Reporting on an organization’s impact on the state of Maryland

Annual report designed at Ashton Design for the University System of Maryland (USM), which comprises 12 separate institutions and more than 176,000 students. The annual report was designed as a social media campaign with daily statistics about the state’s higher education system. We then grouped those statistics into themes that communicated the overall impact USM had on the state of Maryland in 2018, and reformatted them into a small print publication.
