Tank Design Chronicles Boston Marathon Bombing Events through Iconography with Release of “102 HOURS”
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) March 21, 2014 -- In an effort to make sense of the violence the city of Boston and surrounding communities experienced last April, Tank Design, an award-winning design firm based in Cambridge, has created a book using the simplest human language we have: iconography. The book, titled “102 HOURS,” will be released and available for sale at the end of the month.
“102 HOURS,” released on the eve of the Boston Marathon bombing’s first anniversary, represents the events during and following that day. An austere and linear account of a previously inconceivable five days, the book encourages private reflection.
“102 HOURS” will be released and available for sale beginning March 27, 2014, during a launch event hosted by AIGA Boston at the Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge from 6 - 9 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Event details can be found at http://www.boston.aiga.org. The book is also available for purchase online at http://www.102hours.com.
All profits from book sales will be donated to Youth Design, a recognized 503c Boston-based non-profit organization that educates and empowers creative urban youth to become the next generation of designers. Tank Design believes that such education and empowerment can help strengthen communities and help ensure the best future for the Boston area and beyond.
