Heroes
This is a booklet on social change and the people, organizations, and ideas that were and are, instrumental in generating forward movement. Our class chose the topics, some of which were well known, while other information was new to us. Besides providing an account of critical people and historical movements, this booklet was a typography assignment in which we learned to work with style sheets and parent pages while creating grid-based layouts using consistent typography, color, and design elements.
It was not easy! The design training for this booklet included many critiques: we asked questions, offered feedback, and worked hard on improving our work. We hope you enjoy the results.
