Book excerpt: Nonprofit organizations with limited resources are in great need of effective visual design systems to help communicate their messages and focus their mission. Working together, a designer and a nonprofit organization can develop strategic plans and integrated design programs needed to create a cohesive visual system for clear communication. In addition to facilitating the creation of consistent visual materials, this thesis serves as a resource guide for improving the process-oriented collaboration between the designer and the nonprofit organization. As graphic designers continue to become involved with social and community design efforts, the design principles discussed in this thesis will further enrich the development of design solutions for nonprofit organizations.
