More Color

Ever-growing Newberg High School reorganized itself into five “Small Schools” recently. I got to be in on developing the new look, by designing the “identity package” for each of the schools. Since the schools are named by color—Blue School, Red School, Yellow School, Silver School and Green School—It was a very colorful and fun project!

In all I designed 42 matching pieces: staff newsletters, parent newsletters, postcards, notecards, notepads, letterhead, envelopes, and business cards. We probably won’t print them all though, as each individual school will decide what they want to use.

3 Unusual Things

Published on October 11, 2007 in Biking. 0 Comments

I rode my bike to work this morning. Here are three unusual things that happened:

  1. There was a sleeping raccoon right in the bike lane! I suppose he got tired of waiting to get across the “Dundee traffic”. That’s smart. Possums are a lot less patient. (I guess my “I share the road” sticker means more than I thought)
  2. I got honked at by a pretty girl (OK, it was Deanne, driving past on her way to class)
  3. I almost ran into a parked car (riding straight into the sun, I tilted my helmet/visor down to shade my eyes, and then was studying the pavement a little too long!)
