SIGTARP Quarterly Reports to Congress
February 19th, 2010 | 
Author: Do you want to know where the bailout money is going and how it’s being spent? Every quarter, The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) tells Congress and the public what is happening with the program. Working with a team of publications professional under subcontract to Deloitte and Touche, Two Sisters helps put this staggering amount of financial data into a format that people can understand. The team has just a few short weeks to develop the graphs, figures, tables, and other visual information. In fact, the data is often changing up until the last minute as the Department of the Treasury checks and triple checks the numbers. As lead designer, it is Karen’s responsibility to ensure that the publication is delivered to GPO on time—and that there are no issues with the book during production.

NAEA “Prism” Book
Project Type
- Academic book
Project Specifications
- 232 pages, plus cover
- 4-c cover, b/w interior
The National Association for Education in the Arts published a book to commemorate the career of one of the leaders in art education. Art educators who had been influenced by her works contributed chapters about her, her work, and her impact. The 232-page “Through the Prism: Looking into the spectrum of writings by Enid Zimmerman” contains 9 sections, a foreword, introduction, and bibliography, as well as hundreds of end note references, pull out quotes, block quotes, and images. Our challenge was to design a book that captured the playful spirit of Enid (who is quite a character), while still be a readable, professional academic book.
NAEA Globalization Book
Project Type:
- Academic book
Project Specs:
- 334 pages
- 4-c cover, b/w interior
The National Association for Education in the Arts publishes several academic books each year. “Globalization, Art, and Education” is a 334-page book divided into four sections. Most of the 40 chapters included images of art, so it was imperative to design a book that could accommodate reasonably large photos without creating a book so large that it would be cost-prohibitive to print.
