INTRO & GOAL
Craft a strategic publication on behalf of Rowan University’s Office of the President to illuminate key opportunities to meet the upcoming career-focused higher education needs of the region — specifically pertaining to those careers in the health sciences.
STRATEGY & PROCESS
Translated broad concepts and ideas in conjunction with myriad socioeconomic, education, and labor data into understandable renderings, charts, and infographics — all woven together by a seamless narrative.
SOLUTION & OUTCOME
Created a short-run conceptual publication distributed to key stakeholders, “Evolution: A Vision for Rowan University.” It was produced for Rowan University’s Office of the President as a follow-up to the prior year’s publication “Forward: A Vision for Rowan University.” The booklet’s innovative binding is comprised of a wrap-around cover format with unique punch holes for the copper-toned spiral binding — visible only on the back cover. The custom binding elevates an impressively tactile soft-touch black cover stunningly decorated with a 1-color Pantone metallic imprint. “Evolution” made a top-shelf first impression and was a memorable meeting leave-behind.
