The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Development Collateral

The development department at The School of the Art Institute had a problem: Some of their fundraising collateral didn't match the creativity and energy of the school, other parts of their collateral fell victim to direct mail formula. The desire was to evoke a sense of pride and nostalgia when soliciting graduates and a sense of aspiration and accomplishment when soliciting large donors. They wanted liberation and inspiration and, after touring the School and getting access to their resources, there was plenty to bring them to direct mail nirvana (if such a place exists.) All components were made provocative through sophisticated details including unique folds which augmented user experience and impression.
