NO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WAS USED IN THE CREATION OF THIS BOOK.
Client: MemoryCare Center • Quilt made by Marianne Jensen • Photography by Tim Burleson
The MemoryCare Center specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia care and education. The memorial quilt was made from fabric swatches donated by loved ones of patients and staff. The quilt and book were presented at the opening ceremony for MemoryCare's new facility in 2017.
For the book design, I was given photographs of the original fabric swatches, stories from loved ones, and the finished quilt. I created a page for each honoree, featuring their story and fabric image, along with a graphical grid and index, built with InDesign tables, that show where each person's swatch is on the quilt. I also used photographs of the quilt to create a collage for the cover and page borders. This was one of the most meaningful design projects I have worked on in my career. Each fabric story, whether dedicated to a patient or a staff member, was deeply moving.
