As promised last week, here's the second of two great formats that were designed and produced by Slate Group for its client, University of Wyoming.
Last week we saw a super short-run dimensional format and this week we'll see a simple and powerful folded self-mailer that went out to all newly-enrolled students. Don't miss this great idea!
