Forever

Problem: Design a new logo and supporting identity system for the non-profit organization, Greater Hopes Family services.

solution: Forever is a new name and identity created to emphasize the tremendous impact adoption has on children and families. this impact is expressed through childrens photos and messages from kids telling the viewer what they now have or will have as a result of someone choosing to add them to their family. Many of the messages speak of the future to emphasize that the act of adoption lasts forever and builds lifelong connections.

You will show me anything is possible.

Dear Michael and Anna,

Our mission is to simplify each childs adoption experience by offering excellent and expert care. While it is a complicated process for those who are new to it, our job as a child placing agency is to make each adoption experience happen as smoothly as possible. We pay special attention to you as well as the placing parents needs, to important ethics, to laws and policies, and to the tricky dynamics that may be present in your case. Ultimately, we ask everyone involved to work together in the spirit of love and respect so that the child who is involved is honored.

We tenderly care for and restore dignity to human lives through providing ethical, gentle and loving family services. When we help parents make wise plans for their childrens futures, everybody has a better outcome. When needed, resource families support these parents in the manner most reasonable under the circumstances. And if it turns out an adoption plan is best for a child, the child is placed by the parents into a loving adoptive home with the help of a caring, qualifi ed professional.

Our staff follows principles taught by Jesus Christ; basically, love one another. If you desire, a member of our Prayer Team will pray with you and support you spiritually through this complicated time. Please trust we will respect your boundaries and beliefs.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns that you may have as you begin your adoption process.

Primary Logo Secondary Logo

This is the primary logo that appears on all print, web and environmental materials. It can be paired with the tag line: Finding every childs one place.

Size restrictions and clear space are as shown, with no restrictions as to how large the logo can appear. The logotype is not to be separated from the mark in situations where it would be the sole representation of the brand. However there are certain elements which may be used abstractly or as supporting imagery. See the Additional Elements section for the complete list of acceptable uses.

In special situations where the primary logo does not create the proper aesthetics or does not show up well, the secondary mark can be used.

Primary Color Palette

Secondary Colors

The primary color palette is to be used for both the primary and secondary versions of the logo. The color of the heart may be switched for a secondary color only when the logo also appears in the primary colors. The color of the logotype should always be blue, except when the pink one color version of the logo is being used.

White is used for backgrounds or reversed text. The pink functions as the primary text color for titles and most body copy will be set in 80% Black.

The secondary colors were chosen as complimentary, colors to be used sparingly on supporting materials and information, most often for contrast and interest.

The logotype is Gotham Rounded with a tight tracking. It appears in all lowercase letters and is the only element that should be set this way. The logotype should always be blue and is not to be used separately from the mark. It should always be visually the same weight and should not be reduced to anything smaller than a half inch wide.

Gotham Rounded is the main typeface, both book and bold styles are used on all pieces, as well as a limited use of Gotham Rounded Book Italic. A serif type, ITC Cheltenham, is the specification for typed letters.

You will show me anything is possible.

The purpose for this mobile application is to provide parents with a way to search for local or non-local family friendly activities. It begins with quick instructions which can be skipped for returning users. Then the user simply gives their location and answers a few quick questions and a list of activities are displayed on screen. The questions asked help to filter the results based on such things as childrens age, budget and when the user wants the activity to take place.

The user is then asked a series of other questions to narrow down the results and Figure 3 appears with a list of activities that fit the criteria. Finally in Figure 4 the user sees details about the activity upon clicking on one from the previous list.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

Great River Energy understands our operations impact our environment and it is our responsibility to do all we can to minimize that impact. Great River Energy has always taken great pride in conducting its business with a high concern for environmental matters. We are committed to conserving resources through environmental stewardship, pollution prevention, waste minimization, recycling and reuse. This dedication is demonstrated by the inclusion of environmental sustainability in our organizations mission.

To guide employees in their decision-making processes and to ensure environmental considerations are part of the process, Great River Energy established an environmental policy in 1999, which is reviewed annually and continues to guide our conduct.

SUPPORTING RENEWABLE ENERGY

We currently meet or exceed state-mandated renewable energy requirements. In late 2010, we began taking power from the new Elm Creek Wind Farm near Trimont, Minnesota. The 99-MW wind farm is owned and operated by Iberdrola Renewables and features 66 wind turbines at 1.5 MW apiece. The project encompasses about 9,500 acres of land leased from 56 local landowners. With the addition of Elm Creeks output, Great River Energy has more than 315 MW of wind capacity under contract. Great River Energy and its member cooperatives continue to offer the popular Wellspring Renewable Energy Program through which customers may choose to buy additional wind energy for a subscription price.

