Ross Bay’s design of our Community School of the Arts brochure has a classic element to it: while elegant in appearance, it is warm and inviting; while timeless in design, it is still focused. Ross’s expertise with photography, writing, and design, along with care in discerning exactly what our organization needed, resulted in work of the highest quality.”

At a foundational level, Ross is gifted in graphic design and has pursued his career with energy, focus and skill, looking for opportunities to expand his knowledge, contribute positively and efficiently to the offices and agencies he joins and build relationships. This has resulted in a strong knowledge of how organizations work with branding and graphic identity standards, how to do pre-press work with an interest in helping clients keep budgets lower and relationships with printers positive and experience working with a wide variety of projects from point-of-purchase displays to brochures to ads to magazines to posters. His inherently sophisticated organizational skills and use of technology distinguishes him from other young professionals. Ross listens to the communication goals we have for a specific piece and considers how the project needs to be aligned with the goals of a specific program or office and the over-arching values of the institution. He very often anticipates how to solve particular challenges – well-chosen visuals to underscore important messages, or suggestions for reaching audiences multiple times with different but consistent presentations of the same message. He is creative within parameters we offer, to best maximize opportunities to underscore the “givens” and to positively surprise our audiences. For example, Ross recently created a poster for us intended for a low-run, specific use, but that has been expanded in circulation ten-fold by our College Relations office because of the cohesive and engaging presentation of content.”
