New Work: The Bryn Mawr School Alumnae Magazine
We recently completed our redesign of The Bryn Mawr School’s alumnae magazine, Communiqué.
Admissions Case Study: McDaniel College
Compressing Big Ideas into Little Boxes
When we designed McDaniel College’s website a few years ago, our mandate was first to attract prospective students, while still allowing space for campus news, alumni updates, internship stories, graduate programs and more. We devised a visual and verbal quilt with multiple entry points to communicate an active, multifaceted campus, and to allow constant updating – all within an organized visual hierarchy.
Art Books: Cultivating Engagement
Events are a key part of an institution’s ongoing engagement with the public and private sectors. Some events are small in scope while others mark major milestones. Documentation is always part of the process, photography and/or videography playing the largest roles. A majority of events are re-lived on the web or in member’s magazines, depending on the importance and/or size of the event and the capabilities of the institution’s communications office. For large milestone events, a professionally designed book is the ideal platform to elevate the event, and for use as a gift to important supporters and friends.
Judging the 2016 CASE Sibley Award
Claude was a member of the judge’s panel this year for the CASE Robert Sibley Magazine of the Year Award . Congratulations to the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine for their outstanding alumni magazine — the winner of this year’s Sibley Award, the highest award for excellence in the field of alumni magazine publishing.
The group reviewed six gold-medal winning magazines for this top honor. From the Judges Report: “Calling U of T Medicine ‘original and creative, outside the norm,’ the special constituency judges wrote, ‘This magazine was unique in the category and stood out for content, writing, and design.’ The Sibley judges concurred, finding the magazine cohesive and engaging, with creative story ideas and striking, well-integrated design.”
Branding: Johns Hopkins Medicine Philanthropy Institute
Skelton Design recently launched a new identity and website for Johns Hopkins Medicine Philanthropy Institute (JHMPI). In our discussions with JHMPI, three brand priorities rose to the top: conveying institutional professionalism, promoting a forward thinking institute, and creating a user friendly website.
