Project details

What we need
  • Designs for one piece of marketing or communications collateral (e.g., fact sheet, case study, event invitations)
  • Templates with accurate, print-ready specifications
  • Note: Please post an additional project if more than one piece of collateral is needed
Additional details

We are seeking a volunteer to design a program book for our upcoming experimental film festival which will feature 9-10 programs and and about 50 or so films. The poster/cover art for the festival is already done, so we are hoping to find a graphic designer who can incorporate some of the poster art elements in the program book while also organizing a basic layout. As program and film info is confirmed, the graphic designer would also help input text and photos.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the festival poster art and logo, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have past examples, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to purchase equipment needed to screen these groundbreaking films outdoors for local audiences to enjoy safely.

A program book is incredibly important to any film festival as it serves the dual purpose of 1) promoting the festival and individual films selected for programming to a wider audience, and 2) archiving the annual festival to provide evidence of activities and to support our organization's culture, mission, and history. Although the festival programs are hosted on our website, it must be renewed each year and we lose the ability to reflect on and reference our festival's important history.

Testimonials

Bruce was such a pleasure to work with! He was patient, professional, and easy to communicate with which we really appreciated as we exchanged changes, feedback and ideas over the few weeks working together. We're so excited to share Bruce's beautifully designed program book with our festival audience and filmmakers as well as keep a copy for ourselves to archive this moment in our organization's history.
