Fun commercial jobs

Sounds unlikely, right? But be open to surprises; the unexpected can make work so much more interesting! These are two projects I did back when I worked for Syracuse University. A huge improvement on the typical (poorly) coated paper and curly ribbon.

Above and below: gifts for conference speakers. Paper from The Art Store in Syracuse, ribbon courtesy of the Newhouse School.

Below: gifts for guests at a sponsored conference dinner. The original request was for a brochure [dull], but I suggested giving a little gift (Florentine biscotti) and wrapping it in the brochure text. Paper and ribbon from Michaels Crafts, University seals from the SU Bookstore.


I'd love to do more commercial jobs in the future, so if you've got clients or employees to thank, I'm your girl!
