One of my first projects as a freelancer was a series of photos for H&R Block. They wanted office wall art that wasnât the generic âmotivationalâ imagery from the franchise headquarters. Instead, the owners wanted photos of the historic buildings and sites around our town, Saline, MI. For this project, I:
-Took DSLR photos around town, choosing the best time of day for lighting
-Designed the photos to adhere to the franchiseâs branding guidelines
-Prepared the files for printing and sent the files to the printer
The result is a group of images that speak volumes about Saline and its history. Walking through the office is like taking a history tour of our town, which, as a town directly on Michigan Ave between Detroit and Chicago, is some pretty exciting stuff to learn.
The owners told me how a man with Alzheimer's walked through and started remembering stories of when he was a child at the Union High School, Rentschler Farm, and Murphyâs Crossing in downtown Saline. It still makes me tear up to think about that story.
One of my first, and probably one of my favorite projects so far as a freelance graphic designer!
