Neighborhood Annual Report
Edgewater cHamber of commerce, 2014
The Edgewater Chamber produces
a neighborhood annual report to drive awareness of its activities by businesses and residents. We designed the 2014 report as a clean full-bleed infographic. Our design took advantage of a unique opportunity to use branded color as an informational design element. The“ barrel roll” trifold design engages viewers with thoughtfully juxtaposed information and imagery as the report is opened.
