Case Study: Fondazione Symbola showcases The Apennines’ biodiversity and heritage with The Visual Agency

Fondazione Symbola showcases The Apennines with The Visual Agency through 12 maps, 20 illustrations, and 40 infographics

The Visual Agency partnered with Fondazione Symbola to create an educational atlas that would communicate the unique environmental, topographical, and cultural features of The Apennines mountain range. The challenge was to present this complex information in a format that would be both engaging and stimulating for public audiences and academia.

The solution was a bespoke atlas that integrated textual narration with extensive visual designs, including 12 geomorphological and hydrographic maps, 20 illustrations of local flora and fauna, and 40 infographics for quantitative data. The Visual Agency's design successfully translated the region's characteristics into an accessible format. The project was highly successful, earning multiple accolades in 2019 including inclusion in the ADI Design Index, regional design excellence awards, a Gold in Book Design, and a Best Graphic Design award.
