The NCSA Pocket Folder

The challenge was to create a printed presentation piece that holds loose sheets of 8.5 in. × 11 in. paper. It had to also reflect NCSA’s 30 years of quietly brilliant innovation.

Client

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) is a hub of transdisciplinary research and digital scholarship where University of Illinois faculty, staff, and students, and collaborators from around the globe, unite to address research grand challenges for the benefit of science and society.

The Center also provides integrated cyberinfrastructure—computing, data, networking, and visualization resources and expertise that are essential to the work of scientists, engineers, and scholars at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and across the country.

Project

In preparation of NCSA’s 30th anniversary, the interior of the folder highlights the impact our systems have had on a wide range of disciplines and industry by showcasing 500 images from the NCSA archives.
