Hello Week
Start with Hello Week was one of the greatest projects I had the opportunity to be apart of. Start With Hello (as explain by Madison Cares) is a campaign created by The Sandy Hook Promise that “…helps teach children, teens and young adults about social inclusion and how to become more connected with one another.” The Start With Hello campaign I was able to be apart of started on October 28th and ended on November 1st. In order to get the local school district excited, I was in charge of creating unique graphics that would help students, teachers, and parents understand what special activity they could be apart of to promote the campaign that day. The specific activities were decided by Madison Cares (of Madison School District #321) and I, alone, took these activities and made them into Hello Week graphics. My designs for each day of Hello Week were sketched out first before being put into illustrator. Each day for Hello Week and each graphic matching that day is shown below.

Start With Hello Week: Visiting the Schools
After the daily graphics were completed, all that was left to do was to visit the local elementary, middle, and high schools every day. We had a couple of snowy days right before Halloween but enjoyed promoting social inclusion. Changing someone’s life can be as simple as saying “Hello”. I felt so honored to be able to be involved in this campaign in many different capacities.
