The Constitution of the United States is one of the most important documents in the history of humanity, but New York-based branding agency realized a problem with the 230-year-old document. As one might expect from such a venerable document, its physical appearance hardly resonates with modern US citizens, let alone school-aged citizens. As such, the agency has created a redesigned US Constitution, applying modern design principles to the timeless words that comprise it.
ThoughtMatter's copy of the Constitution is currently undergoing a funding round on Kickstarter. Every copy of the soft pink and navy blue document will include a donation of one of the same, giving classrooms across the US a copy that should be far easier for kids to parse when compared to the plain text that they would usually struggle to stay awake through when reading a web copy.
