Getting your message across is easier when it looks good.
City Hall’s environmental programs division seeks $60,000 worth of graphic design to promote the goals of the Sustainable City Plan, which focuses on water efficiency, green building, energy efficiency, urban runoff and hazardous materials management. The plan will cost $60,000 for the fiscal year 2006-07, and may cost another $60,000 in the next year.
In April, city staff requested help in graphic design from six companies for a consultant to create and develop outreach materials for public health and environmental programs. Those materials will show up in print collateral, advertisements, direct mail, the Internet and displays at events.
City staff has recommended hiring Cowan Communication Arts, based on price and creativity. Cowan Communication Arts will provide what city staff hopes to be visually appealing materials, copy-writing services, design and produce brochures, fliers, posters and truck signs.
