Chicago Graphic
a print design project by Lise

Creative brief

We are an award-winning gift basket company, located in Chicago Il. We do a significant number of Chicago themed gifts for both corporate and consumer clients - therefore the final design needs to be appropriate for both.

We are looking for a graphic depiction that screams Chicago - particularly to people who are NOT from here. We will be using this in several different ways:

1. On a gift bag that will hold other Chicago gift items. The bag face will measure approximately 8"w x 10"h.

2. As a header for a package of Cookies. The header will measure about 6"w x 3"h.

3. Potentially on the front of a Journal.

4. Potentially as a label to put onto other items.

Because of the multiple uses we are looking for, a graphic that can be used in chunks is something that we are open to.

We need the design to be something that we can print in both 4 color and black and white (or any two color combo).

We have considered a great graphic depiction of the word Chicago or something including landmarks - but that is as far as we got. Our current Chicago designs can be found here: www.basketworks.biz/Sweet_Home_Chicago.htm The containers show there are commercially available - we like them but want something to call our own.

Please ask me anything you need to know. I would like the file in jpeg as well as eps.
