A Visit with Mary Todd Lincoln


 I am such a fan of public libraries. Whoa. What other institution does so much to educate the masses? So I was happy to pitch in when the Vigo County Public Library asked me to pull together some programs for their fundraiser event featuring Deborah Gentit as Mary Todd Lincoln.

This program is a great example of how organizations with small budgets can still have great-looking materials. We designed the piece to use black ink only and provided the Library with a PDF for them to print as they found best. But since the program was well designed, it'll look good no matter what. I had a lot of fun pulling the 1860s typographical style in for a simple but nice little program. See more photos here.
