Friends Mobile Book Sale

The Friends are going mobile. Their first stop is the Michigan First Art Fest held in Lathrup Village from Saturday, June 25 - Sunday June 26. For more information please visit Lathrup Village's website, http://www.lathrupvillageartinthepark.org/

I designed a new graphic for the Friends Mobile Sale by incorporating their pre-existing logo.

Final Handout

The final sketch was scanned then imported into Adobe Illustrator. I used 'live trace' to convert my sketch into a vector image.

Summer Reading Program 2011

Every summer the Southfield Library participates in the Summer Reading Program provided by the Michigan Library Association (MLA). Each summer has a theme for all age groups and this year’s theme is travel: One World, Many Stories (Youth); You Are Here (Teen); Book A Trip (Adult). MLA gives all participating libraries packaged graphics and suggested programs to host for summer fun @ your library. With this, SPL customize our summer programs and advertising to fit our patrons’ wants and needs.
