With the ever-changing cultural landscape, there are people looking for concrete changes and positive impacts for our future. The second annual Culture Shifters project highlights a list of 19 people that are shaping our culture in new and exciting ways. This interactive editorial consists of 19 individual profiles, an animated sizzle reel, branded hub page, editorial photography and social media packaging. As lead Art Director for this project for the second year, I was in charge of curating a cohesive visual brand. I collaborated with photo editors on portrait sessions, created graphics for site content, directed the animation with a freelance animator, wire framed and built the interactive desktop and mobile site. Below you will find a breakdown of elements and the final embeddable site.
