Welcome to the Studio Red Design blog, where creativity meets purpose! Today, we're diving into the vibrant world of infographics and why they're essential for captivating audiences in schools and non-profit organizations.

Capturing Moments, Inspiring Engagement: In today's digital age, where smartphones and tablets dominate our daily lives, there's something undeniably charming about the simplicity and practicality of a paper calendar. For organizations, associations and schools, paper calendars serve as more than just tools for organizing schedules – they're tangible reminders of important events, milestones, and a tool for building community.

Health Unscripted: a 24-page plus cover saddle stitch brochure mixes glama natural (a semi-transparent sheet that is reminiscent of skin) for bold text with a coated silk sheet for striking photographs. This piece engages the senses (especially those of touch and sight) and captivates the viewer as the glama partially reveals and conceals with moving captions and lyrical text placement to activate the deeply poignant images by photographers as well as survivor and caregiver duo, Anna and Jordan Rathkopf.

At Studio Red Design, we believe that every line, every curve, and every color choice holds the power to tell a compelling story. And what better way to weave narratives than through the ingenious invention of timelines? Whether it's tracing the evolution of an idea, celebrating milestones, or charting the progress of a project, timelines are our trusty companions in the journey of visual storytelling.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Inter-American Foundation on their 2023 Year in Review. We designed the full 12-page report, as well as updating it with translated Spanish text.

We're delighted to share the productions of our partnership with Northridge Preparatory School, an all-boys school nestled just outside of Chicago.

"Alston and Kevin helped us transform a sprawling rough draft authored by nine people into a beautiful and coherent 100+ page resource manual for schools. The ebook they created for us featured extensive linking both within the pdf and to numerous external websites and documents. They were incredibly responsive and patient with us as we ironed out the final content and formatting, offering ideas and solutions that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. The final product was beautiful and easy to use for our end users -- we were thrilled with the outcome!"