Great River Energy purchases power generated from several landfi ll methane gas collection systems in Elk River, Minnesota. Once captured, the methane is typically destroyed through fl aring, during which it is burned through a fl ame that fl ares out the end of a pipe. We also purchase the output from anaerobic digesters located on dairy farms. The digesters capture methane gas and use it to run a 150-kilowatt engine and generator unit. These anaerobic digesters are large, cement tanks outside a barn, mostly underground, which capture the cows waste. When manure breaks down, it creates a bio-gas, which is primarily methane.

CFL light bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

MINIMIZING OUR WASTE

Great River Energy is an active member and sponsor of Minnesota Waste Wise, a nonprofi t organization that helps businesses and organizations reduce waste, save money and protect the environment. Our Waste Wise efforts include tracking and reporting waste prevention, technical equipment donations, and recycling. In 2011, Great River Energy recycled 5,215,495 pounds of waste and received the Minnesota Waste Wise Leader award. The award is given to members who have shown true leadership in sustainable business practices. Great River Energys commitment to waste minimization extends beyond recycling to include purchases and donations. By purchasing products made with recycled content, Great River Energy is helping close the loop. Purchasing staff worked with their primary offi ce materials supplier to identify available recycled products, including 100 percent post-consumer

CFL RECYCLING

In June 2010, Great River Energy and our 28 member cooperatives worked with the Center for Energy and Environment to sponsor the fi rst free statewide compact fl uorescent lamp (CFL) collection and recycling program in Minnesota. By pairing with Minnesota Menards locations, we were able to provide residents across the state with a free and convenient CFL recycling opportunity. In the last seven months of 2010, the program collected and recycled 23,125 bulbs the equivalent of 115,625 milligrams of mercury.

EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION

Our offi ce in Bismarck, North Dakota received Gold LEED certifi cation in late 2009. This remains the highest designation for any building in North Dakota. About 20 percent of the building materials were manufactured within 500 miles of the project site and the building is expected to use about 36% less electricity and 35 percent less water than a traditional offi ce building.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

REPORTING OUR EMISSIONS

In 2009, Great River Energy became a founding reporter to The Climate Registry, a nonprofi t organization established to publicly report greenhouse gas emissions in a common, accurate and transparent manner. Through this program, we voluntarily commit to measuring, independently verifying and publicly reporting our greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol.

COMMUNITY

Concern for CommunityA cooperatives very existence is to serve the community

at large. And because electric cooperatives are not-for-

profi t businesses, all revenue is invested in providing

reliable electricity and a cooperatives success is

measured by its service, not profi t. However, Great

River Energys role in the community doesnt end at

the electrical outlet.

One of the cooperative principles is a concern for

community. This principle states that while focusing

on member needs, a cooperative must work for the

sustainable development of the community it serves.

As a wholesale electricity provider to much of out

state Minnesota, Great River Energys responsibilities

span throughout the state and also into North Dakota

where we own and operate generation and

transmission facilities.

4COMPANY OVERVIEW | GREAT RIVER ENERGY CSR

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Who We Are

Great River Energy is a not-for-profi t electric cooperative

owned by its 28 member cooperatives. We generate and

transmit electricity for those members, located in the

outer suburbs of the Twin Cities up to the Arrowhead

region of Minnesota and down to the farmland region

in the southwestern portion of the state.

Great River Energys cooperative structure has proven to

be central to our continued success in delivering on our

mission. Collaboration with our members, stakeholders,

community leaders and employees has made us a

strong and respected organization.

Like other cooperatives, Great River Energy exists to

serve its membership and is dedicated to helping the

communities in which it operates. We are member-

owned and governed by a democratically elected board

of directors who are electric cooperative members

themselves. Board members establish rates and

develop policies in the best interest of Great River

Energy and its members. Collectively, our member

cooperatives serve nearly 639,000 member consumers

or about 1.7 million people. We are the second largest

electric power supplier in Minnesota.

Great River Energy owns and operates nine power

plants which generate more than 2,500 megawatts

(MW) of electricity, plus we purchase additional power

from several wind farms and other generating facilities.

