PRINT DESIGNbrochures, logos, & illustration

4H

4HThese materials were based off an existing design. The orignal posters featured poor quality photograpy and we were unable to secure the orignial files to change the design. I rebuilt the posters from scratch to fit with the original materials. I then updated the photos and text to better fit the message 4-H was trying to convey. The posters and adverising materials have since been distrubuted state wide.

2009 Urban ExtensionThe 2009 Urban Extension Conference brought together Urban Extension professionals from across the country so they could ex-change ideas and experinces. Starting from scratch, I designed post-cards, posters, email blasts, and other materials to help promote this program and to be used during presentations.

Youth As Resources

RKNEP Brochure

RKNEP helps families on government food programs learn to eat healthier. Before I designed this brochure, the RKNEP was without any printed matieral which they could use to promote their services. Using images they provided, along with some stock photos provided by the USDA, I created this brochure so that they were able to better promote their programs.

Logo DesignWhile working at UW-Extension, I had the oppurtunity to work on logos for many different programs. I have also designed alternate logos for the UW Parkside Art Club and other freelance projects.

16 Hours to Live DisplayI created this display stand for an indy comic which I created entitled “16 Hours to Live”. I created the back board graphics as well as the design and construction of the foam-core stands.

Youth As Resources

The Youth As Resources (YAR) program helps youth secure funding for community projects. I redesigned their brochures so that the materials would be easier to read and more organized. The printed brochures also match the online materials that I developed.

Mother GoosedMother Goosed: Twisted Rhymes for Modern Times was a community based project which brought together writers, artists and anyone else interested in creating comics. After the art and written sections where completed, I was responsible for cleaning up all of the art and creating the layout in inDesign.

Youth As Resources: Endowment Brochure

Youth As Resources: Endowment BrochureThe Youth As Resources (YAR) endowment fund brochure was created to mirror some of the playfulness of the original YAR concept; however, it was also designed to have a more mature tone.

WEB DESIGNflash, PHP, HTML, & CSS

Youth as ResourcesUW-Extension’s Youth As Resources site was a multiple page, disorganized website which made it difficult to find .PDF forms and other information that the site provided. I condensed the site to one page. The site is now easier to naviagate and moreconcise. Also, the site now matches the printed materials that YAR provides.

jkfrazer.comThis is a former version of my porfolio site. It was designed using HTML & CSS.

Family Foot ClinicsFamily Foot Clinics of Wisconsin, S.C. commisioned me to build a web-site. I used a simple, clean layout similar to the jkfrazer.com porfolio site.
