This work is one piece of a collaborative series meant to teach a particular demographic about a specific topic. The work shown here are components that I completed solely. Final outputs for this project could include printed and digital materials and was heavily informed by demographic and topic research. 

For this assignment my group chose to create a printed starter kit to instruct our demographic on how to get into vinyl record collection and use. Our target demographic was anyone who is looking to get around the gatekeeping around vinyl records, mainly those ages 20-30. The piece that I mainly focused on was an interactive timeline on the history of vinyl featuring illustrations and text design. The illustrations follow the progression of the technology associated with playing vinyl records. The fonts were specifically selected as they align with key years in what is considered the “vinyl revival” of the 20th and 21st centuries. The pattern that I created to be used in the background is a nod to the popularity of vinyl in pop culture in the 1970s.
