Become our 2020 Design Partner!

The Design Partnership is a year long partnership between Girls Rock Philly and a local artist. In exchange for a small stipend of $300, the local artist commits to generating 3 major camp / special event designs for Girls Rock Philly.

What do we use the logos for?
The logos are used for our major camps and the Annual Appeal!

What should a Design Partner expect in this year-long process?
We (GRP staff) like to meet our Design Partner once in-person at the beginning of the process to get to know one another. Design Partner has the flexibility to work remotely and communicate via email/text for the remainder of the partnership. We like to share general themes and active concepts of our work with the Design Partner, but we give the Design Partner creative freedom to explore as inspires them. 

Design Partner will provide a rough draft for each logo and engage with GRP staff for a process of dialogue/feedback before creating the final draft. Design Partner receives $100 within the week of completion of each design. 

Design Partner has the option of meeting in person with GRP staff upon completion of the partnership to reflect on the process and share feedback. Design Partner will receive a Swag Bag of GRP shirts featuring their designs!
