I recently accepted a Volunteer position doing design projects for the non-profit: Community Cycling Center.
I had a wonderful conversation with them over the phone. I also noticed that my nervousness and excitement for the possibility didn't cause any concern on their part, which was good. I believe I came across as enthusiastic about developing a relationship with them and excited to work on design with them.
I was very nervous about the call, but I understood that if I wasn't selected, that interviewing for freelance clients was good practice.
The Project
A Presentation that Works
My first project after the initial phone call was to develop a series of slides for presentations they make to create interest within the biking community as well as a way to showcase the company in a positive way for business interests.
What They Needed
Professional, Versatile, and On-Brand
The previously created slides while still good and keeps to their company stylesheet, they weren't quite what they were looking for.
They wanted something more professional and versatile. I was happy to oblige. They then sent along the previously designed slides and their stylesheet shortly thereafter.
The goal was a set of PowerPoint and Keynote master slides that could hold their own in a boardroom or donor meeting — something that looked important without straying from who Community Cycling Center is.
