The Retirement Advisor University
A 5 x 7 inch postcard was sent to attendees of the NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) Summit.

Scott-Long Construction | GD USA Award Winner
A 6 x 11 inch postcard was mailed to healthcare facilities in the area. We manipulated the headline into this healthcare image and made everything but the prescription pad monotone in Scott-Long's red. This card won Graphic Design USA’s 2010 American Graphic Design Award.
Vermont Health Advocacy Network
We worked with PR firm, Cote D'Ambrosio Communications, to create this 6 x 11 inch postcard that was mailed to medical professionals informing them of a new online tool to keep them informed of health policy developments. A frame from a stock video was used for the front and their website was photoshopped onto the laptop on reverse.
Conservatory Ballet
Conservatory Ballet provided beautiful photos for us to work with and, using Photoshop, we created the illusion of the ballerina’s hand over the snowflakes merging the photo with the illustration.
Brahm & Powell
Brahm & Powell wanted to use Maui Jim’s photos, and because they were a vendor of Maui Jim sunglasses, we were able to acquire permission and approval of the postcard design from Maui Jim.
Perfect Endings
In order to save on marketing cost, Perfect Endings leaned on their co-op with Goldwell. We worked within Goldwell’s marketing guidelines to create this 6x9 postcard.
Mount Vernon Printing
To promote the recent addition of their new digital press, Mount Vernon Printing came up with the idea of promoting it as a birth announcement and we delivered.
Papa Johns
After researching the design of a previous Papa John’s mailer, we were able to recreate the design for this magnet postcard mailer.
Northern Virginia Academy of Early Learning
The Nova Academy of Early Learning wanted a design with a child-like jungle theme for their 6x9 postcard direct mail piece.
Chevy Chase House
This insert was designed to slip easily into a number 10 envelope along with other notices to residents of the Chevy Chase House retirement community to wish them a Happy New Year.
Chevy Chase House | GD USA Award Winner
Another number 10 envelope insert wishing the residents of the Chevy Chase House retirement community a Happy New Year with ginger bread and sugar cookies. We added color to the sugar cookies in Photoshop to create more interest and variety.
CSE Identity Design | GD USA Award Winner
The metallic silver paper this was printed on adds a realistic shimmer to the snowflake design for our 4.25 x 5.5 inch holiday greeting cards. On matching paper, we reversed the design and printed it on both the front and flap of the A2 envelopes as well. We can do this for you too!