Our generation capability consists of a diverse mix

of base load and peaking power plantsincluding

coal, biomass, natural gas and oil plants. Great River

Energy owns and operates nearly 4,500 miles of

transmission line and owns or partly owns more than

100 transmission substations. Great River Energys

more than 865 employees are dedicated to serving our

member cooperatives with integrity and accountability

in an environmentally sensitive manner. Its the nature

of being a cooperative.

Our Vision

Leading, collaborating, energizing to benefi t our

members and our world.

Our Mission

Provide members with reliable energy at affordable

rates in harmony with a sustainable environment.

Our Triple Bottom Line Commitment to Our Members

Great River Energy maintains a commitment to economic,

social and environmental responsibility to our members.

Every decision we make as an organization is care fully

considered and held up to these three standards as we

work to achieve a balance between the three of them.

We have adopted a decision-making process that gives

equal consideration to our three highest priorities:

affordable rates, reliable energy and environmental

stewardship. Our organization will not deploy strategies

affecting rates and reliability without also assessing

the environmental implications. But, by the same token,

we wont do anything for the environment without

fully considering the impact on rates and reliability.

Ultimately, it is about conducting business in a way

that benefi ts both sustainability and the bottom line.

Great River Energy supplies nearly 2/3 of Minnesota with electricity.

9 107 COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES | GREAT RIVER ENERGY CSR

4. Autonomy and independenceCooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations

controlled by their members. If they enter into

agreements with other organizations, including

governments, or raise capital from external sources,

they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by

their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy.

5. Education, training and informationCooperatives provide education and training for their

members, elected representatives, managers and

employees, so they can contribute effectively to the

development of their cooperatives. They inform the

general public, particularly young people and opinion

leaders, about the nature and benefi ts of cooperation.

6. Cooperation among cooperativesCooperatives serve their members most effectively

and strengthen the cooperative movement by working

together through local, national, regional and

international structures.

7. Concern for communityCooperatives work for the sustainable development

of their communities through policies approved by

their members.

THE SEVEN COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES

The cooperative principles are guidelines by which

cooperatives put their values into practice.

1. Voluntary and open membershipCooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all

persons able to use their services and willing to accept

the responsibilities of membership, without gender,

social, racial, political or religious discrimination.

2. Democratic member controlCooperatives are democratic organizations controlled

by their members, who actively participate in setting

their policies and making decisions. Men and women

serving as elected representatives are accountable to

the membership.

3. Member economic participationMembers contribute equitably to, and democratically

control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part

that capital is usually the common property of the

cooperative. Members allocate surpluses for any or all

of the following purposes: developing their cooperative,

possibly by setting up reserves; benefi ting members in

proportion to their transactions with the cooperative;

and supporting other activities approved by

the membership.

EmployeesIt may sound clich, but Great River Energy truly values its employees. Our 865 employees really are the organization's greatest asset. We work hard to provide them with the safest and healthiest working environments, give them opportunities to volunteer and serve the community, and compensate them fairly for their hard work and dedication. Again, it is not only good business, it is the right thing to do.

Healthy employees are happy and productive employees. Great River Energy offers a broad range of medical plans for employees, their spouses or domestic partners, and their dependents, and pays a significant portion of the cost to ensure all employees receive affordable and comprehensive health care.

Great River Energy also helps employees manage health care costs by offering healthy lifestyle education opportunities. The lifestyle choices employees make affect their health and quality of life, both today and in the future. Better lifestyle choices also affect the amount Great River Energy and its employees spend on health care costs. Our health management program includes an employee health risk questionnaire (HRQ) and a health management incentive (HMI).These tools reward individuals who actively manage their health by getting regular preventive care, being knowledgeable about their health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The HRQ provides each individual with personalized health information and tools for personal health improvement. Behaviors such as smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise are some of the factors that increase a person's risk of developing health problems. However, general knowledge of these risks does not always change behavior, and people don't necessarily know which risks need the most attention. HRQs turn intuitive knowledge into actionable information.

The HMI is designed to reward individuals for actively managing their health

with a cash incentive. Our employees actively participate in this program.

solution: the definition of an object is presented through a series of hand illustrations paired with a photo of the same object. then the definition of an artifact is shown through a series of object photos paired with a stylized photo. An everyday object is nothing more than an accessory, tool or device with no emotional quality. It becomes an artifact when it tells a story, sends a message, or has a deeper meaning. these stories and meanings are a result of family, friend or personal influence.

