W.K. Kellogg Foundation

This collection of one-pagers for W.K. Kellogg Foundation employed a branded set of graphics as a system. The system and its graphic elements that were developed were applied across several sheets so they could be easily used separately or together while continuing to engage from one sheet to the next.
