CLIENT - IN THE CAR MEDIA
DELIVERABLES - Logo, Letterhead/Business Card, Application Examples
IN THE CAR MEDIA is a production company which produces a wide range of video work for a number of different types of clients. They needed an identity which could effectively represent them to a very broad audience, would work well as an animated component of the demo reel and communicate the depth of their varied client list. Return created a mark starting with a circle to reference the wheels of a car and combined it with the layers seen in the editing software used by IN THE CAR. The result is a fresh mark with subtle references to a wheel, a key, rotary movement, editing software and the divider lines seen on a highway. Return then explored multiple applications of the mark for use on different genres of video which are produced by IN THE CAR.

CLIENT - Sage Biofuels
DELIVERABLES - Logo State, Flash Animation, Website, Poster Series
Sage Biofuels asked Return Design to help them establish the visual look and feel for their new brand. While they had a new logo there was a need to fill out the visual language of the brand and to establish a tone for their interaction with investors and clients. We started with the creation of a second logo state to be added to the company's brand standards which stays 'on brand' but is a bit more useable on the web and in small applications. We went on to create a series of icons and animations which communicate the general concepts of Biofuel in a clear easily accessible way to the average consumer. That same 'approachable' display of information was used to create a series of posters to be used for displays and presentations. Finally, we designed a website that not only feels approachable to the new consumer but also holds the information needed to give a full picture of what Sage Biofuels does.

CLIENT - Gordon College Theatre Arts Department
DELIVERABLES - Logo, Photo Shoot, Poster, Post Card, Table Tents
For their production of Enchanted April the Gordon College Theatre Arts Department asked Return Design to produce a series of advertising materials that would clearly read as "theatre" to both on and off campus viewers and would express the professional level of acting coming out of their program. We started by setting up and directing a photo shoot of the actors in costume and in the school's theatre. We then designed a logo for the play which was applied across a number of different pieces. By using a number of different photos from the same shoot we were able to establish a recognizable visual in our viewers minds while retaining a fresh look as each new promotional piece was released.

CLIENT - STILLPOINT Magazine of Gordon College
DELIVERABLES - Illustrations/Visuals
Return Design created many of the visuals used in Volume 22.2 of STILLPOINT. Illustrations were built in a number of different ways for this issue:
- Origami and Photoshop were used to create an image to support an article about the economics of abortion
- Nests were sculpted out of wires found in campus dumpsters, which were then photographed to accompany the article "Nest of Wires"
- The Phillips Music Center was digitally rendered for a piece about the new Master of Music Program

CLIENT - MLK Breakfast/CMCC
DELIVERABLES - Program, Invitations/RSVP Card, Visual Floorplan, Animation
For years the Community Minority Cultural Center (CMCC) of Lynn has hosted an annual MLK Breakfast. The event is attended by local youth, community organizations, city government officials as well state leaders. Return Design was asked to create visuals which would reflect the importance and grandeur of the much anticipated event.
By using the words of MLK's "I have a dream" speech as a mask to reveal both MLK and local youth portraits we created a visual language which connected the current youth of Lynn to this important historical figure.