Artifact: An object that has meaning and sentimental value to it as a result of human infl uence.

What is an Object?

Object: Something we see and use everyday. We do not need detail or accuracy to identify it and it does not have an effect on our emotions. Objects are commonplace and we do not give their existence a second thought.

Problem: Design a new identity system for the Land Conservancy of West Michigan, and apply that identity to collateral and events.

solution: Working as a team we sent the message to people to get out of the city and enjoy nature. the logo was created to be placed over any surface, image or background and allow it to join with that imagery, just as we urge people to rejoin nature. Various other print pieces and the website were designed with the same encouragement to visit the parks and nature preserves. the major encouragement to get people to engage with nature is the coordination of various volunteer days and activities hosted on the land belonging to the conservancy. keeping nature nearby

Being a non-profit organization focused on land conservancy means an economical and earth-friendly business system is important to the overall brand.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,

As new members, I would like to personally welcome you to the West Michigan Land Conservancy. We are very excited that you have decided to join us in our efforts to protect West Michigans natural areas.

There are many ways to make the most of your membership with the LCWM and to help us in conserving nature and wildlife for all to enjoy. Whether you choose to make an annual donation, participate in clean up days, become a land steward, sign an easement for your land or simply respectfully enjoy the land, your membership is important to us. It is because of people like you that we are able to continue to grow and increase the amount of land being protected.

We have many events throughout the coming months that provide great opportunities to get involved with the conservancy and protection efforts and also to meet other people like you who have chosen to give of their time for the conservation effort. Most recently we held a dinner party for our 20th anniversary, and each year we choose a different park to host the annual members picnic. Another annual event held in late April to early May is our volunteer day, at which we enlist the help of many volunteers to clean up and rejuvenate the parks for the upcoming summer months.

This year our volunteer day will be held on April 23, 2011. Signing up is easy, either online or by requesting a registration form to be sent to you in the mail. Further information can be found on the events flyer or online at www.naturenearby.org/volunteer. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you for your generosity and helping to keep nature nearby.

Sincerely,

Margaret Ladd

Problem: Design a magazine article telling the story of the decline in businesses, homes and families in Cadillac, MI through photography and narrative content.

solution: Full bleed photos of the rundown areas in the town are the main focus for this article. they have high contrast and dark lighting to dramatize the rundown nature of the images. Another element to emphasize the topic of this article was the use of large margins and a generous amount of whitespace. this article is designed to appear in the Detour column of the architecture and home magazine Dwell.

Re-Build Your Struggling Small Town

DETOUR

DWELL

Cadillac, Michigan is home to around 10,000 people

and is considered one of the largest industrial and

commercial cities in northern Michigan. Now, with

the struggling economy Cadillac is losing many of

its once thriving businesses and its families. Leaving

behind empty rundown buildings.

NEARLY NEW BUILDINGS SIT EMPTY SINCE THE BUSINESSES COULD NOT SURVIVE.

These are hard times for most every city, as our

nation experiences an economic recession. Many cities

struggle to maintain their roads and schools and

also to keep tourism and locals interested in the city.

There have been many local campaigns and statewide

campaigns to regain interest in certain areas and

states. Many families must move around to fi nd work

and as people leave an area so must the business.

This turns into a vicious cycle until almost nothing is

left to sustain a city or town. Most often bigger cities

are not affected by this type of situation. It is the

small towns such as Cadillac, Michigan that are most

affected and torn apart by the results of these diffi cult

economic times.

CADILLAC FALLING

It is a disheartening event to witness the decline

of something that was once a thriving and living

place. Watching ones city fade into nothing more

than a memory of a good place is hard. Unfortunately

that has been the fate for many of the citizens

of Cadillac, Michigan. There are many locals who

have lived there for years and now experience the

displeasure of watching it turn from a quiet, yet

thriving destination city, into nothing more than a

stop for gas in between here and there. Many of the

businesses and activities that once drew people to the

inviting city are either struggling to stay afl oat or no

longer in existence. Small town family owned stores

are a thing of the past.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

First it would only be fair to tell about Cadillac in

its better days. It was once a thriving logging town,

processing mostly pine timbers and the birthplace of

Shay Locomotives, invented by Ephriam Shay in 1878.

