Asian Americans Advancing Justice - AAJC is a leading voice in the Asian American community, fighting for civil rights through education, litigation, and public policy advocacy.

In their report, Beyond Language Translation, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - AAJC—in partnership with Dr. Matthew Bui from the University of Michigan—explores how the digital media use and experiences of Asian Americans are shaped by various cultural, linguistic, and generational factors (e.g., age, ethnicity, education level, and political affiliation). It draws from the reported experiences of 101 youth and adults (aged 15-91) captured across 12 focus groups conducted across the United States.

We were tasked to visually depict and design the report findings of Beyond Language Translation. Using an old newspaper photo as a starting point, we developed a comprehensive graphic language to house the findings—organizing the report with a series of muted pastel colors and finding inspiration in education textbook designs.
