Our team, in collaboration with MediaMonde, Inc. and the Pauls Corporation, contributed our creative to The Adopt-A-Room program, a commitment to turn newly renovated rooms into temporary homes for Colorado-based families in need. This commitment included a donation of $4,000 to cover the cost of renovations and the additional costs with furnishing and decorating the new living areas.

Together, we designed an underwater-themed children's room to inspire smiles and bring joy to families enduring difficult transitional periods in their need to secure long-term housing.

Andrules Design Group, Inc. was approached by the Illinois Workforce Investment Board and the College of Lake County to assist in the design and development of an online employment resource focused on assisting unemployed Lake County residents.

The Lake County Film Festival was founded by Nat Dykeman to deliver independent film to Lake County, Illinois. The inaugural festival, held in August of 2004, generated a new level of regional enthusiasm for independent film, including full-page recognition from local media groups such as The Chicago Tribune, The Pioneer Press and other notable publications in the area.

In consideration of the 2nd Annual Lake County Film Festival, the increased audience attendance and overwhelming number of filmmaker submissions, Nat Dykeman approached our team to develop a solid brand identity, interactive online presence and transitional print materials to generate festival capital from sponsors, filmmakers, and independent film enthusiasts.
