Morris Animal Foundation 2008-2009 Sponsorship Booklet, cover and interior spread.

Founded in1948, Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) is the world’s largest nonprofit foundation 501(c)(3) dedicated to funding research studies to protect, treat and cure animals, including companion animals, as well as wildlife. Nearly 50 of the world’s most respected research institutions, colleges of veterinary medicine, and zoos are conducting about 156 MAF-sponsored studies and 43 veterinary student projects (2008-2009).

MAF was very pleased with the mural that I created for them in February. They asked if I could design their sponsorship booklet this year. I was concerned that they were tired of the silhouettes from the mural after six months.  I wanted to present some fresh ideas.  I presented two other concepts.  One concept more photographic and the other more artistic.  I also presented some ideas to help their donors navigate through the booklet easier.  Ultimately they decided to use the silhouettes originally developed for their mural because it fit with the global impact theme of the booklet.  I used InDesign CS3 toput together the 96 page booklet.  In the end there were a total of 167 images in the project.
