A personal project to better understand and contextualize the gravity of the recent financial crisis, I compiled a chronological anthology of articles and relevant data creating a concise narrative of the historic events and their implications. I gathered a broad range of articles to measure the effects of the crisis on everything from our financial markets, housing industry, to educational structures, consumer goods, and the collapse of sovereign governments.
The decision to create this compendium was quite simple. As the events of late 2008 unfolded, I felt disconnected and uninformed of their origins, details, and ramifications. I used information and book design as a vehicle to learn, research, and better understand this moment in history.
