A RECTILINEAR APPROACH

CPAC uses linear elements to help

structure content and maintain a clean

look on the page This may have atendency to look mechanical or clinical

Include elements to soften or warm the

design for example warm colors and

choice images Using an underlying grid

can help organize content and eliminateclutter

The linear format helps maintain CPACrsquos

identity as it relates to its partners and

other local afliates A few variations

can be seen across publications and

communications material For example

in most marketing materials and cover

designs CPAC chooses a dominant

image with linear accents (see Putting it

Together)

CPAC also uses screens or semi-

transparent boxes when displaying text

over an image to improve readability (see

cover) This usually should not be used forlarge bodies of text

P R E S E NT AT I ON S

CPAC is committed to sharing our individual

expertise as staff members through presentation

and community engagement Presentation styles

vary but overall CPAC is dedicated to clearly

conveying its vision and mission in a way that

engages the audience Share your knowledge ofhow the arts and culture sector is playing a role in

strengthening greater Cleveland and how CPAC

helps that happen

If you use a PowerPoint reference slideology to help

design slides and structure a presentation (a copy is

located on the bookshelf above the design station)

Remember to use program- or research-specic

colors to maintain their individual brand Use plain

language and avoid acronyms whenever possible

Given the diversity within our audiences individuals

may absorb information very differently (visual

vs auditory learners etc) Use PowerPoint as a

visual aid and do not use heavy text or bullet

points Interact with the audience Tell a story

Be approachable Be credible Be engaging Bepassionate Be smart

ldquoThough time is ofen onersquos mostvaluable resource therersquos no wayto avoid spending it i you want apowerul and persuasive speechrdquo- Nancy Duarte slideology

CREATIVE WORKFORCE

FELLOWSHIP

The Creative Workforce Fellowship was the rst

program implemented that ofcially considered

CPACrsquos new brand direction from an artistrsquos initialstaff interaction to the nal survey The following

walks through the program illustrating how CPACrsquos

brand voice translates to practice and forms our

audiencersquos experience

Development of the Creative WorkforceFellowship begins where it ends After reviewing all

comments survey responses and feedback CPAC

suggests improvements to the program Applicant

and panel experience staff time and organization

resources are all considered in this decision-making

process

Marketing Material is designed with a heavy

emphasis on audiences currently underserved by

the program This includes both demographics and

artistic disciplines The intent is that an artist can

immediately identify with the program and CPAC

Communications include sharing information

about the program with artist service organizations

and colleges to promote the Fellowship from

within In this regard an artistrsquos rst interaction

with the program is through an existing relationship

7182019 CPAC Brand Guidelines

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcpac-brand-guidelines 1212

Workshops are free and held in public and easily

accessed spaces such as libraries and performance

venues They are engaging and informative and

should help put applicants in a better position

to succeed in their Fellowship applications

Presentations include a hypothetical bad application

and QampAs with past Fellows Staff is always available

afterwards for questions

The deadline day is often a race with the clock

for applicants CPAC answers all questions and

maintains an encouraging voice throughout the

entire day

An open panel review allows artists to see the

judging process and understand how decisions weremade for the $20000 awards The panel reects

the diversity of the applicant pool and has expertise

needed to critique submissions Panelists are asked

to offer constructive comments so applicants can

learn and improve future applications

Online stream of the event twitter feed and

UStream chat afford greater access to both the

process and staff Staff remains objective yet

conversational

Public announcement of the Fellows is therst time all Fellows are in a room together It is

also one of the only times CPAC Board members

and Fellows meet and interact Everyone is given

the opportunity to share their excitement and

appreciation for one another

Fellowship orientation is welcoming and

informative Itrsquos an opportunity to get to know

the Fellows and have them meet each other

The meeting is packed with information is well

organized and engages multiple staff members to

help Fellows digest material

Fellow social offers a relaxed and informal

experience with other Fellows and CPAC staff This

is a get-together more than a programmed event

Video catalogues offer Fellows and CPAC a

virtual marketing tool These can be embedded on

any website They offer a unique experience that

allows viewers to more easily connect with Fellows

Surveys are sent with the intent to accept any

ideas advice or information from applicants and

panelists

Now at the end of the Fellowship process anyone

who had interacted with the Fellowship should be

able to idenfy CPAC as approachable credible

engaging passionate and smart

FELLOWSHIP

The Creative Workforce Fellowship was the rst

program implemented that ofcially considered

CPACrsquos new brand direction from an artistrsquos initialstaff interaction to the nal survey The following

walks through the program illustrating how CPACrsquos

brand voice translates to practice and forms our

audiencersquos experience

Development of the Creative WorkforceFellowship begins where it ends After reviewing all

