About the Cover

Abstract

At the iSchool, we study information. What information was traditionally perceived as is changing. Thus, our program has evolved to encompass the many domains information has branched into with its various concentrations. The changes should not come as a surprise, as information is all around us. The flowing design elements of the cover allude to the emerging connections and intersections of information between individuals and between other disciplines. The colour scheme is inspired by the colours of the Claude T. Bissell building at the University of Toronto, also home to the iSchool. The building was built in 1971 as part of Robarts Library—an iconic piece of Brutalist architecture in North America. The font used was Times New Roman. It is a classic font which alludes to our roots, contrasting with the curving line elements, which allude to the different directions the study of information can take us.
