In our continuation of York College’s new admissions marketing campaign, we recently completed the Visit piece, a brochure encouraging prospective students and their parents to visit the college. A large campus map is included in the 4-panel fold-out, as well as smaller regional map, illustrated by Eric Hanson.
Joe Cirillo ’17, a computer science major at St. Mary’s, built a robotic device controlled by neurological activity – “using a machine to produce art.” Naturally, we featured the robot on the fall 2015 cover of The Mulberry Tree. Cirillo is one St. Mary’s Undergraduate Research Fellow (SMURF) profiled in the story about a project-oriented program that combines the humanities with hard science.
For the fall issue of The College, St. John's College’s alumni magazine, we introduced new typefaces and more space for large photography, streamlined the template, and made overall structural improvements throughout the magazine. The cover story, an essay on Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and how its message still resonates, features a whimsical cover illustration by Brett Ryder. Two alumni continue the theme of self-sufficiency: a beekeeper concerned with sustaining the planet's plant species, and a barkeeper who transformed an abandoned historic building into a neighborhood pub.
The Fall 2015 issue of Changing Business for Johns Hopkins Carey Business School features a cover essay on how workers in various fields can learn from the strategies of wildfire fighters to perform well in unpredictable circumstances. Additional articles include Twitter’s relation to IPO’s, online reward programs, and how people view the sale of human organs. Illustrations in this issue are by Edmon de Haro.
For the Barnes Foundation temporary exhibit Strength and Splendor, we provided a multi-panel exhibition brochure and a gallery booklet for an installation by visiting artist Ellen Harvey. The artist's work for the exhibit is a direct response to Dr. Barnes’s idiosyncratic collection of utilitarian wrought iron objects.
Skelton Sprouls produced a new website for Breakthrough, the magazine for the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine, which we have designed for the past 8 years. The website is built on an open source platform and is responsive across a wide range of devices. Breakthrough's content is critical to the medical field, but its print format could only extend to a limited audience. Our goal was to bring it online for the world to read and for Google to index.
This summer we continued our work with the Barnes Foundation Educational Department by updating materials that we began creating for them in 2012. Pieces include teacher workshop binders and a variety of classroom posters.
York College enlisted Skelton Sprouls as a communications partner to convey its brand, qualities, advantages, and value proposition to prospective undergraduate students through an integrated and strategic admissions marketing campaign. A new Viewbook and a Travel piece have been completed, and a Parents Guide and Visit Brochure will be added to the package this fall.
