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 .
