LOUISIANA SPCA
I've been working with the Louisiana SPCA since 2001. They are an organization near and dear to my heart. In 2001 I worked with the talented, Mark Andresen, and together we created their logo. From there, Bertman Design Studio continued to fine tune the LA/SPCA brand through an old fashion newsletter (no e-marketing in those days), invitations, annual reports, postcards and brochures. After Katrina, the LA/SPCA found themselves homeless like many others. A capital campaign piece was designed to raise funds for a new facility and in 2007 a beautiful, state-of-art, building was built. Building a brand new home – and going through Katrina together – brought new life into an already thriving organization. I'm proud to be part of the LA/SPCA for all these years!
LA/SPCA Newsletter
This newsletter was created (before e-marketing) to engage and inform the LA/SPCA audience and potential donors. Touting community success stories, tips and facts, event schedules and recipes this newsletter was filled with essential information for every animal lover. And we didn't forget to insert a self-addressed donation remit envelope. Designed as an oversized, one color piece and printed on recycled paper the newsletter was cost effective and eco-friendly.
LA/SPCA 2009 Annual Report
LA/SPCA Campaign Brochure
In 1997 PJ's Coffee's founder, Phyllis Jordan, wanted to change the image of the local franchise. We replaced the well known PJ's maroon plaid motif to an iron work, giving the brand a New Orleans feel while keeping the maroon and the PJ's lettering. To add color and clarity we color-coded each coffee roast, i.e. dark, french, medium, flavored and featured a story of how the roast's name came to be on the packaging.
Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours Rebrand
The first class travel business, Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours, is now sporting a new logo, business papers, web ads, social media presence and almost three new websites. At this time we are working on a D-Day Tour stand alone website. It is rewarding, interesting and informative to be able to work with such knowledgeable people. This client knows their history, but how can they not, the company was founded by Stephen Ambrose himself.
More rebranding items coming!

Tulane Law School Viewbook
Tom Varisco Designs and I teamed up to work with Tulane Law School in 1995. Today we are still having a great time designing for them. The Viewbook above was designed in 2009 and distributed until 2014. In 2012 the concept changed from Down the Road and Around the Globe to the current concept, Global and Grounded. We are currently working on the new 2015 Viewbook which will be a different format, but follow the same concept. I am lucky to work with such talented people, clients included! Tom Varisco and I have been working together on various projects since 1990. He has been a mentor, a colleague and a great friend.
