In Summer 2021, I had the opportunity to mentor Kristie virtually through the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD) Mentorship program. We worked on a branding project for the Indigenous-led Employment and Education agency, Nokee Kwe.
The RGD launched a new format of their Mentorship Program, where Students worked on a portfolio project assigned by and under the creative direction of professional Designers. Below, Kristie shares some project details.
A 44-page brand guide was created for Nokee Kwe focusing on accessibility. Templates for social media posts and flyers were also developed using these guidelines on Canva and MS Powerpoint. In addition to this, 7 unique icons with the brand elements were also created.
"Special thanks to Katie for teaching me about holistic design as well as engaging with culturally-sensitive materials. Her honesty, openness and wealth of knowledge were all essential to completing this project." - Kristie Jones, Student RGD
