In adapting PEN America’s 2022 – 2023 book ban statistics for public schools in the USA, this project aims to condense over 55+ pages of information into a digestible, informative annual publication.
Awarded by Salute Design Competition and with a Graphis Honorable Mention.
By utilizing a limited color palette with a focus on legibility in the typefaces used, the goals of conveying information to a wide audience of school aged tweens to adults and parents of whom this issue may concern or interest is accomplished. After a survey of individuals ranging from ages 11 to 78, I found an overwhelmingly positive response back about how the book was easy to navigate, legible, and had infographics that were memorable.
Formatting this information into a series of limited sections, infographics, and a reasonably paced out, printed edition aided in my publishing design experience. One of the major educational opportunities of this project was gaining skills in formatting digital files for printing.
