Growing up, most of my family had careers in the arts, education or both. While I always enjoyed and excelled in art class, the decision to pursue art\u00a0as a career\u00a0came from\u00a0working on the school newspaper. Designing pages for <em>The Tribe News<\/em>,\u00a0I learned how a great layout and graphics could make or break a story. Using art not just for art\u2019s sake, but to present information and explain concepts resonated with me in a way drawing or writing alone did not. Design is my way of combining my\u00a0love of both art and education.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to establishing Becky Weaver Design, I served as the Design Director of several large organizations such as The Aspen Institute, an international public policy think tank;\u00a0<em>Central PA Magazine,<\/em>\u00a0a regional lifestyle publication; and WITF, an NPR\/PBS affiliate. Earlier in my career I also worked as a Copy Editor for a Gannett newspaper and a Marketing Specialist for an international scientific research firm. My breadth of experience in\u00a0various subject areas and mediums allows me to understand diverse industry and audience types, and to evaluate the pros and cons of different communication channels and design styles. This is the foundation of my design process and leads to final projects\u00a0that truly marry form and function.
