Brochure samples from the past
Here are a couple of brochure samples from the past.
Report on The Atomic Sailors
Design and packaging for an enlightening story by the Tampa Bay Times. The crew of the USS Calhoun County was assigned to dump tons of radioactive waste into the Atlantic Ocean from 1946 to 1960. The conditions on the ship and of the materials being disposed of posed great threat to crew members who remember barely being informed of the true hazards of this duty. The story by Bill Levesque looks into records and disputed health claims on the 50th anniversary of the eventual sinking of the Calhoun. Amazing photos, video testimonies and documentation help portray the grim picture.
America’s Worst Charities
Had the pleasure to design the landing page and packaging for this ambitious project by the enterprise team of the Tampa Bay Times. America’s Worst Charities brings to light disturbing practices by funds raisers across the nation. In many cases only a small fraction of the funds raised actually go to the intended causes, and some of those charities themselves are little more than a network set up by groups who run both the soliciting phone banks and the “cause,” thus keeping most of the funds collected in service and salary fees.
This report was the result of a yearlong collaboration between the Tampa Bay Times and California-based Center for Investigative Reporting, the nation’s largest and longest serving nonprofit newsroom dedicated to watchdog journalism. CNN also participated the partnership. Leading the investigation were the Times’ Kris Hundley and Kendall Taggart from CIR. Bill Higgins of the Times led the development on a database on the 50 worst offenders, a database of state-by-state citations, and a tool for consumers to report suspicious charities.
