While I was a graphic designer at AlterEgo Marketing, I had the opportunity to work on the Miss Illinois 2019 press tour. The two largest projects I completed were a website for the #IncludeTheArts campaign and a recap booklet including data and informational spreads.
As I was working on this project, I realized that her platform of arts in education would work well with the goals and ideals of one of my other clients – the Association of Illinois Rural and Small Schools – and introduced the team to Dave, the Executive Director.
Through this partnership, the Miss Illinois team was able to spread the #IncludeTheArts message to the over 500 schools that AIRSS represents through the Postcard Project. Ariel also visited schools that would not usually be included in a press tour, which really made those kids smile!
