Drone Directory reference guide design and layout

Background

The Stimson Center is a nonpartisan policy research organization whose mission is to solve the world’s greatest threats to security and prosperity. This publication is a reference guide of experts on issues surrounding the use of armed drones and U.S. drone policy. It covers a wide array of sectors and expertise in a number of different issue areas.

Problem

The directory design needed to be interesting, modern and allow for information to be easily found. It also needed to use their existing color palette.

Solution

To achieve this, we created a design that features photos of drones and uses aerospace-themed design elements. We used full-bleed solid colors on the various section introductory pages to allow them to be easily found when flipping through the book and to visually indicate a new section. We created a web-friendly PDF with a clickable table of contents and bookmarks, allowing for quick and easy navigation throughout the book.
