Design Challenge:: Produce informative and timely pieces that capture readers' attention. Add color on limited budget.

Solution:: To save money, an out-of-town printer was secured and issues were shipped back for local mailing. Additionally, began full-color PDF distribution where members could opt-out of printed black & white delivery. By creating two versions, the Big Bend Model Railroad Association decreased its publication cost while exciting the membership with a fresh monthly. An added bonus, each issue was completed ahead of schedule and is archived online.

Client Viewpoint:: The Lantern's look, interest and readability were greatly enhanced. While under Shawn's editorship and composition this was without question the best volume in the history of our group. Larry Benson, BBMRA Secretary, Tallahassee, Florida.
