The Vision of South Texas Newsletter

The Division for Blind Services, Corpus Christi, TX

Project

To develop a large print quarterly newsletter for The Division for Blind Services, Corpus Christi Region with a distinctive masthead design that could change with each issue in terms of color and the seasons of the year. The newsletter would contain articles targeting  people who are visually impaired and employers who hire them highlighting success stories from the Corpus Christi Division for Blind Services clients.

Process

The masthead was created in Illustrator and given a Gulf Coast feel. The main body text was set at 14 pt for large print readability. The newsletter was layed out on broadsheet and the finished size is 11 x 17, and can be folded again to 8.5 x 11 for mailing. Small details and design elements were created for each issue to match the seasonal feel of the newsletter. The content for the newsletter was provided by staff specialists from the DBS Corpus Christi Region. Images were chosen to compliment the articles. Stories were edited by Media Services staff editor and by The Vision Editorial Board editor in Corpus Christi
