Stronger Nation
The Stronger Nation report is an annual effort that tracks the levels of college degree attainment for each state and county within the United States. IG works with Lumina Foundation to design and create communication pieces that can effectively display a massive amount of research data.
Interpreting the data and fashioning the information so people can understand its meaning, we work with Lumina to create products that serve the foundation’s mission and bring the Stronger Nation message and to a national audience – from Capitol Hill to colleges across the country.

IG creates the overall design for all Stronger Nation products, beginning with the main publication, a national report of more than 200 pages that highlights data from all 50 states.
Additionally, state-specific booklets are printed for more targeted distribution.

“I’ve worked with the IronGate team for many years and have never been disappointed. They’re a rare combination of art and science. In other words: They do great creative/design work … and they do it responsively and efficiently.”

In addition to the print version, we also created a web app utilizing the D3.js library to display data for each state and the national level.
