Talooka Studio partnered with Bridgespan to design the “Boats for a Rising Tide” report, which explores how philanthropy can address the racial wealth gap. Our goal was to create a design that conveyed urgency and action while maintaining clarity and understanding. The layout was inspired by the metaphor of rising tides, with flowing graphic elements and subtle wave patterns framing key sections. We used a bold yet minimal color palette—deep blues, grays, and warm accents—to balance seriousness and optimism.
