Fun Design Projects in Africa

In another season of life before we came to Africa, I spent 10 years working for a web design company in Nebraska. I started out as the company's first "designer" in the owner's basement (God bless him for not firing me the first day - I knew NOTHING). The last 5 years I wisely stepped away from design and oversaw the operations of the company.

All that to say - I do love creativity and have had fun here in Africa with a few little projects.

Here are some samples to give you a "visual idea" of what we've been up to.


Invite to Emme's 2nd Birthday Party (see full invite at http://karlandjulie.com/pdf/emme_invite_web.pdf)


Invite for Baby Shower (our "house" threw a baby shower for the property manager's wife)



Tags attached to candy bars
(we gave these to Ocean View High School teachers to encourage them)

Logo for our after school club at Ocean View High (The Amazing African Film Society). We are bringing in successful African women from Cape Town and teaching the girls how to interview them with the FLIP video camera and make a movie using iMovie.



Logo for the Leadership Adventure Camp
we are doing this weekend with the Ocean View High School student council members



Logo for the Discovery House - This is my VERY new idea that is still in the research process (we are praying about developing a house for single moms and their children - a one year discipleship program that involves Discovery Bible Study, teaching life skills and cultivating job skills).
