Deaf Colorado

by

Coming out of the Covid pandemic, after experiencing and seeing a need for, I attempted to create a more central source of information for the local deaf community with Deaf Colorado.

My visual strategy was to create a community calendar as its centerpiece, with sidebars full of links and tags, conveying wealth of information. Deaf visitors checking out what local deaf events there might be happening, would likely linger to also browse additional deaf-related information, resources, and opportunities.

What can I say? I adore designing information – making it good, factual, useful, intuitive, and to get it across — irresistibly eye-catching as well.

Intensely over-optimized, socially connected, and more organized than average; the project overdelivered.

ASL with Julie

With a business card putting her contact info into people’s hands, an eye-catching logo, a website for more info, flyer announcements, as well as social media memes, and spiffy letterhead for networking . . .

Julie transitioned into a more creditable professional.

Good design and consistent branding made people notice Julie in a more ‘professional’ light and take her seriously.

As Julie’s visible confidence grew, backed by her newly branded self-presentation, she more easily gained many new students, referrals, large clients, and numerous networking opportunities, all of which increased her financial independence.

Deaf Blue Cats

by

When the Covid pandemic first hit, I was at a phase where I felt I needed to be ‘bigger’, where I wanted to offer much more to my clients than my confidence felt adequate offering.

I met about then, online, a new friend who had complementary skills to mine, and together, we launched the Deaf Blue Cats. We had so much fun developing and branding ourselves, as well as doing projects for several new clients, that I hardly even noticed the isolating aspects of the pandemic.

Although this partnership did not last post-Covid, I polished my web skills and learned new ones.

A fun logo:

Made so many ‘faces’ to represent the variety of services offered:

Business cards with a QR code on the front sends people directly to the website, with contact information on the back:

business card, front
business card, back

Ads that were used on other websites and social media:

And of course, a lot of hours went into the website:

The Deaf Blue Cats blog serves a heavy double-duty as both a portfolio and a blog, with multi-layers of categories and tags…. What can I say? I find information design fun. Nerdy, nerdy me.

Anyhow. The website looks much the same since I left it behind. My ex-partner sits on it now. Check it out for the cheesy iconography I’m capable of.
