GAPA (the Georgia Association of Physician Assistants) recently asked us to give their website an overhaul. We had designed their previous website about 4 years ago and as the organization has grown and changed in that time they recognized a need for a new website that would better accommodate them and their needs. We jumped at the chance and after some hard work, we’re proud to show off the end result. See the before and after after the jump. (more…)

Summer Issue of Making a Difference Inspires and Informs
Making a Difference, Summer 2010 edition
The Summer edition of Making a Difference, a quarterly publication of the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), has just wrapped up. In addition to it’s stellar design (hey, a designer should be able to toot their own horn) the magazine is full of inspiring articles and information.
The summer edition features the Children’s Freedom Initiative, which aims to move children with disabilities under the age of 22 out of state-run facilities and closer to home. The initiative was formed in 2005 after advocates with the Georgia Advocacy Office (GAO) discovered 141 children under the age of 22 living in state-run facilities and other nursing facilities. Mathew Harp, featured on the cover with his mom and sisters, gives an inspiring message about what it meant to him to return home after having to live in a nursing home when he was 21. (more…)

Spring Issue of Making a Difference Features 12th Annual Disability Day
We’ve just finished the latest issue of Making a Difference magazine, a quarterly publication of the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD). O’Neill Communications handled the editorial content, cartoon illustration, and overall design of the publication.
The spring 2010 edition features the 12th Annual Disability Day 2010 in Atlanta. Advocates from across the state came together on February 25 to let the Georgia government know that they are ready…ready for the waiting lists to be cleared; ready for legislation to be passed for more readily available accessible housing options; ready for employers to recognize the value that employees with disabilities bring to the workplace…ready for change.

How to Get Out of a Design Rut
Last week I let you in on my little secret – my love of green. That confession sparked the idea for this blog. Sometimes a designer needs to take a step back and look at their work. It can be difficult to notice you’re in a rut sometimes!
Do you notice any repeating design elements? Maybe you’ve been using the same font on all of your recent projects. Or maybe all of them basically have the same composition. (more…)
Spring Color Palettes
It’s nearing the end of February and this designer is in need of some fresh color palettes! When choosing these spring palettes, I immediately thought of using shades of yellow and green. And if you’ve ever worked with me on a project, you know I always find a way to sneak green into a palette. I absolutely love the color green – any and all shades of it. It’s one of those colors that just speaks to me.
So, below are my choices of spring color palettes (which you’ll see all include a shade of green): (more…)
Presentations – why more isn’t always better.
I think it’s safe to assume that everyone has had the misfortune of sitting through a presentation that looked like this:
Ah, yes – the dreaded presentation where the presenter thought it was vital to put every word from their presentation onto the screen. Presentation – FAIL! Here’s usually what happens next – instead of the audience anxiously anticipating what the speaker will say next, they skip ahead on the screen and ultimately end up tuning out the presenter. What’s the point of listening if it’s all right there in front of you? (more…)
