Adobe XD collaboration with Open Books

Open Books is a (Chicago-based) nonprofit social venture that provides literacy experiences for thousands of readers each year through inspiring programs and creative capitalization of books.

XD worked with Open Books to help realize their dream of transforming everyday teens in Chicago into polished and published fantasy authors. Over the summer, I worked with 19 of my team's designers and 20 Publishing Academy youth to create awe-inspiring book covers for their fantasy novels, which Open Books subsequently published and revealed at a gala in early September 2014.
