As one of the top music schools in NJ, the Thurnauer School of Music marked its 25th anniversary with a complete campaign-style calendar of events. Page2 was challenged with developing the overall design strategy of the campaign — which had to reflect the school's classical heritage, diverse student body and other complex characteristics — then apply that strategy to a suite of different print and digital components.

Pearson needed an app that would help prepare K-12 students for science tests that meet the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards. Since both the age of the user and the depth of the subject matter spanned wide ranges, the challenge for Page2 was multi-layered. The design and navigation scheme that we developed interweaves multiple areas of science while, at the same time, remaining clear and engaging enough for any level of student.

ConnectYard links students & teachers, employees & management, citizens & their communities with its centralized social media platform. Among other marketing initiatives, Page2 developed this versatile template that can be customized for market-specific sell sheets, modified to form a case study sheet, or serve a variety of other document functions.

As is the case with many of our clients, it's hard to remember a time when Page2 didn't have a strong relationship with Berlitz. From their English Language Learning program to complete curricula in German, Spanish, French and other languages, we've played a lead role in the design and/or production of many Berlitz print, packaging, media and online components.

For this High School textbook design, the challenge assigned to Page2 was to make Economics cool and real — don't talk down, don't talk dry — make it look like something these kids might actually want to check out. Part of our approach was to avoid copping-out/selling-short on the level of design...if executed effectively, you truly can feature rich, involved visuals and complex graphic elements without detracting from the content.

This adaptation of the Botvin LifeSkills Training program — produced by National Health Promotion Associates — targets the health and wellness of students in career and technical education schools. The design objectives focused on a look that was less educational and more contemporary, with a sleek look and feel that would appeal to both students and teachers.

California's Claremont Graduate University assigned Page2 the challenge of developing a design template for their professional research reports. Our goal was to elevate the quality of presentation to be more in balance with the quality of information. With these newly designed reports, the perceived value of the final work product has been raised — even before the first word of research is read.

Complications in product pipelining meant that this McGraw-Hill grammar series needed its covers developed fast. Long story, short — Page2 was first briefed on the project early one weekday evening. Midway through the following morning, we presented the client with completed concepts, including placed photography and alternate image options. With extremely minimal changes, the final covers were then produced.

ConnectYard provides a centralized social media platform that allows users to interact across popular social and mobile technologies. As a tech-centric business, the CY logo had to display a crisp, modern style. The branding that we achieved combines iconography that illustrates the themes of networking and connectivity with clean, contemporary typography that sets a technological tone.

Developed in two strands — Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking and Listening, Speaking, and Critical Thinking — each consisting of five levels, this innovative Cengage + National Geographic Learning ELL program has met with great success. Its achievements, as reported from both the classroom and the critics, are due in part to its striking design that captures attention without competing with pedagogy.

Pearson’s OLE (Online Learning Exchange) app was developed to better position Pearson as a technology leader. The app effectively demonstrates the ability to package interactive marketing tools — such as sales presentations and product tutorials — for mobile media, allowing the sales force to deliver engaging up-to-the-minute presentations without the need for Internet access.
