Jim Janek's profile

Illustrated Field Guide

As an in-house designer in the medical software industry, my company needed a fresh, exciting, and inviting way to introduce new employees to the company. An illustrated 'field guide" in the style of an Army or Boy Scout handbook, turned into something else entirely over time. This second edition features revised illustrations, new text, and a new design, based on feedback from the first edition. 

A "Pick Your Own Adventure" theme dominated the book's middle section, since different employees will experience the company differently. The field guide fits in your pocket and gets to the point in a manner the real company handbook cannot due to its intimidating legal ease.

A small team wrote all the copy — while I designed and illustrated the book.
