People Power Publishers
Client: Center for Nonviolent Conflict Research
⊹
⊹
Overview
The Center for Nonviolent Conflict Research studies how ordinary people win rights without violence. Its books are often written by the people who lived those movements. For about a decade, CNCR published them as ICNC Press, under one institutional template. We gave the press a new name, People Power Publishers, and a new identity. We also designed a cover system that lets each book look like its own story, and built a website around the catalog.

Before and after: the old ICNC Press template next to two covers we made to take after their own books.
Two more covers from the system we built. One is a duotone photograph, the other an illustration, both clearly from the same house.
The home page we designed and built, with the logo, the promise, and a short path into the free catalog.
On the home page, catalog covers stack over the yellow sun and cyan base of the four-ink palette.

FAQ
Get quick answers about working with us and our approach to digital solutions.
What’s included in a monthly retainer?
01
Each retainer includes a set number of design or strategy requests per month, priority turnaround, and a dedicated point of contact. It’s built for teams who want ongoing support without starting from scratch every time.
How many requests can I make per month?
02
We typically handle up to two active requests at a time, with new ones queued as they’re completed. Most deliverables are turned around within 48–72 hours, depending on complexity.
Is a retainer better than a one-off project?
03
If you need ongoing design support, faster turnarounds, or regular iterations, a retainer is often more cost-effective and collaborative than starting fresh each time.
Who will I be working with?
04
You’ll work directly with senior designers and strategists. No middle layers, no fluff—just experienced people doing the work.
Do you work with international clients?
05
Yes. Most of our clients are remote. We’re fully set up to collaborate across time zones with clear communication and shared tools.
