display was about 7ft by 10ft. I sourced some quality stock photo and used existing identity art.
The project also included a printed piece that supported the theme. This turned out to be a mini-booklet.
