CASE STUDY:

Literacy Action Center

I’ve been fortunate to volunteer as a tutor at the Literacy Action Center since 2016. LAC is a Salt Lake City nonprofit helping to educate adults with limited reading, writing, or math skills. I explored a potential rebranding and web redesign in 2019.

Beginning with sketches, I sought to capture the diverse students and warm, friendly nature of LAC in my designs.

LAC Original Logo and Sketches
LAC Heart Logo
LAC Smile Logo
LAC Card Exploration
LAC Badge Logo

The final icon was based on a redesign of LAC's existing emblem. The original logo has excellent concepts but too much text and detail for reproduction in small format. My redesign incorporates the same concept in a simpler, badge-based icon that uses the book's negative space to form a heart.

I also made a quick, rough web mockup for a potential website. The design was never finished, but it explored what pages and functionality would be required.
