A look back at the last Pancake Breakfast

This is the flier (above) and menu that I designed for the spring 2009 Pancake Breakfast at my work. The menu was on an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper that was folded in half and had the same image on each side.

I was aiming for a retro look and feel with the fonts, colors, images, and shapes. Besides the flier and menu, I designed the program, tickets, and donation drawing (raffle) information sheet.

I'll be designing all that stuff for this fall's Pancake Breakfast, which I'm also co-organizing. The event is on Oct. 25 -- only 17 days away!

Flier: Pancake Breakfast Fall 2009

A few days ago, I wrote in a blog post about fall, mentioning an event I'm co-organizing with a fall theme. After 10 drafts, with some of the changes more dramatic than others, I finally have a flier for Pancake Breakfast!

Over the past few years, I've designed newsletters (fall 2o08, spring 2008, fall 2007), as well as fliers and other printed material for my workplace. While I had some experience with QuarkXPress and InDesign from designing layouts for student newspapers, desktop publishing was something that I got into during the last few years, and I definitely enjoy it (even when it can be hard to go through multiple drafts).

When I check out Web sites such as Wedding Paper Divas, I think it would be great to create things for other people and their events. In the future, I'd like to post more of my work on this blog.
