The Project
Following our collaboration on Chicago Dance Month, it was a thrill to work with See Chicago Dance on their annual Gala. This event celebrates the Chicago dance community and honors the dedication of leaders who have devoted their lives to dance. Notably, this was the final year that See Chicago Dance would feature Arthur Wright’s illustration, “Playing Air Piano,” to promote the event.
The Process and Outcome
The project consisted of two main components. The first part involved creating a printed invitation, an email graphic, a custom background for a landing page, and an event page header. These graphics were designed to align with ongoing branding updates and incorporated elements that were previously used for the 2024 Chicago Dance Month. Collaborating with key staff and leadership allowed us to refine and enhance the overall aesthetics before moving on to the second part of the project.
The second task involved editing two tribute videos, one for the 2024 Legacy Awardee, Jan Bartoszek, and another for the 2024 Distinguished Service to the Dance Field Award recipient, Patti Eylar. I was given creative freedom in editing the provided videos and photos but communication remained open throughout the process to ensure the awardees were honored in a way that reflected the grand atmosphere of the sold-out Gala.
