"the story of agnes irvine scott" book
This is one of two small paperback books I designed for Agnes Scott College as part of bicentennial celebration of the birth of the founder's mother (and college namesake). The books would be used widely (requiring reprints) for use in alumna relations, and student and donor recruitment, and they were also sold in the campus bookstore for years. These were complex and interesting projects involving several specialists within the campus community. Alumna and great-great granddaughter Betty Pope Scott Noble wrote the main narrative. History professor Michael Brown wrote the section on the Scots-Irish. The college president wrote an introduction, two professors edited the project and those of us attached to the communications office wrote the college background. A team of folks from various campus departments fact-checked and reviewed the primary research. The college archivist and I pulled together raw textiles and historical images to use for my editorial design. I also executed copy and line editing, as well as print management. This is a standard soft-cover book with heavy cover weight and gloss varnish cover. There was also a fly sheet used just inside the interior, which included the new college logo the communications team had recently developed in the first rebrand of the college in more than a decade.
