Yearbook & Alumni Map

Only registered Xavier alumni can enjoy the full experience. However, you can view the public map for a taster. We've detailed a little of what we did to realize this project, from discovery to delivery. 

what we did

Content, Visual & Functionality

Pretty amazing content; yearbooks dating back to 1927 along with emails and ZIP codes of registered alumni (of course, privacy was carefully protected and no specific addresses or email addresses ever appear publicly). We wanted a clean, intuitive interface, enabling fast user interaction for alumni from user sign-up and profile creation to zooming around the map, skimming the yearbooks and finding fellow alumni.
