State Library Annual Report 

This project is a 16-page conceptual annual report that explores the evolving role of the Victoria State Library in preserving and sharing cultural memory and the transition from physical to digital storytelling.

Inspired by the idea of collective memory, the design uses layered visuals and abstract structures to reflect the shift from tradition to illumination. With the assistance of thoughtful layout, typography, and metaphor. The report invites readers to reflect importance that libraries do shape identity, access, and community.
