This story begins with dedicated people and the beautiful landscapes we all can call home.
Several years ago, our team created an updated icon with supporting branding elements including business papers and signage for the largest land preservation organization in the state of Illinois.
As the Conservation District approached its 50th year, the One Zero Charlie team was again invited to assist Executive Director Elizabeth Kessler and Wendy Kummerer, the District's Director of Marketing and Education, with the creation of a beautiful keepsake document that will last for generations.
Development of this 50 page perfect-bound book was an enormous undertaking consuming over four months of collaborative effort.
The book is filled with detailed articles and stunning images, most of which were donated by amateur or professional photographers.
Key to the success of the project was Executive Designer James Westwood’s creation of the 50th Anniversary logo as well as his tireless efforts that produced the breathtaking result featured below.
“Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it’s so complicated.”
~ Paul Rand, 1997
