#42: 1st Grader’s Book Report on Jane & Jake’s Adventures Prequel Story
The Mom of a First Grade student (6 years old) wanted to share her Book Report with JNP. She wanted us to know (and also to inspire other children to read these wonderful adventure books) that her daughter LOVED Jane & Jake’s Adventures to Awesome books so much (she has the first three), that she […]
#41: A Revenue Generating Business VS a Non-Profit
I am a social entrepreneur (taking into consideration a positive return to society), and developed JNP’s brand to fill a need in the education arena—creating a powerful message to kids delivered in a really fun way: EMPOWERMENT THROUGH LITERACY—helping children to grow their inner awesome (self-esteem) through adventures in CHARACTER, COURAGE, and CONFIDENCE.

I recently received these two “virtues” cards from one of the JNP Advisory Committee […]
#37: World Trade Center Institute: Mexican Youth Self-Esteem Open Forum
We had a basic overview of some of the questions the kids wanted to review, and were only slotted to be there for about an hour—a few hours later, at the close of our engagement, all the kids were chanting: I am. I can. I will. Empowered. (I did not prompt them at all to […]
#36: ICONIC IMAGES—Develop them with a story.
The world is full of a rainbow-of-kids, and Jane & Jake’s Adventures to Awesome focuses on the beautiful colors that make up our inner awesome! That’s what we thought about when creating supporting iconic images.
#35: Outer Awesome Color Palette
Our philosophy was to keep this palette neutral in tones so we could add to [exterior] facial and body skin with our “canvas texture,” which would then deepen the opportunity to utilize the exterior imagery as a ‘blank canvas’ ready for each child to express how they may feel and see the characters.
#34: BRAND COLOR PALETTE SPRINGBOARD
Corporate identity can springboard in palette consistency.
