Presentation and companion pieces for museums and galleries. Fundraising tapes and multi-media for arts and non-profit organizations.
	Presentation media for museums is designed to draw visitors further into the exhibition or performance. Media can concentrate on esoteric and emotional aspects of content that is more difficult to quantify. Promotional media is designed to convince foundations, corporations and individuals that an organization is worthy of support. Investment in promotional media is offset by the expected benefits and care is taken to make the most of resources. Working closely with development staff and Board members, visual design and energy of material is designed to increase impact and clarity of message.