The Shay locomotive was the fi rst one of its kind to be

able to carry logs around sharp corners, up steep hills

and on uneven terrain. They were actually used all over

the United States between 1880 and 1945. Currently

Cadillac has a Shay Locomotive on display in their city

park in honor of Ephriam Shay and the technology

and industry he brought to Cadillac. After World War II

Caberfae Ski Resort began to grow rapidly, increasing

the numbers of tourists that ventured to Cadillac.

There were many new businesses coming to the town

and many families began to call Cadillac their home.

Eventually such businesses as Avon Automotive, Four

Winns and Clark Foods were operating in Cadillac and

things were going well. Perhaps everyone in the quiet

little, prospering town of Cadillac got too comfortable

because eventually things started to decline.

THE ECONOMY PLUMMETS

Around 2007 when the United States Economy began

to fall so did Cadillacs. There probably was not one

state in the whole country that was not affected by

the hard times, and many still are. However it is the

small towns like Cadillac who suffer the most when

times are bad. In these small towns is does not take

very many businesses closing or families moving away

to make quite a large dent in the once stable economy.

Plus once things start declining it is very hard to keep

up the image of the town or eventually bring things

back up.

EMPTY SPACES

There are countless numbers of buildings sitting

wwaround the city and the outskirts of Cadillac that it

really is quite sad. Large facilities like Clark foods now

sit completely empty. Clark foods had a huge shipping

and receiving dock, and employed many people.

They were the leading food services and commercial

food supplier in the surrounding area for many years.

Other places such as Bill Olivers restaurant and resort

were huge tourist attractions and very successful

businesses. Now after being bought, sold renamed

and downsized more than once, it sits on its corner

property operating only about half of its services

and space as before, and barely managing to fi ll the

parking lot half full. Still other places have downsized

or closed. Many of the automotive businesses that

once operated at full capacity have had to cut jobs

in both assembly line workers and management and

some have even began working only four or even

three day work weeks. Many employees have lost

vacation time, and experienced a decrease in benefi ts

and overtime. Since these are some of the biggest

businesses in Cadillac when they suffer, everyone

suffers. There are many small businesses that end up

only lasting a year or two as well, as a result of the

poor economy. Some places start out new and do well

for a while. When prices must go up to compete with

other local stores offering the same things, and when

people have no money, and arent buying things, then

these places close and leave a brand new building

standing there empty. It becomes very apparent that

times are tough when even brand new buildings are

standing all over Cadillac with no businesses in them.

Another problem that arises from the whole situation

is the loss of families.

DWELL

JUNE/JULY 2012

I LOST MY JOB

Many families have had to leave Cadillac because

they lost their job or their company is downsizing and

moving them to a different facility. Everywhere one

goes you can hear a story about someones son who

had to move for his job, or someones mother who lost

her job after 20 years and is now working two jobs

just to make ends meet. There are places even in the

nicer neighborhoods where every other house is for

sale. The number of foreclosed homes and families

who had to downsize because of foreclosure has sky

rocketed. It creates a very vicious cycle when business

close causing people to leave and the town to shrink

with no hope of recovering any time soon. Then what

do you get? A town fi lled with various empty houses,

but even worse, empty businesses. These businesses

sit for years and with the owners unable to pay for

them or sell them, they quickly become run down

and unsightly.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES

As a result of the low economy buildings sit around

Cadillac in shambles. Things start to fall apart, grass

becomes overgrown and the area becomes very

sad and lonely. This creates a town that is not very

pleasant to drive through as a tourist or on a Sunday

afternoon drive. If the town looks run down and

empty it is easy to see that it will be hard to convince

people to come back. It also creates a very depressing

lifestyle for those who saw Cadillac in its better times.

Many people have said Cadillac was once a growing

city, now there is nothing left. They worry about how

far their children will have to go to fi nd jobs and

whether or not they will be able to survive much

longer themselves.

NOT FAR FROM THE TREE

Its no surprise that small cities like Cadillac struggle

when you look at the overall health and stability of

Michigan itself. To put the struggles of Cadillac into

better context consider this analysis by Kurt Metzger.

