Client News
March 2011 — A busy first quarter for 2011 landed a myriad of web and print projects on our desks. We launched four custom-designed WordPress web sites, and worked on a wide variety of print design projects for public-sector clients, local associations, non-profits, and corporations.
We worked with eightfold strategy on the design and production of a website for a local advocacy group, to help them better communicate with local parents, politicians, and to increase awareness about early-education issues. GreatStartDC.org, is an easy-to-update, completely custom and hand-coded WordPress website. When DemocracyInAmericas.org launched it replaced an already robust but older-technology website. The WordPress dashboard allows staff and guest bloggers to easily publish from any browser. An updated interface and content restructuring ensured that the vast content on the site was easy to find. GrowthandRecovery.com is an update to a website we designed for the group a decade ago. The site continues to successfully reach new clients, and now facilitates thought leadership through its easy-to-use blog. The WordPress dashboard also offers all staff easy-to-update biography and service pages.
We also finished up our yearly Aspen annual report for Brookings. We partnered with the Center for Democracy in the Americas to design and lay out two 
books, one about Cuba and Oil, and the other on the subject of El Salvador. We helped a new advocacy firm, JDM Public Strategies, create a strong brand by designing a new logo design (see left) and web site.
We are helping the Mansfield Foundation transfer their website to WordPress, and build custom templates that will allow them to build out their website in-house. We designed a special advertising insert featuring universities in the latest edition of Foreign Affairs. We designed a holiday card for the Sentencing Project, an 
advocacy group in Washington DC that we have provided graphic design services to for almost a decade. The Sentencing Project is also celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2011, and asked us to create an anniversary logo, which we then applied to their web banners and stationary. We also designed a full-color ad for a custom jewelry designer to target local tourists.
January 2011 — In the last quarter of 2010, MillerCox again partnered with GBB, Inc., a local consultancy, who we have worked with for over a decade, by providing design solutions for a number of their clients. In the past 12 months, we have helped them to effectively communicate with the residents of Guam and educate them to better manage their solid waste and recycling. We designed an entire system of printed materials, including this brochure mailer, which explains how to recycle curbside. We also designed the Guam / GBB website, posters, postcards, cart hangers and other informational collateral. Call us at 301 933 4062 if you'd like to see this design project in more detail. We also refreshed our design of GBB's corporate brochure in late 2010.
In the healthcare industry, we have provided graphic design services to Good Samaritan Hospital, and ASHP Advantage, a health-care education organization that provides continuing education to pharmacists and nurses. Timepiece, a nursing newsletter, has been a project of ours for over seven years. ASHP Advantage was one of our very first clients (since 1998) and we designed a direct mail postcard aimed at pharmacists.
September 2010 — Summer was busy around here, and included design projects for several centers at Brookings with brochure design and publication design. The Center for Universal Education, a policy center focusing on
universal quality of education in the developing world, needed a leave-behind brochure for the events they attend, and to mail to funders. We designed a four-panel evergreen brochure that tells their story and positions them as a thought leader. Brookings also publishes books and journals, and we have designed and produced their catalogs for over a decade, and we also mock-up book covers, and photograph arrangements of the newest books for various catalog covers.
May 2010 — The first quarter of 2010 was busy at MillerCox Design. We finished up our yearly Aspen report for a local think tank, launched a website for a new DC consulting firm, and completed a brochure series for a local health care association. The team created several ads for a local book publisher and a jewelry designer, and designed a marketing package sponsored by a pharmaceutical corporation. We entered the North American Sea Glass Association logo into the “HOW” design annual design competition, attended master training on web design and even found time to visit the National Gallery for inspiration.
