Fairfax County Public Library
Graphic Artist ~ Marketing and Communications Department
The Library's mission is to enrich individual and community life by providing and encouraging the use of library resources and services to meet the evolving educational, recreational and informational needs of the residents of Fairfax County and Fairfax City.

With twenty three branches, the FCPL system required a great deal of support and coordination. As a graphic Artist, I designed layouts for newsletters, publication covers, and library signage. I also contributed to concept strategies and served as lead designer for a partnership program with the For Love of Country Foundation.

Cool Clips is an annual contest for all interested students in Fairfax County. This bookmark (front and back) was distributed at all of the FCPL branches and served as a primary marketing tool for the program.

Created additional figures to expand the concept for used throughout the publication
The following are samples of templates I designed for use by the 23 different FCPL branches to use in promoting their individual programs. Each branch had access to Adobe Publisher, so the downloadable files catered to their software, paper, and printing capabilities, while maintaining FCPL’s branding standards.
The illustrations are original and designed to apply to the most popular programs; special requests could be made with two weeks notice.
These were the first such templates to be designed for use within the FCPL system.
