A Guide to Building a Hyper Local History: History-Making, Knowledge Sharing & Creative Storytelling : edited by Khadijah McCaskill
Challenge: The challenge lay in presenting content from a single author that reflected a collaborative process with the Brownsville community. The goal was to maintain a seamless narrative flow, avoiding the traditional chapter segmentation that could disrupt the story's continuity. The content was multimedia-rich, demanding a design akin to a collage to echo the contributions of younger artists involved.
Solution: Utilizing scrollytelling, I developed a singular, interactive webpage that brought the content to life. This approach allowed for a seamless narrative experience while infusing elements of surprise and discovery. The design was built using JavaScript and custom CSS, creating unique interactions that enriched the user's journey through the issue.

Challenge: This issue predominantly comprised concise, powerful text-based content interspersed with purely image-based chapters. The design needed to respect the content's inherent separation while maintaining a cohesive and dynamic overall feel.
Solution: The focus shifted to typography as the primary design element to ensure the issue's dynamism and discovery aspect. I employed custom CSS to craft a visually coherent yet distinct layout for each chapter, balancing the text and image-based content seamlessly.
