I had the privilege of developing and designing the format, style, and layout rules for Community Renewal News, the quarterly newsletter of Community Renewal International in Shreveport, Louisiana. This newsletter serves as a vital communication tool, keeping members, donors, and supporters informed about the organization's initiatives, successes, and upcoming events. The design is clean, engaging, and aligns with CRI's mission of fostering community and connection.
