An interesting concept. Creative Go-Round serves multiple communities in the Chicagoland area. First, it provides advise and graphic design work for nonprofits. This work has proven results increasing program reach and providing professional, consistent graphic design images to nonprofits of all size (pamphlets, logos, social media, web sites etc.) Second, Creative Go-Round uses graphic communications students from the Chicagoland area. This provides hands-on experience for the students far beyond most internships provided by the schools. The students run their own projects with their own clients (nonprofits), meetings, scheduling, and making deadlines with high quality products. Professional Graphic Design artists from the Chicagoland area provide mentorship to the students. This has resulted in a 100% placement rate of the students in professional positions with graphic design firms. Finally, Creative Go-Round helps non-profits gain traction by helping them locate resources to advance their programs or get started.
