Graphic Design Collaboration with Visit Durango
Visit Durango is a non-profit organization and tourism office that focuses on supporting and promoting tourism in Durango, Colorado. At Visit Durango, I was tasked with creating a wide variety of graphic materials, ranging from poster campaigns to creating maps of the area, and I am very proud to have contributed to the community of Durango, Colorado
"Durango in Motion" poster campaign
"Durango in motion" is a seven-poster series that celebrates the large variety of outdoor recreational activities that are common in Durango, where all posters follow a similar visual language so that multiple sports can be represented in a cohesive and collectible set of posters for a wide variety of activities.
The posters also feature one of the many locations around Durango where people can go to participate in the respective activities, in an effort to boost public awareness of these places and influence traffic into these areas that are in lesser-traveled when compared to more popular locations.
Durango Playing Cards
The Durango Playing cards I designed are a love letter to Durango that emphasizes the beauty of our resident wildlife and the exciting outdoor activities Durango has to offer. The Deck features four wildlife creatures and three amazing summertime activities available in Durango, plus two flipbook animations on the number cards!
"Be Aware! Recreate with Care!" Main Street banner (unused)
I was tasked with creating large banners to be posted above Main Street for Visit Durango's 'Be Aware! Recreate with Care!' Campaign to help inform Durango's recreational visitors & residents all year how to safely and respectfully recreate in the beautiful land we inhabit.
Each of these banners needed to include photography from their extensive library, which allowed me to select high-quality photos that could be effectively treated to create fun and vibrant banners representing their respective seasons, using a similar style to what I had been creating for their visual identity in the past.

Spoketober Collectable Poster
Spoketober Event Schedule
Spoketober Collectable Posters and Schedule Flyers
Spoketober is a family-oriented event hosted by Visit Durango, which partnered with the City of Durango and local businesses to celebrate Durango's rich cycling culture. Spoketober gives residents of Durango and visitors opportunities to build community and participate in fun cycling events or cyclist-only deals for most of October.
I designed the Event Schedule flyer and the Spoketober Collectable Poster. The Event flyer is intended to be a fast and easy way for people to know detailed information about the events taking place at a glance, and the Spoketober collectable poster is intended as a poster that can be collected by participants each year, though this was the very first annual Spoketober.
