Get a behind-the-scenes look into Philosophy designer Abby Conrad's brilliant concept and design for Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA)🔎

We were hired to communicate the City of Englewood, CO - Government's plan for water, sewer, stormwater, and infrastructure improvements.

The biggest challenge was simplifying complex messaging, so it could be understood by the general public. In partnership with its wastewater treatment plant, utilities and public works, Philosophy decided to use visual storytelling and created many simple visual elements including video, ads, and an infographic to help residents understand the rise in utility rates and communicate the continual city improvements.

Yesterday, Philosophy team members, Jen Lester, Randall Erkelens, Rachel Cella, Abby Conrad and Jill Ruppenthal celebrated the end of an innovative project with the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA).

CBCA Business for the Arts Awards celebrates state-of-the-art cross-sector partnerships, generous philanthropy, creative businesses, and stellar leadership across the state. Congratulations to our lead designer Abby Conrad for her clever three-dimensional design which was incorporated in a variety of collateral for the event including the electronic invite, luncheon program book, notepads, print and digital ads, and a versatile graphics package used for digital. The red and blue colors represent the combination of business and arts; each of these industries alone is good, but together they can create something amazing.

Thank you so much to CBCA for hosting an incredibly inspiring ceremony and stay tuned to learn more about Abby's design and concept!
