We recently designed a 248-page catalog for The Phillips Collection exhibition, An Italian Impressionist in Paris: Giuseppe De Nittis. Heavily influenced by Degas, Manet, and other prominent impressionists of the period, De Nittis’s extensive body of work depicts lives and landscapes in late-19th century Italy, Paris, and London. This book marks the first exhibition in the U.S. devoted to the work of Giuseppe De Nittis.
Impact: Weill Cornell Medicine Magazine
Skelton Sprouls was selected as Weill Cornell Medicine’s publisher, to manage, design, write, and produce a newly imagined bi-annual magazine for the preeminent New York City-based biomedical research unit and medical school of Cornell University.

Our team also created a companion website that echoes the print edition in a fully responsive digital experience.
Detroit Institute of Arts: Gala Invitation
For the Detroit Institute of Arts, we designed an elegant carrier that folded like the petals of a flower, alluding to the Van Gogh in America exhibition. The gala package contained an invitation and response card for dinner and an exclusive preview of the Van Gogh exhibition. The carrier features a detail of Van Gogh’s Roses, 1890, on loan from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

Howard Community College
Howard Community College’s fall 2022 alumni magazine, Pathways, profiles their new president, Dr. Daria J. Willis, the first African American to lead the college in its 52-year history. According to HCC’s arts and culture PR manager, “Dr. Willis is shaking things up! The biggest change I felt, almost immediately, was a cultural shift. She is able to… connect and be accessible to the college community.” Also in this issue: a single-parent support program, Career Links, which offers resources tailored to address the needs of college students with young children.

York College of Pennsylvania Alumni Magazine
The cover story for the summer 2022 issue of York College Magazine focuses on community reentry for inmates. Aptly named “Second Chances,” Pennsylvania corrections and parole experts look to reentry as a way to introduce inmates to becoming successful, contributing members of their communities. A second feature focuses on a York College student whose capstone project brought him out of the classroom and into the mountains of Arizona to the Fort Apache reservation.
University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business Magazine
The cover story in this issue of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business magazine centers on the challenge to care for our environment as put forth in the papal encyclical Laudato Si’. We translated three major themes: sustainability, connectedness, and Notre Dame, into custom illustrated flora and fauna. Cover story illustration by Charlotte Day.
The cover includes a blind debossed and varnished gold cross among the magnolias, clover, ivy, oak, crab apple blossoms, sycamore, ferns, bee, and dragonfly, common species to South Bend, Indiana. Woven into the lush opening illustration and large drop caps throughout the story are more botanicals including roses and tulips, as well as birds, a moth, chipmunk, and squirrel, notorious throughout the Notre Dame campus.
Other features include the complexities around coca farming in Colombia and Muffet McGraw’s perspective on the current state of gender equality, marking fifty years of women in business at Notre Dame.
