Invisible Cities

Many middle- and high-income citizens never set foot in low-income neighborhoods, and therefore are unaware when these neighborhoods regenerate. This brochure explained the role of community development corporations and highlights their cumulative accomplishments nationally in rebuilding America’s “invisible cities.”

Expanding Regional Resources

Towson State University (now Towson University) was primarily known for teaching rather than research. This first annual report for the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects was designed to impress upon opinion leaders and business leaders that the university was also producing useful and consequential research.

The Enterprise Foundation History

The text for this piece was originally created as a two-page spread in the foundation’s 2002 Annual Report, which marked the nonprofit’s 20th anniversary. Executives were so pleased with the text that they used it, unchanged, in this separate printed piece.

Committed to the Community: Johns Hopkins in East Baltimore

Facing community opposition to its ambitious redevelopment of East Baltimore, the medical institutions wanted to publish a report to demonstrate to the community its good faith in meeting community needs. A first attempt at writing the report was unsuccessful. This second attempt took a peer-to-peer, rather than a top-down, focus, featuring stories of positive interactions between Hopkins’ students, staff and professionals and the campus’ neighbors.
