"Stories From the Heart"

giving campaign*

I was responsible for creating this campaign from beginning to end, both graphically and editorially. I wrote the copy, conducted and edited video interviews, photographed subjects, and turned all products into an 8-page visual mailer. I also created a wall design to showcase the member replies through their individual pledges and personal stories of why they give.

Other work involved:

  • Research options for a cost effective printed mailer, with pieces including: "I Give Because..." postcard, a bookmark to match stories concept, pledge card
  • Conduct Heart Stories interviews on an iPhone and over zoom, editing in iMovie for final presentations (having limited budget and access to video software)
  • Photograph members with a "Because you gave" sign to highlight how pledges affect the community
