Mooresville Parks & Recreation — Fall/Winter 2026–27 Activity Guide
A fresh editorial direction for a 45-page seasonal parks and recreation guide, developed through seven sample pages that bring programs, places, and community activities into a clearer, more inviting reading experience. An independent concept, not a completed guide.
Concept project created by Harbor Creative to demonstrate our approach and capabilities. This work was not commissioned by the organization represented.

Mooresville Fall Winter 2026–27 Activity Guide
View Full ProjectThe brief
A seasonal activity guide is often the first place residents discover a program, a park, or a reason to participate. For a municipal parks and recreation department, the design must make a substantial amount of changing information feel inviting and easy to navigate—not merely fit it onto the page. Harbor Creative's independent Fall/Winter 2026–27 concept explores the editorial direction for a complete 45-page, portrait-format activity guide for Mooresville Parks & Recreation. The first design iteration consists of seven representative pages, including the cover, welcome letter, contents, youth programs, park exploration, community celebrations, and a full-guide invitation. Together, these pages demonstrate a repeatable system for accessible schedules, clear hierarchy, approachable imagery, and seasonal storytelling. The complete 45-page publication has not been produced, and the concept was not commissioned or approved by the Town of Mooresville.
Objective
Explore a welcoming, accessible publication system that helps residents discover programs quickly and gives a municipal team a consistent foundation for organizing a full 45-page seasonal guide.
The approach
Harbor Creative began with the reader’s journey: how a parent finds youth programs, how a resident discovers a park, and how families recognize upcoming community events. The seven-page first iteration uses an intuitive contents structure, readable program information, inviting photography, and a consistent editorial rhythm to explore how the broader 45-page guide could come together.