comments survey responses and feedback CPAC

suggests improvements to the program Applicant

and panel experience staff time and organization

resources are all considered in this decision-making

process

Marketing Material is designed with a heavy

emphasis on audiences currently underserved by

the program This includes both demographics and

artistic disciplines The intent is that an artist can

immediately identify with the program and CPAC

Communications include sharing information

about the program with artist service organizations

and colleges to promote the Fellowship from

within In this regard an artistrsquos rst interaction

with the program is through an existing relationship

7182019 CPAC Brand Guidelines

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcpac-brand-guidelines 1212

Workshops are free and held in public and easily

accessed spaces such as libraries and performance

venues They are engaging and informative and

should help put applicants in a better position

to succeed in their Fellowship applications

Presentations include a hypothetical bad application

and QampAs with past Fellows Staff is always available

afterwards for questions

The deadline day is often a race with the clock

for applicants CPAC answers all questions and

maintains an encouraging voice throughout the

entire day

An open panel review allows artists to see the

judging process and understand how decisions weremade for the $20000 awards The panel reects

the diversity of the applicant pool and has expertise

needed to critique submissions Panelists are asked

to offer constructive comments so applicants can

learn and improve future applications

Online stream of the event twitter feed and

UStream chat afford greater access to both the

process and staff Staff remains objective yet

conversational

Public announcement of the Fellows is therst time all Fellows are in a room together It is

also one of the only times CPAC Board members

and Fellows meet and interact Everyone is given

the opportunity to share their excitement and

appreciation for one another

Fellowship orientation is welcoming and

informative Itrsquos an opportunity to get to know

the Fellows and have them meet each other

The meeting is packed with information is well

organized and engages multiple staff members to

help Fellows digest material

Fellow social offers a relaxed and informal

experience with other Fellows and CPAC staff This

is a get-together more than a programmed event

Video catalogues offer Fellows and CPAC a

virtual marketing tool These can be embedded on

any website They offer a unique experience that

allows viewers to more easily connect with Fellows

Surveys are sent with the intent to accept any

ideas advice or information from applicants and

panelists

Now at the end of the Fellowship process anyone

who had interacted with the Fellowship should be

able to idenfy CPAC as approachable credible

engaging passionate and smart

CORE AUDIENCES

Since 1997 CPAC has built the trust of the

individuals it serves through its high-qualityofferings and strategic direction To better

communicate these services to the above

audiences CPAC is redening the language

it uses and the design of its public materials

This includes these branding suggestions as

well as implementing plain language in all newdocuments Staff is encouraged to interpret the

brand voice as it best relates to each audience

For example how we engage elected ofcials

may be very different from engaging an arts and

culture staff member More information about

how CPAC implements plain language in itsmaterial can be found in the Style Guidelines

ldquoThe first rule o plain language is writeor your audience Use language youraudience knows and eels comortablewith Take your audiencersquos currentlevel o knowledge into accountrdquo -plainlanguagegov

A RECTILINEAR APPROACH

CPAC uses linear elements to help

structure content and maintain a clean

look on the page This may have atendency to look mechanical or clinical

Include elements to soften or warm the

design for example warm colors and

choice images Using an underlying grid

can help organize content and eliminateclutter

The linear format helps maintain CPACrsquos

identity as it relates to its partners and

other local afliates A few variations

can be seen across publications and

in most marketing materials and cover

designs CPAC chooses a dominant

image with linear accents (see Putting it

Together)

CPAC also uses screens or semi-

transparent boxes when displaying text

over an image to improve readability (see

cover) This usually should not be used forlarge bodies of text

FELLOWSHIP

The Creative Workforce Fellowship was the rst

program implemented that ofcially considered

CPACrsquos new brand direction from an artistrsquos initialstaff interaction to the nal survey The following

walks through the program illustrating how CPACrsquos

brand voice translates to practice and forms our

audiencersquos experience

Development of the Creative WorkforceFellowship begins where it ends After reviewing all

comments survey responses and feedback CPAC

suggests improvements to the program Applicant

and panel experience staff time and organization

resources are all considered in this decision-making

process

Marketing Material is designed with a heavy

emphasis on audiences currently underserved by

the program This includes both demographics and

artistic disciplines The intent is that an artist can

immediately identify with the program and CPAC

Communications include sharing information

about the program with artist service organizations

and colleges to promote the Fellowship from

within In this regard an artistrsquos rst interaction

with the program is through an existing relationship

Workshops are free and held in public and easily

accessed spaces such as libraries and performance

venues They are engaging and informative and

should help put applicants in a better position

to succeed in their Fellowship applications

Presentations include a hypothetical bad application

and QampAs with past Fellows Staff is always available

afterwards for questions

The deadline day is often a race with the clock

for applicants CPAC answers all questions and

maintains an encouraging voice throughout the

entire day

An open panel review allows artists to see the

judging process and understand how decisions weremade for the $20000 awards The panel reects

