EDI POCKET GUIDE

What if we designed curriculum maps to be more friendly?

The EDI Pocket Guide attempts to capture the experience of being a graduate student in the Engineering Design Innovation program at Northwestern. As both a graduate and current contributor to the program, I illustrated an insider’s view of the program to share with potential student candidates hoping to gain insight into what it looks like to be a part of EDI. The content was designed to be a humanized program description including light-hearted content and personal pronouns in lieu of formal language and dry visuals. It also unfolds.
