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.

Attorney Jason M. O’Malley is a Scranton native. He attended Widener University School of Law as a means to return to his hometown with a law degree to better serve our area.
It has been a wonderful opportunity to work with this talented individual and to brand his company. We wish him great success!

Play Fore Kids is holding an upcoming golf tournament. The committee members came to BlackOut Design for a website. The proceeds go to Marley’s Mission, whose website we also designed. We were more than happy to work with such wonderful people for such a great purpose.
Play Fore Kids is a golf event and benefit bash to raise awareness and help for the Marley’s Mission cause for kids. Marley’s Mission is a non-profit organization that provides equine-based psychotherapy (EAP) therapy to children and families who have experienced trauma. Marley’s Mission arose from the personal tragedy experienced by one local family.
The event is on Thursday, August 11th, 2011 at The Mount Airy Golf Course. Visit the Play Fore Kids website to learn more!

Facebook has become a significant element to grow your business. Few imagined that this social networking service for college students would evolve into a major platform for 600 million users to connect. Facebook is now a key online marketing tool for businesses that can drive increased traffic to your website, generate additional sales, promote brand recognition and loyalty and provide a direct communication link to your clients and customers.
Facebook now offers freedom with your profile image, fan pages and an array of apps that you can plug into them in order for you to customize what people see when they land on your page. This is now a part of the core interactive technology element for BlackOut Design. So far, we have enhanced the Facebook pages for Dropmaster, Modern Gas, One Point, and BlackOut. Check them out and let us know how we can help you to maximize your potential!
