Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group—2017

Challenge

Since this was the 26th conference held by this organization, one challenge was to create a fresh design and to make a memorable publicity campaign promoting the annual conference and increasing attendance.

The Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group is a nonprofit that offers reasonably priced conferences for farmers and advocates every winter in rotating locations throughout the South.

Solution

The 2017 conference was held in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. A fresh look was created using licensed watercolor illustrations and hand-brushed calligraphy fonts.

“I left the conference with so much new knowledge and excitement to put it into practice… I know this type of conference takes crazy amounts of work and effort and money, so thank you so very much for all you do for us as farmers!”
