Five Three Design approached Thought Gap with the need to identify a focus for the company, create
a mission statement and compile a professionally produced case studies book that would support their
current portfolio of work. They wanted to become fully aware of their company's purpuse and
communicate that through a cohesive mission statement and booklet of images and language to identify
their ability to assist a company through various stages of the marketing process acting as true
collaborators. The book also needed to show how well they have worked as a design arm for marketing
firms and print houses.

Kristianne spent three months coordinating and leading weekly and bimonthly meetings to help
Five Three Design's partners get on the same page with focus and direction for the company. She then
worked with the entire staff to develop a concise and expressive corporate mission statement that
everyone could live up to. For the portfolio booklet, Kristianne coordinated and organized all existing
tears from projects Five Three Design had produced over the last ten years.

She then edited the samples leaving only the best work to communicate theirunique message.
Particular pieces were selected to illustrate Five Three's talent in developing and maintaining a
consistent brand identity for two of their largest clients. The other category of work evolved out
of Five Three's prolific work for professional and outdoor sports.

Through the process of tear sheet editing, collaborative process reviews and several copy writing
and editing sessions, Thought Gap and Five Three were able to produce a comprehensive overview
of their best work while illustrating the evolution of a successful business relationship between them
and their client. The book reflects Five Three's professionalism and design in it's hinged frosted glass
cover, aluminum post system and black ultrasuede slipcover handmade by Kristianne. The look ties
directly into Five Three's brushed aluminum portfolio box.

The style of the case studies book has laid a solid design foundation for all of Five Three's future
portfolio presentations.
