Book Illustration & Data Visualization

This Fight is Our Fight

As a feminist, economist, lawyer, senator, educator and presidential candidate, Warren is nothing short of extraordinary. This Fight is Our Fight is a rallying cry for the middle class. With statistical data, personal stories and real-world examples, Warren lays out the challenges that lie ahead and–true to form–presents her plans to overcome them. We were tasked with providing the data visualization for the book to help illuminate statistical information.

WE WORK BETTER UNDER PRESSURE

The deadline was tight but as we like to say, “We work better under pressure.” We provided several iterations with lightning-fast turnarounds. Our dedication to This Fight is Our Fight paid off, and left the book with simple, beautiful visualizations peppered with greyscale illustration.

“The graphs in the book presented their own challenges, since it was my hope that we could make the presentation of material both clear and interesting. Michelle LeClerc pulled that off with great skill and patiently took on countless versions and tweaks as we worked together to try to get it right.”
