Warbler Creative has been working with Crystal Lake South High School since 2019, when South reached out for some fresh designs throughout the school on various posters, flags, shirts, and entrance mural. South wanted the branding of these to feel cohesive, and set standards for projects in the future.
Warbler creative started with the design and painting of a large mural, seen when first walking into the school. We wanted the mural to welcome students and visitors, share recent achievements and news, while also promoting South’s new GATOR values and motivational taglines. These values and taglines such as “For All Students, For Each Student”, “You Matter”, and “Once a Gator, Always a Gator” are repeated on many of South’s projects and work towards South’s goal of creating an inspiring positive message for students and staff to encounter throughout the campus. Warbler Creative has also helped South with several smaller branding projects for events such as Summer of Service and CLSConnect, each with their own look that work with South’s branding as a whole.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Warbler Creative designed a yard sign for South to help congratulate graduating seniors who were stuck at home. This proved to be a well-loved project that has continued every year since.
“Caitlin's creative talents have helped us take a VISION and turn it into a BRAND. Our branding is now visually on display throughout our organization for all to see. Caitlin has been responsive to our ideas, she had enhanced our work with her artistic touch, and she has been timely with her creations. Our partnership with her has been one of the most progressive partnerships that I have experienced during my time as a principal.”
Joshua T. Nobilio, Principal, Crystal Lake South High School
“It has been my pleasure to work with Caitlin over the last few years. She has the unique ability to take my messy brainstorming and turn it into a work of art. She truly listens to her clients, getting to know them as individuals so her work reflects their needs and their values. What is amazing is that Caitlin always delivers several versions of the final product. It's often difficult to choose because I usually love them all!”