While Michiganians, or Michiganders as our new

Governor prefers, knew that the fi rst decade of the

21st Century had been hard on the state, the fi rst

2010 Census results, released on December 21, truly

brought it home. With a 2010 population count

of 9,883,644, Michigan was the ONLY state to lose

population over the decade, dropping 54,800 or 0.6

percent. The last time the state experienced such loss

was in the fi rst half of the 1980s, though population

gains in the second half of the decade outstripped the

losses. The past decade reversed this scenario as gains

over the fi rst fi ve years were more than wiped out

by fi ve straight years of population loss. Population

change is the result of: Natural Increase, the difference

between births and deaths, and Net Migration, the

combination of Immigration and Domestic Migration

(movement within the 50 states). With the exception

of immigration, Michigans numbers went the wrong

way on all fronts. The number of births decreased by

11 percent between 2000 and 2008, while the number

of deaths increased by 1.5 percent. The birth rate of

12.1 live births per 1,000 population was down by

12.3 percent over the decade and placed Michigan

in the bottom 10 states. While this decrease has been

driven, in part, by economic uncertainties that have

caused couples to postpone parenthood, the more

important factor has been the loss of residents in

their childbearing years, the younger singles and

couples who have both the education and the

fl exibility to move.

While the labor force has remained relatively steady,

dropping by 5.8 percent, the number of employed

decreased by 760,000, or 15.3 percent, while the

number of unemployed increased by 460,000, or

242 percent! While all industries suffered, it was

manufacturing, Michigans bread and butter, that

took the largest hit. Manufacturing jobs in Michigan

fell by almost half, 48 percent, dropping from just

under 900,000 in 2000 to about 463,000 in 2009.

While there has been some good news on the

manufacturing front in recent months, the number in

October 2010 is still about 470,000. The last thing to

address in this brief decade overview is the economic

well-being of Michigan and its households. While this

analysis will focus on per capita personal income

and median household income, let us not forget the

foreclosure crisis that has kept Michigan in the Top 5

states since its inception in 2005.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis measures per

capita personal income (PCPI) for the nation, states,

metropolitan areas and counties. While Michigans

income well surpassed the national average during

the 1970s, the recession of the early 1980s pushed it

below average, where it stayed until a brief rebound

in 1994 and 1995. By 2000, however, Michigans

PCPI had fallen to just less than 97 percent of the

national average. Losses in 2001 and 2003 were

followed by a brief rally in 2003. However, the next

four years brought a steady decrease to 86.8 percent

in 2007, and a low of 86.6 percent in 2009. While

income losses can be directly tied to the loss of jobs,

particularly manufacturing, we must remember that

Michigans income has remained artifi cially high due

to those highly paid auto-related manufacturing jobs,

jobs that did not require high levels of education. The

restructuring of the nations economy has made the

need for post-secondary education more critical than

ever, and Michigans low level of college graduates has

resulted in its rapid income drop.

One last income number really drives home the story

of Michigans decade decline. The median household

income for Michigan dropped by 21.3 percent between

2000 and 2009, while the national average fell by

one-third of that -7.1 percent. When translated to 2009

dollars, we fi nd that every Michigan household, on

average, lost over $12,000 in buying power. Such a

loss ripples through the entire economy and decreases

the need for all the retail, service and construction jobs

that feed off of our disposable income.

Well, here we are at the beginning of a new decade.

We have a new Governor and the forecast for

both the nation and Michigan is a slow, but steady,

recovery. The message for Michigan, in addition to

YOU DONT HAVE TO GO FAR TO FIND BUILDING FOR SALE OR LEASE.

transformation and innovation, must be education,

education, education! Unless we decide to focus our

resources on the education of our residents, from

birth to career, Michigan will continue to experience

decreasing population, employment and income. The

future is ours to decide.

With Michigan itself struggling to survive, its diffi cult

for small cities like Cadillac to survive. Small cities rely

on the people in the city to sustain businesses. When

all the people begin to leave, so must the business,

until slowly there is nothing left.

Many People live day to day wondering

if their job or their business will be next.

THE FUTURE

In the future, when the economy recovers, Cadillac

will have a decent chance of recovering as well. It is

still a quiet city with a lot to offer. Hopefully the

families that have held out this long will be able to

stay in their hometown of Cadillac and the businesses

that remain can manage to survive in these tough

times. In the future Cadillac will be able to regain some

of its former glory or at the very least shed its layer of

empty, run-down buildings and homes.

Problem: the student Advancement Foundation of Grand Rapids, MI needed collateral for their annual event Mindshare. this event to raise money for the students of Grand Rapids Public schools, required save-the-date postcards, invitations, rsvps, programs, pledge cards and various environmental graphics including banners, way finding and t-shirts.

solution: stars and constellations and their ability to shine were chosen to support the concept of Brighter together. the gathering of multiple stars, which shine brighter together, represents the strength achieved when students and community members work together.
