Project Overview

For 125 years—half the life of the nation itself—DZ has helped shape the modern world through continuous innovation and resilience. To mark both DZ’s 125th anniversary and America’s semi-quincentennial (250 years), I designed an interactive commemorative eBook that frames the company’s story alongside pivotal moments in American history.

The vision for DZ’s 125th anniversary eBook was to bridge a century-plus of rich heritage with forward-looking momentum. Operating alongside half of America’s 250-year history, DZ needed a visual experience that felt both historically grounded and boldly modern.

To achieve this, the narrative is thoughtfully structured decade by decade, tracing the company’s evolution alongside pivotal historical eras. The design strictly adheres to branded typography and clean layouts to maintain core identity, while refined gold accents are woven throughout to signify the historic milestone. The result is an engaging, structured visual journey that respects DZ’s past while signaling where it is headed next.

  • Interactive Digital eBook: Published as an interactive digital publication featuring clickable decade navigation and responsive page-scaling for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Social Media Campaign: Adapted key decade milestones, pull-quotes, and archival highlights into downloadable assets for an extended multi-channel social media anniversary campaign.
  • Internal Org Screensaver Video: Optimized for seamless viewing across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, ensuring an engaging reader experience for remote teams and global clients alike.
  • Executive & PR Asset: Integrated into corporate communications, employee onboarding portals, and media kits commemorating both DZ’s 125th anniversary and national milestone campaigns.
 
 
To help share DZ’s history, a company-wide screensaver was created to showcase its remarkable story of resilience.
