Project details
What we need
- A high-resolution digital version of an illustration that can be used across multiple channels (web, print, and/or merchandising)
Additional details
We are celebrating Storefront for Community Design's 10th anniversary and will be throwing an anniversary party in May. We will be kicking off the marketing of the event in mid-February and planning to include an illustration to use on the save the date, sponsorship opportunities, webpage, and marketing materials. We are planning a small block party along the sidewalks outside of our office in downtown and we would like to replicate this through an illustration / elevation of our block.
What we have in place
- We currently have a fun idea and photos of what we would like to illustrate, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have our style guide, information on our anniversary,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to focus on the logistics of the event without spending brain energy and funding on an engaging graphic. It will also be good to engage an outside designer to help build the illustration for the event.
This project is important because we are celebrating 10 years of bringing design resources to Richmond communities and we need an engaging and fun illustration to get our community members and funders excited about participating and attending. This is a great opportunity to use this event as a fundraiser and sponsorship opportunity, but also provide a venue for community members to learn about our programming and impact.

Our mission
To inspire equitable community-driven design in the built environment through innovative programs and resources that engage the next generation of designers.
What we do
Many Richmond residents do not have the opportunity to participate in city planning, nor understand the complex forces shaping the designs. Storefront for Community Design is a non-profit design center in Richmond, Virginia, founded to bridge the gap and make design programs and resources accessible to all for the love of our city. We aid community partners in ideas advancing areas of environmental and food justice, health and wellness, economic development, placemaking/placekeeping and design/planning tools to empower community organizing.
Since 2011, Storefront has convened over 370 low-cost design and planning assistance projects and over 20 design education initiatives to community members, businesses, non-profit organizations, local governments, and neighborhoods, with an estimated value of donated services well over $1,080,000. Our community-led projects range from assisting a high school student to envision her idea for an urban mini-farm, to guidance on storefront and facade improvements for small businesses, to collaborating with youth and young adults to create a vision for a neighborhood food forest, and to a community visioning that empowered residents to share their ideas for the new use of an old bank building.
