Design Layout Content

The 2016 Corn Annual was a very special project. I interviewed close to 20 individuals with various connections to the corn refining industry. Their thoughts and experiences helped me build a story that resonates and showcases the most important asset of the industry: the people. Social media assets helped the Corn Refiners Association get the word out about the report and key messaging points.
