Re-imagining the Catalog
Inspired by the vision of Phil Lacey, the company’s new Artistic Director, A Great Idea embraced the challenge to reflect and update the perception of the Gilbert & Sullivan Library of wit, wisdom, and wildness for new audiences. A Great Idea brought forward a rich palette and made intentional references to the political climates (on and offstage) through the key art‘s poster design.
The Outtake, Sort Of
Sometimes, it is insightful to see the alternative choices, and we share this one because our partner asked A Great Idea to produce materials for an A/B test of creative. We love this, when it's possible, to better gauge how stories and visuals connect with audiences. A Great Idea created an alternate campaign that ran on social media to support ticket sales so we could better target future campaigns.

Is there a difference between print and digital design?
Put simply, print design is collateral design, meant for physical assets, while digital design is for electronic dissemination. Beyond that, there are differences in the designs we create for each channel. Considerations like text size, colors, and readability vary across formats.
Can you print materials?
While we don’t do in-house printing, we can help you get your materials printed! This includes having final printed materials sent to you or printed near you for pickup. In the design process, we ensure your files are prepared to be sent to printers by ensuring correct sizing, bleeds, and file packaging.
What is brand identity development?
Brand identity development is the process of figuring out how a brand looks and feels based on its values, mission and personality.
It involves stakeholder input—community members, staff, and leaders—and includes visual elements like the logo, color palette, typography, imagery, and overall style. Together, these pieces make the brand look consistent and easy to recognize everywhere it’s used.
What type of awareness campaigns do you handle?
We work on a wide variety of awareness campaigns! We most often work with nonprofit, community, education, and healthcare organizations. For example, we have developed campaigns for our clients on topics like social justice awareness, public health awareness, advocacy, community resource awareness, and stigma reduction.
How do I measure the success of my awareness campaign?
Success varies based on your goals for the campaign. At the beginning of our collaboration, we will define our shared metrics of success. This can include anything from uptake of a hashtag to signups for your event! We set up digital awareness campaigns to be trackable—that way, we can collect analytics that evaluate campaign success to inform your future strategy.
