Profiles of Valor

The State Historical Society of Iowa

Challenge

Profiles of Valor is a book that honors the 57 Iowans who received the Medal of Honor during the Civil War. Before publishing, the State Historical Society of Iowa asked Lexicon to edit the text and develop a unified design for its 475 pages. 

Solution

Lexicon created a style guide to ensure consistent, thoughtful editing of the manuscript. We then designed a prototype, the style of which we ultimately implemented through the entire book.
