I was hired by branding agency Colour Outside to work with them on designing print materials for the National Center of State Courts' annual William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence.

As this is an annual event, the ook and feel for the print materials changes every year based on the designer's preference with the only parameters being that NCSC colors must be used and the overall treatment must reflect the nature of the organization and its members (i.e, simple and traditional, but elegant and sophisticated).

Not wanting to go with obvious concepts such as pillars, the concept for this year was based on a simple graphic treatment of the numbers 2016, written out in roman numerals as a nod to the architecture in the Supreme Court (of which roman numerals abound in sculptures and plaques).

Event materials included a Save the Date, Invitation Suite, dinner and lunch programs, and dinner menus.
