The Crackerjax Collective

Ongoing community service website and publication initiated as senior thesis project

The crackerjax collective is a website and printed magazine dedicated to helping promote and support the many talented youth of Bozeman Montana pursuing a professional path, in the arts, athletics or any other field. 

An interview with each member is featured on both the site and magazine, allowing the kids to propmote themselves through a professional and clean portfolio website.  Collateral material including business cards, stickers and labels were designed to enable each member to self-promote themselves and each other through the collective by sending potential customer/clients to the website.

Everything involved with the layout and design project, including interviews, photography, cover art and vector illustrations unless otherwise noted are original content that I created for this project.

This projects was started as a Senior Thesis Project and has evolved into an ongoing venture, collection and adding new members and talents feature primarily through the website.  A second printed issue is planned for the fall of 2014.
