Supporting those who support the community

The Grande Prairie Hospice Palliative Care Society is committed to establishing and continuing expert end-of-life care for community members with a terminal illness and providing support for their families. They came to Image Design earlier this year in need of a logo and a business card design, that incorporated both sunflower and butterfly imagery. To support their cause, we credited them $1,000 in design services as part of our 10th birthday $10,000 celebration mentioned in this page’s sidebar. gphospice.ca

Preserving a bit of local history

Several months ago, Image Design was approached by the Grande Prairie Museum with a very ambitious project.

If you scanned last Friday’s Daily Herald (May 28), you may have read that the Forbes Presbyterian Church and the GP Museum is commemorating the 100th year anniversary of the arrival of Alexander and Agnes Forbes’ to Grande Prairie.

These missionaries were instrumental in establishing the Presbyterian Church and health care services in the region when settlement here had barely begun. In 1911, their home even served as the region’s first official hospital! This building (the oldest in Grande Prairie) has been restored to its 1940s condition, and it is now open for the public to explore.

Image Design was responsible for researching, writing, and designing the information panels located inside. To help promote the Forbes’ captivating story, we donated $1,000 in design time as part of our 10th birthday $10,000 celebration (explained in our first post).

If you have a chance, we highly recommend swinging by 96 St. and 106 Ave. to check out the finished project. Call the Museum at 780-532-5482 for more info.

$10,000 to ten local non-profits

It’s Image Design’s 10th anniversary! To thank our community for a decade of support and business, we’ve decided to donate $1,000 each in design services to ten local non-profits. To date, seven organizations have come forward looking for help creating everything from logos and websites to invitation cards and event marketing materials. These projects have been extremely rewarding, and we look forward to sharing them with you here. Stay tuned!

If you know of a non-profit organization that you think could use our help, please email nan@imagedesignpros.com.
