Pacific Rim College Online Guidebook

The Client

Pacific Rim College is an esteemed school of holistic medicine and sustainable living located in Market Square, downtown Victoria.

The Challenge

After developing a relationship with the school several years ago, through the design & fabrication of a custom trade show booth and outreach booth, we were approached for another project; the design of a beautiful and informative 1000-page coursebook for Pacific Rim College Online’s new Online Herbalism Program.

Our Approach

After a discovery and ideation phase, we laid out a number of templates for the various types of content in the book: courses, recipes, instructor bios, supply lists, conversion tables, references, plant monographs, glossary, and cover. We created a suite of custom icons to accompany the various contents, as well as 50 illustrations of various plants to add a distinctive visual element to the book and set the stage for a cohesive visual identity among PRCO’s online programs.

The Result

The resulting guidebook is a gorgeous combination of soft, elegant graphics and real-world educational content. We are thrilled to have had this opportunity to make the online education experience a beautiful one for students of the Online Herbalism Program at PRCO.
