Doing some graphic design in the Peace Corps

Ridev Website Homepage

Here’s a quick preview of one of the projects I’m working on that I’m hoping to finish next week. RIDEV is an organization supporting development and promoting the protection of human rights, based in Bafoussam, the capital of the West Region.

In addition to designing and building their website, I designed a new logo for them and they’ll also get new letterhead and business cards to go with it. Someone said something about drink cozies and custom printed pagne too–I think they were getting a bit carried with ideas about all the things on which they can put their new logo. I’m really enjoying all the design projects I’ve been doing lately. Don’t get me wrong, I love teaching computers, but it’s nice to put my BFA in graphic design to some good use here in Cameroon.

In between teaching classes, making websites, and working on materials for the HIV Moto project (update on that project coming soon!), I also designed a few t-shirts last week for Social Designer. They have weekly design competitions, and when I saw one to design a shirt defining and promoting world peace, I figured I might as well submit some designs, since I like peace and all. If you like them, you can sign up on Social Designer and “favorite” them to help me win.