the diversity of the applicant pool and has expertise

needed to critique submissions Panelists are asked

to offer constructive comments so applicants can

learn and improve future applications

Online stream of the event twitter feed and

UStream chat afford greater access to both the

process and staff Staff remains objective yet

conversational

Public announcement of the Fellows is therst time all Fellows are in a room together It is

also one of the only times CPAC Board members

and Fellows meet and interact Everyone is given

the opportunity to share their excitement and

appreciation for one another

Fellowship orientation is welcoming and

informative Itrsquos an opportunity to get to know

the Fellows and have them meet each other

The meeting is packed with information is well

organized and engages multiple staff members to

help Fellows digest material

Fellow social offers a relaxed and informal

experience with other Fellows and CPAC staff This

is a get-together more than a programmed event

Video catalogues offer Fellows and CPAC a

virtual marketing tool These can be embedded on

any website They offer a unique experience that

allows viewers to more easily connect with Fellows

Surveys are sent with the intent to accept any

ideas advice or information from applicants and

Now at the end of the Fellowship process anyone

CREATIVE WORKFORCE

FELLOWSHIP

The Creative Workforce Fellowship was the rst

program implemented that ofcially considered

CPACrsquos new brand direction from an artistrsquos initialstaff interaction to the nal survey The following

walks through the program illustrating how CPACrsquos

brand voice translates to practice and forms our

audiencersquos experience

Development of the Creative WorkforceFellowship begins where it ends After reviewing all

comments survey responses and feedback CPAC

suggests improvements to the program Applicant

and panel experience staff time and organization

resources are all considered in this decision-making

process

Marketing Material is designed with a heavy

emphasis on audiences currently underserved by

the program This includes both demographics and

artistic disciplines The intent is that an artist can

immediately identify with the program and CPAC

Communications include sharing information

about the program with artist service organizations

and colleges to promote the Fellowship from

within In this regard an artistrsquos rst interaction

with the program is through an existing relationship

7182019 CPAC Brand Guidelines

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcpac-brand-guidelines 1212

Workshops are free and held in public and easily

accessed spaces such as libraries and performance

venues They are engaging and informative and

should help put applicants in a better position

to succeed in their Fellowship applications

Presentations include a hypothetical bad application

and QampAs with past Fellows Staff is always available

afterwards for questions

The deadline day is often a race with the clock

for applicants CPAC answers all questions and

maintains an encouraging voice throughout the

entire day

An open panel review allows artists to see the

judging process and understand how decisions weremade for the $20000 awards The panel reects

the diversity of the applicant pool and has expertise

needed to critique submissions Panelists are asked

to offer constructive comments so applicants can

learn and improve future applications

Online stream of the event twitter feed and

UStream chat afford greater access to both the

process and staff Staff remains objective yet

conversational

Public announcement of the Fellows is therst time all Fellows are in a room together It is

also one of the only times CPAC Board members

and Fellows meet and interact Everyone is given

the opportunity to share their excitement and

appreciation for one another

Fellowship orientation is welcoming and

informative Itrsquos an opportunity to get to know

the Fellows and have them meet each other

The meeting is packed with information is well

organized and engages multiple staff members to

help Fellows digest material

Fellow social offers a relaxed and informal

experience with other Fellows and CPAC staff This

is a get-together more than a programmed event

Video catalogues offer Fellows and CPAC a

virtual marketing tool These can be embedded on

any website They offer a unique experience that

allows viewers to more easily connect with Fellows

Surveys are sent with the intent to accept any

ideas advice or information from applicants and

panelists

Now at the end of the Fellowship process anyone

who had interacted with the Fellowship should be

A RECTILINEAR APPROACH

CPAC uses linear elements to help

structure content and maintain a clean

look on the page This may have atendency to look mechanical or clinical

Include elements to soften or warm the

design for example warm colors and

choice images Using an underlying grid

can help organize content and eliminateclutter

The linear format helps maintain CPACrsquos

identity as it relates to its partners and

other local afliates A few variations

can be seen across publications and

communications material For example

in most marketing materials and cover

designs CPAC chooses a dominant

image with linear accents (see Putting it

Together)

CPAC also uses screens or semi-

transparent boxes when displaying text

over an image to improve readability (see

cover) This usually should not be used forlarge bodies of text
