Making Publications Worth the Journey
TART TrailS
Since 2013, Flight Path Creative has partnered with TART Trails to bring their annual reports and seasonal newsletters to life as polished, print-ready publications. TART Trails is the backbone of non-motorized travel across Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties — a network of multi-use trails built around a vision of pathways woven into everyday life, fostering movement, community, and a lasting connection to the natural environment. Flight Path Creative's role is to take TART's content and shape it into multi-page booklets that update the community on the nonprofit's important events, contributions, and future goals each year.
The process is deeply collaborative. From initial content setup through rounds of proofing and print preparation, FPC works in close communication with the TART team at every stage, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and a final product that represents the organization with the professionalism it deserves. Each publication is handled with the same care whether it's a milestone annual report or a seasonal update, because every piece that reaches TART's community is a reflection of the trails network itself.
For any organization, an annual report or newsletter is a statement of credibility. It tells donors, partners, members, and the public that you take your mission seriously and value the people who support it. A well-designed publication builds trust, reinforces brand identity, and gives your audience something worth keeping. Flight Path Creative brings the expertise to make that happen, handling the design and production process so your team can stay focused on the work that matters most.
