We’re happy to announce the addition of a new member to our team!    Eric Watkins will be joining us as Director of Agency Operations and will be overseeing all internal process management for Blackout Design. Having graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design Eric was hired by ad giant J.Walter   Thompson and worked as a creative supervisor and lead producer for 5 years before moving back to Scranton. He brings with him a wealth of creative experience, production knowledge and organizational expertise.

BlackOut Design was recently engaged by Paul Nardone, proprietor of Outrageous and Secretary of the Board for Equality Pennsylvania, to design the Annual Review for Equality Pennsylvania.  Equality PA was in search of a communication piece to reflect the accomplishments and milestones of the organization as it has impacted the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania throughout the past year.  We love a new challenge as well as the opportunity to learn about local organizations.

The mission of Equality Pennsylvania is to be the preeminent LGBT advocacy organization for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and work collaboratively to  establish a comprehensive network of individuals and organizations united in securing equal rights for the LGBT community.

Our team was eager to assist with such a significant project.  Paul suggested BlackOut Design for this task because of our commitment to our clients and our talent to deliver bold new designs.  With the guidance of Paul and the rest of the Equality PA Board, BlackOut was able to properly showcase the accomplishments, initiatives, programs, issues and more in order to create further awareness of the past, present and future of Equality Pennsylvania.

BlackOut Design recently performed a complete website redesign for United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC).  UNC was in need of a makeover to modernize their navigation and overall look.  There was also plethora of information to organize due to the many facets surrounding such an active and positive organization.   All of this was accomplished while working closely with the UNC team to ensure accuracy and approval.

UNC is pushing 90 years of community enrichment through their many programs and services.  They even merged with the Scranton Council of Literacy Advance (SCOLA) in early 2011 to preserve this valuable literacy program.  There are so many more wonderful accomplishments of this volunteer and non profit organization that you can now reference on their website.

BlackOut design was thrilled to work with yet another positive element of the Scranton community.  At your leisure, read more about UNC here.
