The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s (IEW) mission is to “address issues relating to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor.” The organization offers an extensive line of products to the homeschool market via a direct-mail print and web magalog, as well as their online store.

Catalog Redesign
In the Fall of 2011, Central Creative again provided graphic design and production services to IEW, completing their 2012 “Arts of Language” school-division magalog in early November.
Although the base requirements of the project were consistent with previous efforts and included overall design and production of the 32 page magalog, this iteration included a decided shift in strategy - and a resulting redesign of the magalog.
