One Book, Every Young Child Logo and Website

Twelve libraries in southeastern Connecticut came together to organize a program that encourages parents and caregivers to read early and often to their preschool children. “One Book, Every Young Child” features a series of events that focuses around one picture book every year.

Using bold, bright colors, Brown Bear Creative designed the logo and website for the program. The website showcases the book of the year, incorporating the storybook’s illustrations into the design. Powered on the WordPress platform, the site can be easily updated using an intuitive, browser-based admin panel. A site administrator can edit any page of the site, including the homepage, news, and calendar.

Niantic’s Streetscape Enhancement Project Promotional Materials

Role: Graphic Designer / Illustrator

Niantic Main Street needed print materials to showcase their new revitalization project for downtown Niantic, CT: Niantic’s Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project consisted of adding new trees, street lights, benches, potted plants, and crosswalks to beautify the downtown area.

To reflect the vibrant new streetscape and generate excitement about the project, Brown Bear created brightly-colored brochures and posters with a fun streetscape illustration to signify the revitalization tone. Wave graphics helped tie together the overarching theme of “creating a splash” — making a difference in the beautification of the seaside town. Building on that idea further, Brown Bear designed a fundraising goal chart in the shape of a wave.
