Rizco Design and Pantone Goe Hold Water for United Nations Publication
It’s World Water Week in Stockholm – the meeting place for the planet’s most urgent water-related issues! The United Nation’s GoAL WaSH Programme is playing a critical role in educating others about the progress of third-world nations. This group aims to accelerate achievement of the water and sanitation Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through strategically targeted interventions that strengthen governance of the water and sanitation sectors at appropriate levels. The GoAL WaSH Programme published a 126 + cover, perfect bound book that provides country sector assessments for six countries including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Madagascar, Mali, Paraguay, Sierra Leone and Zambia. Rizco Design was commissioned to handle the design and production for this influential publication.
This project was the perfect test for the new Pantone Goe system, which is known for its eco-sensitive properties of utilizing only 10 base inks with no reflex or rhodamine red. The United Nation’s project needed to be environmentally friendly, but also needed to be printed in two days, on two presses and with heavy use of PMS 293 blue – a problem color that typically contributes to offseting and longer drying periods. Rizco Design worked with Giovanni Marra, Pantone’s Director of Sales and Marketing, to accurately convert PMS 293 to a the appropriate Goe equivalent color, 78-1-5.
FSC-Certified, Printech in Stamford, Connecticut was selected to print the project. Owner, Carmine Fursi, took an pro-active role in working with his ink manufacturers to establish ink drawdowns on FSC-Certified Chorus Art #100 Text and Cover. Positive findings prevailed. The aqueous coated areas of the ink drawdown, had very little color variance than non-coated areas – making us comfortable the color matching on press would be rather seamless … and it was. Pressmen, Tony Eberhardt and Don Nemchek worked seamlessly on a 5-color, Heidelberg Speedmaster and 4-color 29” Perfector to lock in densities and match inside text, without issues.

Converge Brand Development
Converge is New Jersey’s first Coworking space.
I recently had the privilege of developing the brand for the first coworking space in New Jersey and the first in the country to enter into a partnership with a University. Founded by Steve Guberman of Fifth Room Creative.
Naming the space “converge” demonstrates cooperative collaboration that exists within a community of creatives, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, non-profits, students and more. The identity emphasizes stability, transparency and a dimensional perspective that will influence an open, friendly and inspiring environment.

A Healthier You
Sex and a Healthier You Information Guide
To help women learn more about female sexual health and encourage them to talk about related issues they may have, the National Women’s Health Resource Center (NWHRC) and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP), have joined forces to develop a new educational campaign titled, “Sex and a Healthier You.”
The campaign seeks to provide relevant information and advance positive sexual health messages by raising awareness about sexual function as a natural and valued aspect of women’s lives. Additionally, the program aims to increase the level of meaningful and effective communication between women and their health care providers and women and their partners.
The guide was produced and printed in English and Spanish.
