Making a big deal for the kids

For the annual "Bring Your Child to Work Day" at Mountain America, I had the opportunity to create original graphics that would appeal to the kids and show the parents that it was an important event for the company.

Working with the HR department's theme of "Working Together," I designed the posters, invitations, signs, handouts and activity books to have the bold character of old WWII campaigns, but with a youthful, contemporary style. The project went well and was very well received, but don't take my word for it, listen to an unsolicited testimonial:

I have had the pleasure of working with Noel on multiple projects in the past, and in my most recent experience, he exceeded my expectations again! I was in charge of coordinating this year’s Bring Your Child to Work Day at MACU. During my initial meeting with Noel to discuss the scope of the project (including creating a theme w/logo, children invitations, MAC announcements, posters, participant activity books, bingo game, etc.) he was very open to my ideas. He listened carefully, asked clarifying questions, offered his expertise, and showed a genuine level of interest and excitement about the project.

Throughout the few weeks of planning and preparation, he consistently provided me status updates and would forward ideas and mock-ups to me for feedback and approval. Not only does Noel have a very pleasant, easy-going attitude, he is a creative genius! For example, I would suggest an idea to him for a puzzle or game for the workbook, he would not only add his signature touch to it, but he would take it home to his kids and ask them to test the game or puzzle. He was truly committed to making sure the activity book would be engaging and fun for kids of all ages!

Even when deadlines changed or progress “bumps” happened, Noel was positive and had a “can do” attitude. I knew some of the changes were going to create a crunch for him, but as always, he came through with quality work and on time. We would not have been able to pull this project together without Noel’s dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to product excellence. Noel Hilden again provided me with a true Signature Experience!

Thanks, it was a fun project!
