I helped Matt James with the creation of handouts, fliers, business cards, newspaper articles and chloroplast signs. I produced strong and clean cut designs to help him look more professional and most of all to represent himself through our clean work. Being that he is 21 years old, running for City Council was a very nervous decision. Many people were struck by his age, but he pushed through and won peoples trust, telling them that his age will end up being a benefit because he has a much younger perspective. Update: He won first place in the November 4th, 2014, City Council Elections and he had won by a long shot. I feel very pleased to think that my graphic design abilities had helped him along the way.
