Bridging 10 Academic Fields Through Design
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County releases a student led research journal every year called the UMBC Review. I had the privilege of designing the 25th volume, which featured 10 papers, ranging from sociology to quantum physics. The challenge was to create an overarching concept that bridges each author’s unique position, while also celebrating the diversity of knowledge.
