Project Rationale
​
In terms of typography, I went for a contrast between the headings of the information (in sans-serif font) and the body text (in serif font). There was a lot of text that had to be included in one spread so the pages above show a good example of how I solved this problem by breaking up the text into smaller, more readable sections. I included the use of negative space to help break up the sections even further and not make the information look to daunting to read through during the Symposium.
​
These Showcase Session pages needed to convey information fast enough for professors attending the Symposium to glean as much information as they feel they need. Whether a professor wants a more detailed description or a short summary, this composition of images and text fits any need.
​
I was allowed more freedom on other pages such as the ones in the spread pictured below. I was given flexibility to do what in terms of color and organization, so I went for a colorful, fun info graphic to display how our office supports faculty. I wanted the other page to reflect a wider color palette than the rest of the booklet as well to break up the monotony of the previous professional look with more eye-catching spreads toward the end of the booklet.
