The problem is, not many people knew it. It seems every time someone designs a logo for a photographer it's some variation of a camera body, crosshairs, a lens or an aperture. I wanted to stay far away from that. I wanted something that hinted at the fact that Rich was a photographer, but didn't scream it. A subtle, classic approach just like his photography. What I came up with was a monogram encased in a frame the shape of medium format film. Next, the "RS" was turned into a pattern and it along with the shape of the medium format inspired box were carried out throughout the identity package. For the business cards, Rich was hooked up with some great letterpress cards by Mama's Sauce in Orlando. Finally, the new brand was integrated with a 4ormat portfolio so Rich would have a place on the web to post his photos.

There's a lot of this content already on the web, but it's usually buried in a long article. Mokabla wants to take all that content and put it into their system to help make some sense of it. To increase the number of comparisons on the site, Mokabla wanted to reach out to some of the bloggers and writers already creating this type of content and invite them to add it to the site. This select group of writers would all receive an email telling them about the site. The email would then direct them to this landing page to tell them more about the site and why they should use it. Mokabla came to me with an already designed look and feel and all of the content they wanted on the page. My job was to organize it and present it in the best way possible.

FDOH needed a campaign to raise awareness about the program and let people know there's help. We took that concept and developed a movement which would reaffirm and encourage those living with the disease and simultaneously foster understanding and support from communities throughout Florida. The entire campaign was built around words and phrases that emphasized what the program gave back to those participating in it such as freedom, a second chance, opportunity, life and hope. http://klaasco.com/Spread-Our-Wings-Tour http://klaasco.com/following/klaasco.com/Spread-Our-Wings-Tour Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:11:13 +0000 Klaas Co.

In the past, when someone was struggling with thoughts of suicide, there weren't many options. You could call a suicide hotline, maybe go to a local counselling center or talk with a friend. The problem is, none of those options are very anonymous. Sometimes that fear of being found out can keep someone who truly needs help from seeking it. IMAlive hopes to be that place where people can get help and work through these tough issues. A collaborative project between To Write Love on Her Arms and the Kristin Brooks Hope Center, IMAlive officially launches in April, 2011.

MOVE began as a way of equipping and educating communities about the issues TWLOHA addresses: depression, addiction, self-injury, suicide and the role a trusted community plays in bringing hope to those who feel broken. During the two-day conference, attendees participate in discussions led by professional counselors and "explore what's behind these struggles, what drives them, what recovery looks like and how we can make a difference". Last year, I worked with TWLOHA to put together a binder attendees could use to take notes. This year, they wanted to put together something a little more permanent, so we began working on a workbook. The new books are much more durable than their binder predecessors and use a series of stickers to mark them for each city the conference is in.
