2016 World Development Report

The WDR is the flagship annual publication of the World Bank. For 2016, the topic was Digital Dividends, exploring how we can use our newfound connectivity to affect positive change in development. Reboot was hired to design the cover, various charts, the style guide to be used by typesetters, and promotional infographics. The project spanned almost 1 year, and offered opportunities to work closely with the report’s authors to create something beautiful, and tailored to their audience—one that doesn’t typically see good design as a prerequisite for an engaging read.
