Overview
Stolen Future: The Untold Story of the 2000 Election is an eBook that was published in 2018. Amazon claims, "In Stolen Future, investigative reporter Stephen Singular conducts a breathtaking historical excavation of a still-controversial 'cold case': the disputed, nail-biter 2000 election in Florida." I was asked to create a variety of images and graphics, including the book cover, press kit, and promotional images. Within the two-day timeframe allotted, I successfully researched, designed, and revised the press kit.
Solution
Inspired by the original ballot, I recreated the design as a vector image and used a variety of textures and filters to embody an aged, distressed feeling. Choosing a color palette of red, black, grey, and white conveyed a sense of mournful urgency. In the promotional image, I stayed on brand with WhoWhatWhy's identity and kept the message clear and direct. This image is primarily used as a panoramic image on their homepage.
