IT empowers IU

The IT empowers IU booklet was created for IU’s new president as an introduction to University Information Technology Services (UITS). The booklet overviews the many facets of technology at IU, from learning technologies to research technologies; regional, national, and international networks, cybersecurity and risk mitigation, media digitization and preservation, and all things in between.

The booklet was a companion piece to the UITS Bicentennial Annual Report, designed by David Orr. The cover design mimics the bicentennial report’s cover, which featured die-cut rectangles replicating an old-school computer punchcard. There wasn't a budget to splurge on a die-cut cover, so the look was achieved with more traditional print methods. Ink. And lots of it. The printer needed four passes through the press to achieve optimal ink saturation on the charcoal cover stock.
