Posters designed for the annual health fair. The concentration is on fun because in a lot of people’s minds, being healthy is not. It was important to show the joy that comes from being fit, rather than the work involved.

These were just for fun, but one of them got bought up for merchandise.

Open Enrollment campaign, announcing changes to the benefits packages. The focus was on the variety of options.
A logo was designed for the Benefits program, and postcard and posters were printed for this campaign. It would’ve been cool to have those custom Benefit package coins created, but it didn’t happen. A boy can dream, though.

The wellness program was encouraging people to take a break and stretch in the morning. It had to be individually lead, though, so it was important to grab each manager’s attention to get their buy-in. And what better way to tell them to streeeeeetch than to make the announcement on a custom Silly Putty box?
I’m not going to lie: I was really excited for the recent Muppets movie to come out. I saw it on Thanksgiving and walked away thinking about how much I enjoyed it because the entire film was just good-natured fun. Then I saw a report on a news station where they alleged that the movie was brain-washing today’s youth with anti-American sentiment. Being a frustrated designer, I reacted in the most logical sense: propaganda posters.
These tongue-in-cheek posters were designed in the classic propaganda/WPA-era styles, highlighting the absurdity of the allegations.
And just for fun, some “Muppified” portraits:

Video announcing Chets Creek Elementary’s new theme about empowering children. The principal is the star hero.
I’d done videos for them in the past, but being a long-time superhero fan, this one was a lot more fun to work on. On the others, I’d filmed the principal on a green screen and chroma key her into the films, but this year, she was pregnant and not so eager to squeeze into a spandex body suit, so I had to stretch my illustrative muscles.
Video for Chets Creek Elementary’s agricultural theme. The leadership team was excited about the idea of “cultivating a community of excellence,” (plus, I suspect they were playing a lot of Farmville), and wanted a farming theme. But the challenge was that they wanted the school still to feel progressive, and not like a rural farming school. So I threw away any Green Acres references I was tempted to make, and made a fun, cartoony film, showing the principal and students working together to help the school grow.
I wasn’t on-site for the filming of the source material, which led to some iffy green-screening, but despite these technical issues, the film felt fun and smart, and the kids and teachers got into it!
