I created a design that follows UConn brand standards, while making collection materials the visual focus, and providing flexibility to accommodate a variety of types of content. The project involved working with multiple stakeholders on content development, photography of spaces and collections, design, and editing. I lead the design and provided creative direction, and guided one of our student designers through populating the template I created. These cards are used in the archives reading room for visitors, as well as distributed in classes the archivists teach, and other engagement opportunities. There are currently 17 rack cards, and a brochure about the Archives & Special Collections.
