south fayette conservation group
We began with designing the logo when the organization was founded, then a membership brochure. Through the years, the organization has planned and completed a number of projects that needed signage.
logo
This logo was designed in coordination with the organization's board of directors. The elements represent the assets found in the community that are of interest to a conservation organization: agriculture, hiking on trails, canoeing on the creek, wetlands, woods and hills.
logo illustration
I had originally drawn this illustration just to show what content could be included, and decided to experiment with a style of handling my crow-quill pen, but I never dreamed anyone would want to use an ink illustration this detailed. I was always concerned that it was too detailed to use small, or to use with colors, but we've managed to use it in a variety of ways. It was designed in coordination with the organization's board of directors. The elements represent the assets found in the community that are of interest to a conservation organization: agriculture, hiking on trails, canoeing on the creek, wetlands, woods and hills.
membership brochure
- concept and design, print coordination
- copy is a collaboration and photos are from client
- legal-size, double-parallel fold, digitally printed in full-color on gloss stock
wetland directional signs
It all began with these signs to mark the entrance to the wetland trail system, and then larger signs to show visitors the actual trail with distances and points of interest. These signs are digitally printed in full color on 5 mil aluminum with UV coating, various sizes, largest 24" x 36", permanently installed at the site.
wetland interpretive sign
- Interpretive sign 48" x 24", ink illustration of cutaway view of actual wetland, flora and fauna and explanatory vignettes added for educational purposes (I have a larger version with enlarged panels on my illustration page)
- a collaboration with group members, final image with text output and laminated on high-quality resin sign with cast pedestal, permanently installed at the wetland
traffic island sign sign
The organization agreed to plant flowers on a main traffic island, donated by the local greenhouse.
