Portfolio
Building Systems magazine
For more than 14 years Straightline Design's publishing savvy established this publication as the authority in the home building industry. Over the years, the magazine earned high praise for its innovative and easy-to-read design—including capturing an Ozzie Award from Folio magazine. The accolades are great. But we take much greater satisfaction in reactions like this from the client:
"I've collaborated with scores of graphic designers. None have had the skills, talent and easygoing personalities of the team at Straightline Design."

Building Systems Magazine
Property Investor Magazine
Straightline Design was approached to design and produce the premier issue for this consumer publication. The challenge of developing a brand identity for this aspiring publication was greatly intensified by the client's timeline: the to-press date was just 15 days after our initial project meeting. The deadline was met and both client and their readers loved the results.
Western Governor's University
Producing a university catalog of various degree offerings provides a special design challenge. This publication had to be professional yet approachable. It also had to provide detailed content without looking overly copy-intensive. The challenge was met on all fronts. As a result of this easy to comprehend design, student registration was up the next semester. More important to our client, we came in under budget and delivered a product that went well beyond their expectations.
Neighborhood News
Straightline Design was retained by the publisher of Neighborhood News for a redesign of this popular annual tabloid that reports on the real estate market and community happenings in some of Denver's most exclusive communities. With an abundance of content, it was important to craft an easy-to-read format while still clearly promoting the real estate services of the publisher.
Newsletters
An effective newsletter can educate potential customers, spur sales, encourage repeat business, improve customer confidence in your company, or even rally your workers by providing recognition and improving morale. But achieving all that on a budget can be challenging. That's where Straightline Design's expertise in this communication can help. We've designed a number of cost effective newsletters that have generated a return on investment for our clients and helped build their brand.
